Trial overview
Official title: Plaque Removal Efficacy of Four Dentifrices in a Single Brushing Model
Trial description: The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the plaque removal efficacy of four experimental toothpastes following a single timed brushing. Prior to each treatment visit, participants will abstain from oral hygiene for a period of 24 hours (+6hrs, -2hrs), immediately preceding a pre-brushing dental plaque evaluation. Participants will then brush once under supervision for one timed minute with each dentifrice after which re-disclosing and a post-brushing plaque assessment will be carried out.
Primary purpose:
Treatment
Trial design:
Crossover Assignment
Masking:
Double (Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Allocation:
Randomized
Primary outcomes:
Mean change from baseline (pre-brushing to post-brushing) in Turesky score after single supervised use (test product 1 versus [vs] Test product 4) after 4 weeks
Timeframe: Baseline to 4 Weeks
Secondary outcomes:
Mean change from baseline (pre-brushing to post brushing) in Turesky score after single supervised use for Test products 1, 2, 3 and 4 after 4 weeks
Timeframe: Baseline to 4 Weeks
