Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of an Experimental Toothbrush for Treatment and Prevention of Gingivitis (NCT NCT01224158)

NCT ID: NCT01224158

Last Updated: 2019-12-04

Results Overview

Gingivitis was assessed by the Modified Gingival Index on the buccal and lingual marginal gingiva and interdental papillae of all scorable teeth by the dental examiner using following scale score range from 0 to 4, where 0 - Normal (absence of inflammation); 1 - Mild inflammation (slight change in color, little change in texture) of any portion of the gingival unit; 2 - Mild inflammation of the entire gingival unit; 3 - Moderate inflammation (moderate glazing, redness, edema, and/or hypertrophy) of the gingival unit; 4 - Severe inflammation (marked redness and edema/hypertrophy, spontaneous bleeding, or ulceration) of the gingival unit.

Timeframe: Day 42

Population: FAS included all randomized participants who have MGI at Day 0 and at least one MGI value on Day 28 or Day 42.

Supra-gingival plaque was assessed on the facial and lingual surfaces of the teeth (7-7 each arch) using the RMNPI. The facial and lingual surfaces were divided into nine unequal segments, as follows, for a total of 18 sites per tooth: A-C along the gingival margin; D and F (inter-proximal zones) directly above A-C; G-H across the middle of the tooth and I covers the incisal area. Plaque was assigned on one of the following score: 0 represents no dental plaque and 1 represents plaque present in the measured segment of the tooth. Mean RMNPI overall was calculated for each participant as the total score for all tooth sites assessed divided by the total number of tooth sites assessed.

Hard-to-reach mean score is defined as mean of scores over following areas combined; a) Gingival margin (Sites A - C); b) Distal Molars (F for teeth 2, 15, 18, and 31 or the most posterior molar in that quadrant); c) Lingual of the mandibular incisors (Teeth 23-26, lingual); d) Interproximal (Sites D and F); e) Mandibular posterior lingual (Teeth 18-21, 28-31, lingual). Supra-gingival plaque was assessed on facial and lingual surfaces of teeth (7-7 each arch) using the RMNPI. The facial and lingual surfaces were divided into nine unequal segments, as follows, for a total of 18 sites per tooth: A-C along gingival margin; D and F (inter-proximal zones) directly above A-C; G-H across middle of tooth and I covers incisal area. Plaque was disclosed on a scale (0 indicates no dental plaque to 1 indicates dental plaque), Mean RPI overall was calculated for each participant as total score for all tooth sites assessed divided by total number of tooth sites assessed.

Hard-to-reach mean score is defined as mean of scores over following areas separately d; a) Gingival margin (Sites A - C); b) Distal Molars (F for teeth 2, 15, 18, and 31 or the most posterior molar in that quadrant); c) Lingual of the mandibular incisors (Teeth 23-26, lingual); d) Interproximal (Sites D and F); e) Mandibular posterior lingual (Teeth 18-21, 28-31, lingual).

Plaque on each area was assigned one of the following score: on a scale (0 indicates no dental plaque and 1 indicates plaque present in the measured segment of the tooth).
