Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of Oral Hygiene Products in an In Situ Caries Model (NCT NCT02399163)

NCT ID: NCT02399163

Last Updated: 2016-05-12

Results Overview

SMHR test was used to assess the changes in mineralization status of enamel specimens using a Wilson 2100 Hardness tester. SMHR was performed ex-vivo and determined by measuring the length of the indentations of enamel specimens. An increase in the indentation length compared to the baseline indicates softening while decrease in the indentation length represents re-hardening of enamel surface. % SMH recovery was calculated from indentation length (micrometer \[μm\]) of sound enamel specimen at baseline(B), indentation length (μm) after in vitro demineralization(D1), indentation length (μm) after intra-oral exposure (R): \[D1-R/D1-B\]\*100.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 14 days

Population: Per-protocol (PP) population included all participants who were randomized into the study, received at least one dose of study product, had at least one post-baseline efficacy assessment and had no protocol violations deemed to affect efficacy during the study.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 14 days

Population: PP population included all participants who were randomized into the study, received at least one dose of study product, had at least one post-baseline efficacy assessment and had no protocol violations deemed to affect efficacy during the study.

The microdrill enamel biopsy technique was used to analyze the fluoride uptake by enamel. Each enamel specimen was mounted on the long axis of a drill attached to a microdrill and drilled to a depth of approximately 100 micrometer (μm) through the entire lesion (four cores per specimen). The enamel powder pooled from four drilling samples was then immediately analyzed for fluoride content using fluoride specific electrode and pH/ion meter. The amount of fluoride-uptake by enamel was calculated based on the amount of fluoride divided by the area of the enamel cores and expressed as microgram per square centimeter (μg/cm\^2).

Population: PP population included all participants who were randomized into the study, received at least one dose of study product, had at least one post-baseline efficacy assessment and had no protocol violations deemed to affect efficacy during the study.

Fluoride concentration in saliva was measured after collecting saliva samples at the following time points: - at Day 1 baseline prior to supervised treatment. - at day 1 post supervised treatment at site. - at Day 14 post treatment. The amount of fluoride in the samples was calculated based on the amount of fluoride divided by the volume of the sample and expressed as μg/mL of sample.
