About this study
Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Blinded, Clinical Study to Evaluate Effects of an Oral Rinse on Plaque and Gingivitis
Rinse contains an anti-plaque agent that helps prevent the accumulation of dental plaque associated with gingivitis.
Read the detailed description
This is a prospective, single site, randomized, parallel, blinded clinical trial. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups identified as Product A, Product B, Product C or Product D.
Subjects will be screened for eligibility and entered into a washout period that is at least 7 days, during which time they will be provided with study toothbrush, toothpaste and dental floss. No oral rinses or medication that alters oral tissue health will be used or taken during the washout period. After randomization, the designated rinse will be placed into a non-transparent container so that other subjects and clinical examiners do not see the allocated rinse per the randomization schedule.
Examinations for the clinical endpoints (PI, GI and BI) will be conducted at the baseline, 3-month, and 6-month visits.
Interim visits will be scheduled to review diary, replenish study supplies, check study compliance, etc. Subjects will be provided Colgate Regular toothpaste, dental floss and a soft toothbrush (replaced at 3 months) for use during the 6-month study period.
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
3M™ Oral RinseDevice
Also called Plaque control device
The Investigational Rinse contains a sugar-based surfactant using a proprietary formula. The intended use of the product is to help prevent and reduce plaque accumulation on the teeth and related gum-tissue inflammation (gingivitis).
Vehicle Control Oral RinseOther
Also called Placebo Comparator
The Placebo Comparator oral rinse is similar to the Experimental Oral Rinse only it does not contain the active ingredient.
PerioShield™ Oral Health RinseDevice
Also called Active Comparator
PerioShield™ Oral Health Rinse (0.2% delmopinol hydrochloride) is marketed in the US and was purchased for use in this study.
WaterOther
Also called Sham Comparator
Purified bottled water containing no active ingredients.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| 3M™ Oral Rinse | Experimental | Subjects assigned to the Experimental Oral Rinse ('Plaque control device) will swish a volume of 15 mL of the Experimental Rinse for 30 seconds followed by expectoration, twice a day (morning and evening), after brushing teeth, for the 6-month duration of the study. They will use the dosing cup provided by the study team to ensure that the proper dose of rinse is used. Subjects will be instructed not to eat or drink for 30 minutes after using the rinse and to complete the subject daily diary. Receives: Device: 3M™ Oral Rinse |
| Vehicle Control Oral Rinse | Placebo comparator | Vehicle control oral rinse (no active ingredient). Subjects assigned to the Placebo Comparator will swish a volume of 15 mL of the Placebo Comparator rinse for 30 seconds followed by expectoration, twice a day (morning and evening), after brushing teeth, for the 6-month duration of the study. They will use the dosing cup provided by the study team to ensure that the proper dose of rinse is used. Subjects will be instructed not to eat or drink for 30 minutes after using the rinse and to complete the subject daily diary. Receives: Other: Vehicle Control Oral Rinse |
| PerioShield™ Oral Health Rinse | Active comparator | Active control predicate device oral rinse ('Plaque control agent') Subjects assigned to the Active Comparator will swish a volume of 10 mL of the Active Comparator rinse for 30 seconds followed by expectoration, twice a day (morning and evening), after brushing teeth, for the 6-month duration of the study. They will use the dosing cup provided by the study team to ensure that the proper dose of rinse is used. Subjects will be instructed not to eat or drink for 30 minutes after using the rinse and to complete the subject daily diary. Receives: Device: PerioShield™ Oral Health Rinse |
| Water | Sham comparator | Water sham control oral rinse (not a Plaque control agent) Subjects assigned to the Sham Comparator will swish a volume of 15 mL of the Sham Comparator rinse for 30 seconds followed by expectoration, twice a day (morning and evening), after brushing teeth, for the 6-month duration of the study. They will use the dosing cup provided by the study team to ensure that the proper dose of rinse is used. Subjects will be instructed not to eat or drink for 30 minutes after using the rinse and to complete the subject daily diary. Receives: Other: Water |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Plaque Index Score Per Participant at 6 Months
Modified Quigley-Hein Plaque Index 0 = No plaque
- = Separate flecks of plaque at the cervical margin of the tooth
- = A thin, continuous band of plaque (up to one mm) at the cervical margin of the tooth.
