Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Phase 3 Clinical Study Investigating the Gingivitis Efficacy of a Test Dentifrice Containing Stannous Fluoride (NCT NCT04123665)

NCT ID: NCT04123665

Last Updated: 2020-01-31

Results Overview

BI-to assess bleeding elicited on probing as a measure of gingival condition. Gingivae were air dried and examiner assessed bleeding using a probe which was gently inserted into gingival crevice to depth of approximately(app)1millimeter(mm)and run around tooth(angle of app60\[degrees(deg)\] to long axis of tooth), gently stretching epithelium while sweeping from interproximal to interproximal along sulcular epithelium. BI assessed on facial and lingual gingival surfaces of each scorable tooth(7in each arch). 3scores were recorded buccally/labially,3scores lingually/palatally. All scorable teeth in one quadrant were probed first(app30seconds\[sec\])before recording number of gingival units which bled. Values presented as means across all tooth surfaces with minimum and maximum scores in agreement with minimum and maximum index values(i.e.,0-2).BI score:0=no bleeding after30sec,1=bleeding upon probing after30sec,2=immediate bleeding observed. Lower scores indicate better results.

Turesky Modification of Quigley Hein Plaque Index-to assess plaque on all gradable teeth. Participants rinsed the plaque in dye solution of 5milliliters(mL)of solution for 10 sec, then expectorated and rinsed with 10 mL of water for 10 sec and then expectorated again. Plaque was assessed with each tooth being divided into 6 areas including mesiofacial, facial, distofacial, mesiolingual, lingual and distolingual surfaces. Values presented as means across all tooth surfaces with minimum and maximum scores in agreement with minimum and maximum index values (i.e.,0-5). Disclosed plaque scored as:0=no plaque, 1=slight flecks of plaque at the cervical margin of the tooth,2=a thin continuous band of plaque (1mm or smaller) at the cervical margin of the tooth, 3=a band of plaque wider than 1mm but covering less than 1/3 of the area, 4=plaque covering at least 1/3 but less than 2/3 of the area,5=plaque covering 2/3 or more of the crown of the tooth. Lower scores indicate better results.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: At Week 12 and Week 24

Population: Analysis was performed on ITT population \[N=91\] which included all participants who received study treatment and had at least one post-baseline efficacy measurement. Number analyzed included participants with available data for each specified category.

Number of gingival bleeding sites were measured as part of bleeding index via a single examiner using a color-coded periodontal probe. The probe was engaged approximately 1 mm into the gingival crevice. A moderate pressure was used whilst sweeping from interproximal to interproximal along the sulcular epithelium. For each participant, the scoring system used to measure bleeding sites is as follows: 0= no bleeding after 30 sec, 1= bleeding upon probing after 30 sec, 2= immediate bleeding observed. Lower bleeding sites indicate better results.
