Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
- An individual must meet all the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for enrollment into the study:

- A participant who is willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan and other study procedures.
- A participant in good general and mental health with, in the opinion of the investigator or medically qualified designee, no clinically significant or relevant abnormalities in medical history or upon oral examination, or condition, that would impact the participant’s safety, wellbeing or the outcome of the study, if they were to participate in the study, or affect the individual’s ability to understand and follow study procedures and requirements.
- A participant at screening (Visit 1) with: a)at least 20 natural permanent teeth excluding 3rd molars; b)at least 40 evaluable surfaces (an evaluable surface is defined as having 2/3rds of the natural tooth surface gradable for the selected clinical indices. The following should not be included in the evaluable surface count- third molars; fully crowned/extensively restored, grossly carious, orthodontically banded/bonded or abutment teeth; surfaces with calculus deposits which, in the opinion of the clinical examiner, would interfere with the baseline assessments of the selected clinical indices); or c) participants with generalized mild-moderate plaque-induced gingivitis, in the opinion of the clinical examiner, as confirmed by visual examinations.
- A participant at baseline (prior to dental prophylaxis, (Visit 2) with: a)ongoing hard tissue eligibility and, in the opinion of the clinical examiner, at least 40 evaluable surfaces; b) mean whole mouth Modified Gingival Index (MGI) greater than equal to (>=) 1.75 to less than equal to (<=) 2.30; c) mean whole mouth supra-gingival Turesky Plaque Index (TPI) score ≥ 1.5; d) ≥ 20 bleeding sites.
Exclusion criteria:
- An individual who meets any of the following exclusion criteria will not be eligible for enrollment into the study:
- A participant who is an employee of the investigational site, either directly involved in the conduct of the study or a member of their immediate family; or an employee of the investigational site otherwise supervised by the investigator; or, a GlaxoSmithKline employee directly involved in the conduct of the study or a member of their immediate family.
- A participant who has participated in other studies (including non-medicinal studies) involving investigational product(s) within 30 days prior to study entry and/or during study participation.
- A participant with, in the opinion of the investigator or medically qualified designee, an acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator or medically qualified designee, would make the participant inappropriate for entry into this study.
- A participant with, in the opinion of the investigator or medically qualified designee, any clinically significant/relevant abnormalities in medical history or oral examination, or any other condition, that would affect the individual’s ability to understand and follow study procedures and requirements.
- A participant with any medical condition which, in the opinion of the investigator or medically qualified designee, is causing xerostomia.
- A participant with any medical condition which in the opinion of the investigator or medically qualified designee, could directly influence gingival bleeding.

- Medication Exclusions: a )at screening (Visit 1)- i)participant who requires antibiotics prior to dental prophylaxis or other dental procedures, ii) participant who is currently taking antibiotics, iii) participant who is currently taking an anti-inflammatory medication which, in the opinion of the Investigator, could affect gingival condition (e.g. ibuprofen), iv) participant who is currently taking anti-coagulant medication which, in the opinion of the Investigator, could affect gingival condition (e.g. warfarin), v) participant who is currently taking a systemic medication or traditional/herbal remedy which, in the opinion of the Investigator, could affect gingival condition (e.g. immunosuppressants such as cyclosporine, phenytoin, calcium channel blockers, aspirin therapy); b) at baseline (Visit 2)- i) participant who has taken antibiotics in the 14 days prior to baseline, ii) participant who has taken an anti-inflammatory medication in the 14 days prior to baseline which, in the opinion of the Investigator, could affect gingival condition (e.g. ibuprofen), iii)participant who has taken anti-coagulant medication in the 14 days prior to Baseline which, in the opinion of the Investigator, could affect gingival condition (e.g. warfarin), iv)participant who has taken a systemic medication or traditional/herbal remedy in the 14 days prior to Baseline which, in the opinion of the Investigator, could affect gingival condition (e.g. immunosuppressants such as cyclosporine, phenytoin, calcium channel blockers, aspirin therapy), v) participant who has used an antibacterial dentifrice or mouth rinse in the period between Screening and Baseline.
