Basic Information

Recruitment status Recruiting
Health condition(s) or Problem(s) studiedperiodontal disease
Date of first enrollment20/01/2026
Target sample size20
Countries of recruitment
Study typeInterventional
Intervention(s)After obtaining consent, a preliminary examination will be conducted, including a periodontitis test and oral function tests (saliva volume measurement, tongue coating evaluation, oral dryness evaluation, saliva viscosity evaluation, occlusal force test, chewing function test, and bacterial type and quantity test). After that, keora Oral Moisture Mist will be used (3 pumps (0.6g) per time) and the bad breath suppression effect will be measured (using Oral Chroma) 10 minutes later. A one-day flush-out period will be set, and from the day after tomorrow, brushing with keora Oral Moisture Gel (3 pumps (0.6g) per time) will be performed twice a day (morning and evening) after regular brushing for a total of 5 days.

Outcome(s)

Primary OutcomeBad breath measurement (measurement of volatile sulfur compound concentration in breath using OralChroma)
Secondary OutcomePISA (Periodontal Inflamed Surface Area) Saliva volume measurement Tongue coating degree (TCI Oral dryness using the Mucus oral moisture mete Saliva viscosity using the NEVA METER Biting force test Chewing function using Glucosensor II Quantification of periodontal pathogenic bacteria (ORCOA) Measurement of oral bacterial load
