Clinical Investigation to Examine Toothpaste Effect on Oral Bacteria

NCT ID: NCT02194621

Last Updated: 2016-04-15

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE4
• Total Enrollment: 128 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2014-01-31
• Study Completion Date: 2014-03-31

Brief Summary

The primary objective was to evaluate the antibacterial effects of two toothpastes containing 0.3% triclosan, 2% copolymer and 0.234% sodium fluoride in a silica base as compared to a control regular fluoride toothpaste on anaerobic and malodor bacteria 12 hours after 13 days of product use. A secondary objective was to demonstrate that a toothpaste containing 0.3% triclosan, 2% copolymer, 0.234% sodium fluoride and a flavor with odor-masking ingredients in silica base (Colgate Total Toothpaste-Flavor Option 1) provides a level of antibacterial efficacy that is "equivalent" to a toothpaste containing 0.3% triclosan, 2% copolymer, 0.234% sodium fluoride and a regular flavor in silica base (Colgate Total Toothpaste-Flavor Option 2) after 13 days of product use.
