Abstract

Objective: Poor orodental health is a root cause of various oral conditions, viz., dental caries, periodontal diseases, malocclusion, orofacial anomalies, and many more that result in pain, suffering, and even disability. Around 3.5 billion population suffers from one or the other dental condition globally. Moreover, poor orodental health also contributes to many systemic diseases. The newer therapeutic agents are needed to prevent dental caries and plaque formation and thereby protect teeth from further damage. Colloidal Nanosilver (SilverSol®) Tooth Gel is a colloidal nanosilver preparation along with xylitol and peppermint oil with a unique biodisruptive nanotechnology having multidimensional activity due to its wound healing and antimicrobial properties. Methodology: The present study was conducted on 120 patients suffering from different dental conditions to assess the efficacy of SilverSol® Tooth Gel. Results: SilverSol® showed a significant effect in almost all the conditions monitored in the patients. There was a reduction in extrinsic tooth stains and pocket depth score in the mouth by 58.6 and 52.2% respectively. Breath malodor also showed improvement as the score reduced by 66%. Altogether, it contributed to the overall oral health improvement by 69%. Conclusion: SilverSol® Tooth Gel is effective in several orodental conditions including periodontitis and gingivitis in comparison to chlorhexidine gel. Routine application of SilverSol® Tooth Gel will prevent these conditions and maintain the overall orodental health.
