Abstract

Objective To evaluate two kinds of traditional Chinese mouthwash on the anaerobic bacteria of oral cavity and levels of the volatile sulfur compounds. Methods A dual-center, randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trials lasted for one month was adopted. A total of 60 subjects was selected and randomly allocated in three groups—Xipayi group, Jinzhi Jieyin group and placebo group. Recordings were assessed at the baseline, two weeks and one month. They included the changes of the volatile sulfur compounds and bacteria of the oral cavity. Results: At the two weeks and one month, the Xipayi group and Jinzhi Jieyin group resulted in a significant reduction in the VSCs scores. And the two groups got a greater change in comparison to the placebo group (P < 0.05). At the same time, the Xipayi group and Jinzhi Jieyin group resulted in a significant reduction in the total anaerobic bacteria of oral cavity. The changes of the two groups were more than the placebo group (P<0.05), whereas no significant reduction was observed between the two groups. Conclusion The Xipayi group and Jinzhi Jieyin group are effective in the treatment of the VSCs and the anaerobic bacteria of oral cavity.
