Study Groups

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

Brush Only

Participants will brush their teeth using a marketed soft bristled toothbrush and Colgate Cavity Protections Toothpaste for 2 timed minutes under virtual supervision in the morning. At home, participants will brush a second time unsupervised daily in the evening and twice daily over weekends and holidays for the first 3 months of the study (up to visit 3). After visit 3, for the next three months until the end of the study, weekday virtual visits will drop to three times a week. First product use will occur at the site under supervision. Participants will be required to record their daily product use times on a participant diary.

Group Type OTHER

Colgate Cavity Protection Toothpaste

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants will use Colgate Cavity Protection Toothpaste for brushing teeth twice daily.

Brush/Rinse (LISTERINE ZERO Alcohol Mouthwash COOL MINT)

Participants will brush their teeth using a marketed soft bristled toothbrush and Colgate Cavity Protections Toothpaste for 2 timed minutes and then rinse for 30 seconds with LISTERINE ZERO Alcohol Mouthwash COOL MINT under virtual supervision in the morning. At home, participants will brush and rinse a second time unsupervised daily in the evening and twice daily over weekends and holidays for the first 3 months of the study (up to visit 3). After visit 3, for the next three months until the end of the study, weekday virtual visits will drop to three times a week. First product use will occur at the site under supervision. Participants will be required to record their daily product use times on a participant diary.

LISTERINE ZERO Alcohol Mouthwash COOL MINT

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants will use LISTERINE ZERO Alcohol Mouthwash COOL MINT for 30 second after brushing teeth twice daily.

Interdental Brush/Brush

Participants will use their interdental brush according to their personalized "mouth map", rinse with water then brush their teeth using a marketed soft bristled toothbrush and Colgate Cavity Protections Toothpaste for 2 timed minutes under virtual supervision in the morning. At home, participants will brush a second time unsupervised daily in the evening and twice daily over weekends and holidays for the first 3 months of the study (up to visit 3). After visit 3, for the next three months until the end of the study, weekday virtual visits will drop to three times a week.

* Able to read and understand (participants capable of reading the documents)
* Able to schedule once daily virtual session during weekdays during the first three months of the study (up to visit 3) and then three times a week for the remainder of the study for interdental brush use and rinsing in real time via a platform such as Zoom, Facetime, Google Meet, Etcetera (etc)

* Suspected alcohol or substance abuse (example, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, cocaine, marijuana, opiates)

* Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the Investigator, would make the participant inappropriate for entry into this study
