About this study

Official title: A Proof of Principal Study to Investigate the Stain Control of Two Stannous Fluoride Dentifrices

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the stain build up of two stannous fluoride (SnF2) / sodium tripolyphosphate (STP) dentifrices of differing abrasivity levels, with a marketed standard fluoride dentifrice and a marketed SnF2 dentifrice.

Read the detailed description

This proof of principal (PoP) single centre, randomised, examiner blind, four-treatment arm, parallel design study will be used to evaluate and compare the stain buildup of two 0.454% SnF2/ 5% STP dentifrices of differing abrasivity levels, with a marketed standard fluoride dentifrice and a marketed SnF2 dentifrice. Stain will be assessed following a full professional dental prophylaxis, at intervals over a 4 week treatment period, using an established clinical measure of extrinsic dental stain - the MacPherson modification of the Lobene stain index (MLSI). Participants will be stratified by pre-prophylaxis MLSI score (total MLSI Area x Intensity (A×I) for the facial surfaces of the 12 anterior teeth) and smoking status. The study will be conducted in healthy participants with a propensity for extrinsic dental stain (in the opinion of the examiner) on the facial surfaces of the anterior teeth.

Being tested
Stannous fluoride (SnF2, 0.454%), Sodium tripolyphosphate (STP, 5%), 2.0% abrasive silica, Stannous fluoride (SnF2, 0.454%), Sodium tripolyphosphate (STP, 5%), abrasive silica (3.5%), Sodium Monofluorophosphate (1000 ppm fluoride ), RDA~80, Stannous fluoride (SnF2, 0.454%), RDA~120

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Overall Modified Lobene Stain Index (MLSI) Mean Score at Week 4

    An assessment of the area and intensity of dental stain on the study teeth was performed using the MLSI after usage of the allocated study dentifrice, after 4 weeks twice daily use. The intensity of stain was scored separately for the gingival and body areas of each assessable tooth on a scale of 0 to 3 (0 - no stain, 1- light stain, 2 - moderate stain, 3 - heavy stain). The area of stain was scored separately for the gingival and body areas of each assessable tooth on the following scale: 0 - no stain; 1 - stain up to 1/3 of the area affected; 2- stain between 1/3 and 2/3 of the area affected; and 3 - stain more than 2/3 of area affected. Overall MLSI was calculated by multiplying scores of intensity and area, and was thus analyzed on a scale of 0 (best score) to 9 (worst score).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Jan 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Modified Lobene Stain Index (MLSI) Mean Score at Week 4 (time frame: Baseline and Week 4). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03160703, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Jun 2019.
