Primary Outcome Measures:

Dental Plaque [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Quigley Hein Method: Units on a scale 0 to 5 (0 = no plaque, 1 = separate flecks of plaque on the tooth, 2 = a thin continuous band of plaque, 3 = a band of plaque up to one-third of the tooth, 4 = plaque covering up to two thirds of the of the tooth, 5 = plaque covering two-thirds or more of the crown of the tooth. Plaque score= sum of all scores divided by the number of sites (teeth) scored.
Gingivitis Score [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Gingivitis score (GI)= Units on a scale 0 to 3 (0 = no inflammation,

1 = Mild inflammation-slight change in color and little change in texture 2 = Moderate inflammation-moderate glazing, redness, edema and hypertrophy. Tendency to bleed upon probing. 3 = Severe inflammation-marked redness and hypertrophy. Tendency to spontaneous bleeding. GI scored=sum of GI scores divided by the number of sites (gingival gum line around the tooth)scored.
Bleeding Index (EIBI) [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Eastman Interdental Bleeding Index Scores (EIBI) measures the number of interdental spaces that bleed, divided by number of interdental spaces studied to yield a score with a minimum of O and a maximum of 1 (0=no bleeding & 1= bleeding) The number of spots between teeth that bleed are divided by number of spots between teeth that are scored and may be expressed as a percent when multiplied by 100.
