About this study

Official title: Randomized Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial on the Effects of an Oral Probiotic Intervention With or Without a Novel ADP-1 Toothpaste

  • Randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial on the effects of an oral probiotic intervention with or without a novel ADP-1 toothpaste Objective
  • Determine the safety and effectiveness of oral probiotic intervention with or without a novel toothpaste and compare with placebo
Read the detailed description

Hypotheses:

  1. Subjects using oral probiotics will have better oral health than subjects using placebo toothpaste and placebo lozenges.
  2. Subjects using oral probiotics and ADP-1 toothpaste will have better oral health than subjects using oral probiotics and regular toothpaste, and subjects using regular toothpaste and placebo lozenges.

What is being measured

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

  1. Gingival Index

    • Gingival Index measures gingival condition of the marginal and interproximal tissues (mesial, lingual, distal, facial) separately on the basis of 0 to 3 with 0=Normal gingiva; 1= Mild inflammation - slight change in color and slight edema but no bleeding on probing; 2= Moderate inflammation - redness, edema and glazing, bleeding on probing; 3= Severe inflammation - marked redness and edema, ulceration with tendency to spontaneous bleeding.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Plaque Index

    • Plaque index is used as a method of recording the presence of plaque on individual tooth surfaces. These surfaces are mesial, distal, buccal and lingual.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Halitosis

    • Halitosis will be measured using a digital bad breath checker. The instrument is a small device with a sensor that sits near your mouth. This instrument senses volatile sulfur compounds or VSCs and produces a parts-per-billion (ppb) measurement of the foul-smelling compounds.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Intraoral Imaging

    • Intraoral imaging of tooth decay can be measured in at least one of the following methods: (1) Using traditional intraoral imaging camera in the dental clinics to visualize tooth decay on the tooth surface, and (2) Using a laser fluorescence pen to detect tooth decay.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. SAQ

    Self-Assessment Questionnaire will consist of no more than 100 questions examining quality of life across one or several of these domains: (1) social well-being, (2) mental well-being, (3) physical well-being, (4) oral health and (5) dental hygiene and halitosis.dental hygiene and halitosis.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. Microbial Community Analysis

    Oral swabs from the gum line will be collected using DNA Genotek OMNIgene-ORAL swab kits and stored in the accompanying swab storage tube for microbial community analysis. qPCR testing will be performed in house in USANA.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oral probiotic in people with Oral Health, run by USANA Health Sciences at 1 site in United States.

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 9 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Apr 2023. 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Gingival Index (time frame: 8 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 21 Apr 2023.
