Taste Acceptance and Effectiveness of Hyaluronic Acid and Chlorhexidine Mouthwashes in Children With Gingivitis

This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to compare the taste acceptance and clinical effectiveness of hyaluronic mouthwash and chlorhexidine mouthwash in children with plaque-induced gingivitis. Clinical outcomes will be assessed using gingival and plaque indices, while taste acceptance will be evaluated using a validated hedonic scale. The findings may help identify a mouthwash that is both effective and acceptable to children, thereby improving adherence to oral hygiene practices.
