Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Brush only Group

Participants assigned to this group will brush their teeth using soft bristled toothbrush and colgate cavity protection toothpaste as directed under virtual supervision once daily during the week. Participants will brush second time unsupervised daily in the evening and twice daily over the weekend/holidays at home.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Colgate Cavity Protection Toothpaste

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants used Colgate cavity protection toothpaste for brushing teeth twice daily.

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will brush twice daily for 1 minute with the toothpaste and soft bristled toothbrush provided.

Brush/Rinse Group

Participants assigned to this group will perform their regimen (brushing \[soft bristled toothbrush and colgate cavity protection toothpaste\] and rinsing \[listerine cool mint antiseptic mouthwash\]) as directed under virtual supervision once daily during the week. Participants will brush and rinse a second time unsupervised daily in the evening at home. At home, participants will brush and rinse a second time unsupervised daily in the evening and twice daily over the weekend/holidays. First product use will occur at the site under supervision.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
