The effect of Aloe vera on the reduction of plaque and gingivitis was evaluated in a randomized, parallel and double-blind clinical trial. Subjects were randomly allocated to the test group (n=15) - dentifrice containing Aloe vera - or the control group (n=15) - fluoridated dentifrice. Plaque index (PI) and gingival bleeding index (GBI) were assessed at days 0 and 30. Subjects were asked to brush their teeth with the control or test dentifrice, three times a day, during a 30-day period. There was a significant reduction on plaque and gingivitis in both groups, but no statistically significant difference was observed among them (p>0.01). The dentifrice containing Aloe vera did not show any additional effect on plaque and gingivitis control compared to the fluoridated dentifrice.
在一项随机、平行且双盲的临床试验中,评估了芦荟对减少牙菌斑和牙龈炎的效果。受试者被随机分配到试验组(n = 15)——含芦荟的牙膏组,或对照组(n = 15)——含氟牙膏组。在第0天和第30天评估牙菌斑指数(PI)和牙龈出血指数(GBI)。要求受试者在30天内,每天使用对照牙膏或试验牙膏刷牙三次。两组的牙菌斑和牙龈炎均有显著减少,但两组之间未观察到统计学上的显著差异(p>0.01)。与含氟牙膏相比,含芦荟的牙膏在控制牙菌斑和牙龈炎方面未显示出任何额外效果。