- = A band of plaque wider than 1 mm, but covering less than 1/3 of the crown of the tooth.
- = Plaque covering at least 1/3, but less than 2/3 of the crown of the tooth.
- = Plaque covering 2/3 or more of the crown of the tooth. Each tooth is scored for supragingival plaque on six surfaces: 1) mesio-facial; 2) mid-facial; 3) disto-facial; 4) mesio-lingual; 5) mid-lingual; and 6) disto-lingual. Third molars and those teeth with cervical restorations or prosthetic crowns will be excluded from the scoring procedure.
The PI score of the individual can be obtained by adding the scores of all surfaces and dividing by the number of surfaces examined.
Measured: 6 months
Gingivitis Index Score Per Participant at 6 Months
Löe-Silness Gingival Index
0 = Absence of inflammation.
- = Mild inflammation: slight change in color and little change in texture.
- = Moderate inflammation: moderate glazing, redness, edema, hypertrophy. Tendency to bleed upon probing.
- = Severe inflammation: marked redness and hypertrophy. Tendency to spontaneous bleeding.
The gingival surface surrounding each tooth (all natural teeth) will be scored on six surfaces: 1) mesio-facial; 2) mid-facial; 3) disto-facial; 4) mesio-lingual; 5) mid-lingual; and 6) disto-lingual. Third molars and those teeth with cervical restorations or prosthetic crowns will be excluded from the scoring procedure. The GI score of the individual can be obtained by adding the scores of all surfaces and dividing by the number of surfaces examined.
Measured: 6 months
Secondary outcomes (4)
Plaque Index Score Per Participant at 3 Months
Modified Quigley-Hein Plaque Index 0 = No plaque
- = Separate flecks of plaque at the cervical margin of the tooth
- = A thin, continuous band of plaque (up to one mm) at the cervical margin of the tooth.
- = A band of plaque wider than 1 mm, but covering less than 1/3 of the crown of the tooth.
- = Plaque covering at least 1/3, but less than 2/3 of the crown of the tooth.
- = Plaque covering 2/3 or more of the crown of the tooth. Each tooth is scored for supragingival plaque on six surfaces: 1) mesio-facial; 2) mid-facial; 3) disto-facial; 4) mesio-lingual; 5) mid-lingual; and 6) disto-lingual. Third molars and those teeth with cervical restorations or prosthetic crowns will be excluded from the scoring procedure. The PI score of the individual can be obtained by adding the scores of all surfaces and dividing by the number of surfaces examined.
Measured: 3 months
Bleeding Assessment Per Participant at 6 Months
Eastman Interdental Bleeding Index 0 = Absence of bleeding.
1 = Presence of bleeding The interdental cleaner is inserted between two teeth from the facial aspect, depressing the interdental tissues 1 to 2 mm. This is repeated four times and the presence or absence of bleeding within 15 seconds is recorded. The absence or presence of bleeding will be recorded for each examined site (between two teeth), and a score will be calculated as the number of bleeding sites out of the number of examined sites for each evaluation on a subject.
Measured: 6 months
Gingivitis Index Per Participant at 3 Months
Löe-Silness Gingival Index
0 = Absence of inflammation.
- = Mild inflammation: slight change in color and little change in texture.
- = Moderate inflammation: moderate glazing, redness, edema, hypertrophy. Tendency to bleed upon probing.
- = Severe inflammation: marked redness and hypertrophy. Tendency to spontaneous bleeding.
The gingival surface surrounding each tooth (all natural teeth) will be scored on six surfaces: 1) mesio-facial; 2) mid-facial; 3) disto-facial; 4) mesio-lingual; 5) mid-lingual; and 6) disto-lingual.
