A Long Term Clinical Evaluation of a Clay Containing Dentifrice in Antarctic Naval Personnel
Gingivitis is a prevalent dental ailment in naval personnel. A new highly adsorbent clay dentifrice has been developed. The theoretical action in vivo is thought to be the adsorption and consequent inactivation of the bacterial toxins responsible for gingivitis. A six--month study designed using 44...
