Summary

Background This study investigates the effects of zinc-containing stents on gingival inflammation, bleeding, and plaque regrowth in gingivitis patients.

Methods A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted at Çukurova University, enrolling 42 systemically healthy gingivitis patients aged 18-30. Participants were assigned to either a test group (zinc-containing stents) or a control group (placebo stents) and instructed to wear their stents for at least 12 hours daily for four weeks. Clinical measurements, including Gingival Index (GI), Plaque Index (PI), and Bleeding on Probing (BOP), were assessed at baseline, and at the 2nd, 4th, and 8th weeks. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS and RStudio.
