What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in plaque score
Visual quantification of dental plaque amount on teeth buccal surfaces (wisdom teeth excluded).
0% = no visible plaque on teeth surfaces 100% = plaque visible on all teeth surfaces
Measured: Baseline; 2 weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
Bleeding on Probing
Quantifying gingival bleeding after gentle gum manipulation assessed on 6 points per tooth (exluded wisdom teeth).
0% = No bleeding on all assessed points 100% = Bleeding on all assessed points
Measured: Baseline; 2 weeks
