Trial Outcomes & Findings for Oral Tissue Tolerance of a Mouthrinse (NCT NCT01009554)

NCT ID: NCT01009554

Last Updated: 2015-07-03

Results Overview

The tooth color of the four maxillary incisor teeth (teeth #7-10, facial surface) was measured instrumentally using the MHT SpectroShade System. Assessments were made under standardized lighting conditions after participants brushed their teeth with water. The aperture tip was placed perpendicularly to the facial surface of the tooth and the color measured using the CIElab color system. The changes in the individual L\*, a\*, and b\* color parameters were calculated to determine quantitatively the improvements in tooth lightness, redness, and yellowness, respectively. An overall change in tooth color was calculated using the CIE color equation ΔE = \[(ΔL\*)\^2 + (Δa\*)\^2 + (Δb\*)\^2\]\^1/2. The ΔE was calculated per tooth and then averaged over the teeth for a participant.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: through 8 weeks

Population: Analysis was based on the Safety Analysis Set, defined as all participants who used at least one dose of investigational product.

Oral tissue tolerance was assessed by oral tissue adverse events for which the relationship to treatment was considered as possible, probable, or very likely. If the relationship to treatment was missing, the adverse event was categorized as a treatment-related adverse event.

Population: Analysis was based on the Full Analysis Set, defined as all randomized participants who used the investigational product and had baseline and at least one post-baseline efficacy assessment.

The mean stain score (0-9) per participant was determined by multiplying the individual area and intensity scores from each region and summing them then dividing by the number of sites scored. The facial and lingual surfaces of the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth (teeth #6-11 and #22-27) were scored using the Macpherson Modification of the Lobene Stain Index. Each surface was divided into 4 regions (gingival, mesial, distal, and body). All four regions were scored for area and intensity according to the following criteria. Stain area for mesial, gingival, and distal regions were scored on a 4-point ordinal scale (0=no stain present, natural tooth color; 3=stain covers entire area) and for the body of tooth on a 4-point ordinal scale (0=no stain present, natural tooth color; 3=stain outside pits/grooves, over 10% of surface affected). The intensity of yellow-brown stains occurring in each region was assessed on a 4-point ordinal scale (0=no stain; 3=heavy, dark stain).

The intensity of yellow-brown stains occurring in each region is unrelated to the area covered with stained pellicle. All four regions were assessed on a 4-point ordinal scale as 0=no stain, 1=faint stain (can be seen with close examination), 2=moderate stain (clearly visible and aesthetically unacceptable), 3=heavy, dark stain (obvious and aesthetically unacceptable).

Population: Analysis was based on the Full Analysis Set, defined as all randomized participants who used the investigational product and had baseline and at least one post-baseline efficacy assessment.

The mean stain score (0-9) per participant was determined by multiplying the individual area and intensity scores from each region and summing them then dividing by the number of sites scored. The facial and lingual surfaces of the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth (teeth #6-11 and #22-27) were scored using the Macpherson Modification of the Lobene Stain Index. Each surface was divided into 4 regions (gingival, mesial, distal, and body). Stain area for mesial and distal regions were scored on a 4-point ordinal scale (0=no stain present, natural tooth color; 3=stain covers entire area). The intensity of yellow-brown stains occurring in each region was assessed on a 4-point ordinal scale (0=no stain; 3=heavy, dark stain).

Population: Analysis was based on the Full Analysis Set, defined as all randomized participants who used the investigational product and had baseline and at least one post-baseline efficacy assessment.

The facial and lingual surfaces of the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth (teeth #6-11 and #22-27) were scored using the Macpherson Modification of the Lobene Stain Index. Each surface was divided into 4 regions (gingival, mesial, distal, and body). The body regions were scored for intensity according to the following criteria. The intensity of yellow-brown stains occurring in each region is unrelated to the area covered with stained pellicle. The body regions were assessed on a 4-point ordinal scale as 0=no stain, 1=faint stain (can be seen with close examination), 2=moderate stain (clearly visible and aesthetically unacceptable), 3=heavy, dark stain (obvious and aesthetically unacceptable).

Timeframe: 8 weeks

Population: Analysis was based on the Full Analysis Set, defined as all randomized participants who used the investigational product and had baseline and at least one post-baseline efficacy assessment.

The lingual surfaces of the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth (teeth #6-11 and #22-27) were scored using the Macpherson Modification of the Lobene Stain Index. Each surface was divided into 4 regions (gingival, mesial, distal, and body). All four regions were scored for intensity according to the following criteria. The intensity of yellow-brown stains occurring in each region is unrelated to the area covered with stained pellicle. All four regions were assessed on a 4-point ordinal scale as 0=no stain, 1=faint stain (can be seen with close examination), 2=moderate stain (clearly visible and aesthetically unacceptable), 3=heavy, dark stain (obvious and aesthetically unacceptable).

Population: Analysis was based on the Full Analysis Set, defined as all randomized participants who used the investigational product and had baseline and at least one post-baseline efficacy assessment.

The lingual surfaces of the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth (teeth #6-11 and #22-27) were scored using the Macpherson Modification of the Lobene Stain Index. Each surface was divided into 4 regions (gingival, mesial, distal, and body). All four regions were scored for area according to the following criteria. Stain area for mesial, gingival, and distal regions were scored as 0=no stain present, natural tooth color; 1=thin line of stain, may be discontinuous; 2=thick line or band of stain; 3=stain covers entire area and for the body of tooth as 0=no stain present, natural tooth color, 1=stain limited to pits and grooves; 2=stain outside pits/grooves, up to 10% of surface affected; 3=stain outside pits/grooves, over 10% of surface affected.
