Methods: Relevant studies will be searched in PUBMED, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, WANGFANG, VIP, CBM, and CNKI from inception to the March 31, 2020 without limitations of language and publication time. All potential randomized controlled trials on the clinical efficacy of DYWC for the treatment of gingivitis will be considered. Two authors will independently perform literature selection, data collection, and study quality assessment. Any disagreements will be solved by a third author through discussion. We will utilize RevMan 5.3 software for statistical analysis. Results: This study will summarize present randomized controlled trials on the efficacy and safety of DYWC for the treatment of gingivitis. Conclusion: The findings of this study will provide evidence to show whether DYWC is effective and safety for gingivitis. Systematic review registration: INPLASY202040199.
