Study Description

Brief Summary:

The objective of this clinical research study is to assess the efficacy of a commercially available triclosan/copolymer toothpaste compared to a commercially available oral hygiene multi-component regimen encompassing the use of a manual toothbrush, a toothpaste containing stannous fluoride / sodium hexametaphosphate and a mouthwash containing cetylpyridinium chloride relative to a negative control regimen in reducing established dental plaque and gingivitis over three and six months of assigned product use.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Dental Plaque; Gingivitis	Drug: Triclosan/fluoride toothpaste; Drug: stannous fluoride toothpaste; Drug: fluoride only toothpaste; Drug: Cetylpyridinium chloride mouthwash; Drug: Fluoride only mouthwash	Phase 4

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Dental Plaque Scores [ Time Frame: Baseline ]
   Dental Plaque (Quigley-Hein, Turesky Modification Index) 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)
2. Dental Plaque Scores [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
   Dental Plaque (Quigley-Hein, Turesky Modification Index) 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)
3. Dental Plaque Scores [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
   Dental Plaque (Quigley-Hein, Turesky Modification Index) 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)
4. Gingivitis Scores [ Time Frame: Baseline ]
   Gingivitis scale (Loe & Silness Gingival Index) 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)
5. Gingivitis Scores [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
   Gingivitis scale (Loe & Silness Gingival Index) 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)
6. Gingivitis Scores [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
   Gingivitis scale (Loe & Silness Gingival Index) 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)
