Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Clinical Study to Evaluate Effects of an Oral Rinse on Plaque and Gingivitis (NCT NCT03421145)

NCT ID: NCT03421145

Last Updated: 2024-10-01

Results Overview

Modified Quigley-Hein Plaque Index 0 = No plaque 1. = Separate flecks of plaque at the cervical margin of the tooth 2. = A thin, continuous band of plaque (up to one mm) at the cervical margin of the tooth. 3. = A band of plaque wider than 1 mm, but covering less than 1/3 of the crown of the tooth. 4. = Plaque covering at least 1/3, but less than 2/3 of the crown of the tooth. 5. = Plaque covering 2/3 or more of the crown of the tooth. Each tooth is scored for supragingival plaque on six surfaces: 1) mesio-facial; 2) mid-facial; 3) disto-facial; 4) mesio-lingual; 5) mid-lingual; and 6) disto-lingual. Third molars and those teeth with cervical restorations or prosthetic crowns will be excluded from the scoring procedure. The PI score of the individual can be obtained by adding the scores of all surfaces and dividing by the number of surfaces examined.

Participant Flow

Subjects entered a washout phase after meeting screening qualifications. These subjects used the study oral hygiene supplies (toothpaste, toothbrush, and dental floss) for at least 7 days before the baseline qualification visit. Subjects were randomized to enter the study after their baseline qualifications were met.

Measure
3M™ Oral Rinse
Subjects assigned to the Experimental Oral Rinse ('Plaque control device) will swish a volume of 15 mL of the Experimental Rinse for 30 seconds followed by expectoration, twice a day (morning and evening), after brushing teeth, for the 6-month duration of the study. They will use the dosing cup provided by the study team to ensure that the proper dose of rinse is used. Subjects will be instructed not to eat or drink for 30 minutes after using the rinse and to complete the subject daily diary. 3M™ Oral Rinse: The Investigational Rinse contains a sugar-based surfactant using a proprietary formula. The intended use of the product is to help prevent and reduce plaque accumulation on the teeth and related gum-tissue inflammation (gingivitis).
Vehicle Control Oral Rinse
Vehicle control oral rinse (no active ingredient). Subjects assigned to the Placebo Comparator will swish a volume of 15 mL of the Placebo Comparator rinse for 30 seconds followed by expectoration, twice a day (morning and evening), after brushing teeth, for the 6-month duration of the study. They will use the dosing cup provided by the study team to ensure that the proper dose of rinse is used. Subjects will be instructed not to eat or drink for 30 minutes after using the rinse and to complete the subject daily diary. Vehicle Control Oral Rinse: The Placebo Comparator oral rinse is similar to the Experimental Oral Rinse only it does not contain the active ingredient.
PerioShield™ Oral Health Rinse
Active control predicate device oral rinse ('Plaque control agent') Subjects assigned to the Active Comparator will swish a volume of 10 mL of the Active Comparator rinse for 30 seconds followed by expectoration, twice a day (morning and evening), after brushing teeth, for the 6-month duration of the study. They will use the dosing cup provided by the study team to ensure that the proper dose of rinse is used. Subjects will be instructed not to eat or drink for 30 minutes after using the rinse and to complete the subject daily diary. PerioShield™ Oral Health Rinse: PerioShield™ Oral Health Rinse (0.2% delmopinol hydrochloride) is marketed in the US and was purchased for use in this study.
Water
Water sham control oral rinse (not a Plaque control agent) Subjects assigned to the Sham Comparator will swish a volume of 15 mL of the Sham Comparator rinse for 30 seconds followed by expectoration, twice a day (morning and evening), after brushing teeth, for the 6-month duration of the study. They will use the dosing cup provided by the study team to ensure that the proper dose of rinse is used. Subjects will be instructed not to eat or drink for 30 minutes after using the rinse and to complete the subject daily diary. Water: Purified bottled water containing no active ingredients.

Eastman Interdental Bleeding Index 0 = Absence of bleeding. 1 = Presence of bleeding The interdental cleaner is inserted between two teeth from the facial aspect, depressing the interdental tissues 1 to 2 mm. This is repeated four times and the presence or absence of bleeding within 15 seconds is recorded. The absence or presence of bleeding will be recorded for each examined site (between two teeth), and a score will be calculated as the number of bleeding sites out of the number of examined sites for each evaluation on a subject.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 months

Population: study subjects who presented for 3-month follow-up visit

Eastman Interdental Bleeding Index 0 = Absence of bleeding. 1 = Presence of bleeding The interdental cleaner is inserted between two teeth from the facial aspect, depressing the interdental tissues 1 to 2 mm. This is repeated four times and the presence or absence of bleeding within 15 seconds is recorded. The absence or presence of bleeding will be recorded for each examined site (between two teeth), and a score will be calculated as the number of bleeding sites out of the number of examined sites for each evaluation on a subject.
