Video: New Clinical Trial Results Show Germ-Killing Action of LISTERINE(R) Antiseptic Kills Germs in the Mouth Before They Travel to the Bloodstream
Date:9/24/2009

MORRIS PLAINS, N.J., Sept. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- The results of a new clinical study demonstrate that the plaque and gingivitis germ-killing action of LISTERINE((R)) Antiseptic significantly reduces the amount of germs that travel from the mouth to the bloodstream in people with mild to moderate gingivitis. These findings are significant, as emerging science suggests that gingivitis, if left untreated and allowed to progress to advanced gum disease, could contribute to broader health problems such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and pneumonia.

The randomized, controlled, crossover study conducted at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey found that participants using LISTERINE((R)) Antiseptic as directed experienced a reduction in aerobic and anaerobic bacteria in the blood stream (67.3% and 70.3%, respectively). Anaerobic bacteria are the type most associated with gum disease. The results will be presented during a symposium at the American Dental Association Annual Session in Hawaii.

"The findings from this study serve as compelling evidence to further the theory that plaque and gingivitis germs that migrate from the mouth to the bloodstream may contribute to broader health problems such as diabetes and heart disease," said Daniel H. Fine, DMD, chair of the Department of Oral Biology at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and lead investigator of the study. "While additional research in this area is necessary, this study undoubtedly proves that LISTER
