Participant Flow

Sixty-one apparently healthy subjects aged 19-45 were recruited from the University of Illinois at Chicago campus and surrounding Medical District. Recruitment began in August 2015.

This study did not include pre-assignment criteria other than inclusion/exclusion criteria that determined study eligibility. Only 5 of the 66 screened subjects did not meet eligibility for participation. Qualified subjects were then assigned, by computer randomization in Crosspad©, a subject identification number and randomized.

Measure
Plaque Identifying Toothpaste
A 30 day supply of dosed syringes containing a plaque identifying toothpaste. Toothpaste was dosed in 2 ml syringes and subjects were instructed to use half (1ml) in the morning and half (1ml) in the evening.
Non-plaque Identifying Toothpaste
A 30 day supply of dosed syringes containing an identical non-plaque identifying toothpaste. Toothpaste was dosed in 2 ml syringes and subjects were instructed to use half (1ml) in the morning and half (1ml) in the evening.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 30 - 60 days post baseline

Population: Primary analysis group definition was based on the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) principle.

Measure description "percentage" refers to the change in plaque percentage from the baseline to the follow-up visit. The follow-up visit occurred between 30 and 60 days post baseline.
