Abstract
BackgroundMechanical disruption of dental biofilm is critical to maintain periodontal health. Baking soda–containing dentifrices have shown to be potential aids for improving gingival health and maintaining dental biofilm control. Types of Studies ReviewedEvidence from classic and contemporary literature is reviewed and summarized in this review. In vitro and in vivo (animal and human, respectively) studies and clinical trials have been analyzed. ConclusionsSome clinical studies demonstrated the benefits of baking soda dentifrices in plaque and gingivitis reduction. Clinical trials with longer follow-up would be useful to confirm the impact of baking soda on gingival health. Practical ImplicationsRegular dental biofilm control and adjunctive use of baking soda dentifrices in an otherwise healthy and compliant patient may provide success in maintenance of gingival health.
