Effect of a Bioactive Mineral-Ionic Mouthrinse on Periodontal Soft Tissue Healing
Sponsor: Biointelligent Technology Systems SL
Summary
This randomized, double-blinded clinical trial was designed to evaluate the effects of a bioactive mineral-ionic mouthrinse (THERAVEX® Total Oral Care Plus) on postoperative healing and patient comfort following simple tooth extraction. Tooth extraction is one of the most common dental procedures and is frequently associated with postoperative pain, inflammation, and delayed soft tissue healing. Conventional mouthrinses such as chlorhexidine are widely used for their antimicrobial properties; however, alternative approaches aimed at supporting the physiological healing process are increasingly being investigated. A total of 94 systemically healthy patients requiring simple tooth extraction were enrolled and randomly allocated into three parallel groups receiving either a bioactive mineral-ionic mouthrinse, chlorhexidine 0.12%, or normal saline as postoperative oral rinses. Participants and investigators were blinded to group allocation throughout the study period. The primary objective of the study was to assess early soft tissue healing of the extraction socket using standardized clinical measurements of buccolingual (BL) and mesiodistal (MD) socket dimensions at different postoperative time points. Secondary objectives included the evaluation of postoperative pain using a visual analog scale (VAS), as well as clinical assessment of tissue response during the healing period. The study aims to investigate whether a bioactive mineral-ionic oral rinse may serve as a supportive postoperative strategy for enhancing early wound healing and improving patient-reported comfort after dental extraction procedures

Interventions
Normal Saline
Sterile isotonic saline solution used as a control intervention. Participants were instructed to rinse according to the study protocol.
chlorhexidine (CHX)
Chlorhexidine gluconate solution (commonly 0.12%) used as an antimicrobial oral rinse following standard postoperative instructions.
Theravex Bioactive Solutions (Tissue Care Plus and Oral)
A bioactive mineral-based oral rinse designed to support postoperative oral tissue healing. Participants followed the same rinsing protocol as other groups.
