As one of home remedies for periodontal disease, it would be a matter of important fact to apply cleaning in mouth and also giving massage on gums by means of brushing. In recent years, in order to promote such brushing effect with appropriate dentifrice, various experimental studies are being made in those sources of supplies. Just recently, Sato Seiyaku Co., Ltd. having presented the “ACES”, produced in technical concert with Dr. Madaus in West Germany, clinical investigations have been made by me and the result is stated as follows. 1. The effective percentage of this agent is 85.5% (59 instances against 69) for gingivitis and 66.7% (38 instances against 57) for marginal periodontitis. 2. The agent is more effective against simple gingivitis in improving inflammation and particularly rejecting itching and also discharging pus from false gingival pockets. 3. This agent is quite effective for marginal periodontitis especially for its slight disease in improving inflammation and excluding itching feeling. 4. It takes about 4 weeks to see actual effect of this agent after prescribing and so it is advisable to apply it for at least 4 weeks or more. 5. No particular reaction of this agent has been realized.
