University & Peer-Reviewed Research14

Loma Linda University University study

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey 2025 University study Peer-reviewed

StellaLife significantly inhibited the growth of F. nucleatum 12 hours after treatment and P. gingivalis 100+ hours after treatment, while exhibiting lower toxicity toward commensal bacteria such as S. oralis, S. gordonii and V. parvula compared to LIS or CHX. In the clinical ex vivo biofilm, StellaLife, CHX and Listerine all showed significant antibiofilm effects, disrupting biofilm structure and reducing bacteria viability.

CHX and PVD demonstrate superior antibacterial properties, but significantly reduce HGF proliferation. AO is bacteriostatic at lower dilutions but is highly toxic to HGFs. VEGA (StellaLife) was bacteriostatic and demonstrated no detrimental effects on HGFs.

Dental Economics Article

Both 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate and OxiStom showed a decrease in NO (nitric oxide) potential after rinsing, while StellaLife had no effect on the test strip color and presumably NO concentration — a first step toward showcasing a mouth rinse that decreases pathogenic bacteria while avoiding removal of the eubacteria involved in NO production.
