Trial Outcomes & Findings for Potential of Stannous Fluoride Toothpaste to Reduce Gum Disease (NCT NCT02750943)

NCT ID: NCT02750943

Last Updated: 2017-10-26

Results Overview

Number of bleeding sites was measured as bleeding index (BI) via a single examiner using a color coded periodontal probe. The probe was engaged approximately 1 millimetre (mm) into the gingival crevice. A moderate pressure was used whilst sweeping from interproximal to interproximal along the sulcular epithelium. The BI was assessed on the facial and lingual gingival surfaces of each scorable tooth (7-7 in each arch). The BI scoring system used to measure bleeding sites is as follows: 0= No bleeding after 30 seconds; 1= Bleeding upon probing after 30 seconds; 2= Immediate bleeding observed. Bleeding sites were assessed as the number of bleeding sites with a BI score of 1 or 2.

Measure
Stannous Fluoride
Participants were instructed to apply a full ribbon of dentifrice containing 0.454% weight by weight (w/w) stannous fluoride to the study toothbrush and brush their teeth in their usual manner for one timed minute twice daily (morning and evening) for 12 weeks.
Sodium Monofluorophosphate
Participants were instructed to apply a full ribbon of dentifrice containing 1000 parts per million (ppm) fluoride as sodium monofluorophosphate to the study toothbrush and brush their teeth in their usual manner for one timed minute twice daily (morning and evening) for 12 weeks.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 12

Population: Intent to treat (ITT) population which included all participants who were randomized, received at least one dose of study product and had at least one post-baseline efficacy measurement. Number of participants analyzed is the number of participants from ITT population evaluated for this outcome at Week 12 for respective treatment arm.

Number of bleeding sites was measured as bleeding index (BI) via a single examiner using a color coded periodontal probe. The probe was engaged approximately 1 millimetre (mm) into the gingival crevice. A moderate pressure was used whilst sweeping from interproximal to interproximal along the sulcular epithelium.

MGI was assessed on facial and lingual surfaces at two sites on each tooth (papillae and margin). The scoring of the MGI was performed under dental office conditions using a standard dental light for illuminating the oral cavity. This procedure was performed by a single examiner. The MGI scoring system is as follows: 0 = absence of inflammation; 1 = mild inflammation; slight change in color, little change in color; little change in texture of any portion of the marginal or papillary gingival unit; 2 = mild inflammation; criteria as above but involving the entire marginal or papillar gingival units; 3= moderate inflammation; glazing, redness, edema, and/ or hypertrophy of the marginal or papillary gingival unit; 4 = severe inflammation; marked redness, edema and/or hypertrophy of the marginal or papillary gingival unit, spontaneous bleeding, congestion, or ulceration.
