Proden PlaqueOff Humans > Research news

A study of 30 patients predisposed to plaque and tartar build-up (using the OHI-S oral hygiene index).

• In addition to their normal oral hygiene, they took two ProDen PlaqueOff® capsules a day.
• They were examined 8 weeks later and the results are shown in Figures 1 and 2.

• The average reduction in tartar, analysed per tooth, varies between 30 and 60% (p < 0.011 to p < 0.001)
• The average reduction in plaque, also analysed per tooth, varies between 71 and 87% (p < 0.00 to p < 0.0001)

More accurate examination of the initial data reveals that the tartar had virtually disappeared or had been noticeably reduced in 16 of the subjects.

However, for all of the subjects, the researcher reports that the tartar was much softer and easier to remove, and in some cases the patient was able to remove it himself.
