Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Bleeding on Marginal Probing (BOMP) – Angular Bleeding Index (Van der Weijden 1994).
This score will be done on day 0, day 21, week 1, week 2 en week 4.
The gingiva is lightly dried with compressed air and lightly probed with a probe. The probe is inserted into the gingival crevice to a depth of approximately 2mm or until slight resistance is felt. The probe is run gently along the marginal gingival holding the probe at a an angle of approximately 60 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the tooth and in contact with the sulcular epithelium. Minimum axial force is used to avoid undue penetration in the tissue. The probe is moved around the crevice gently stretching the epithelium. A bleeding score is given to six gingival areas of the tooth. These are the disto-vestibular, vestibular, mesio-vestibular, disto-lingual, lingual and the mesio-lingual regions.
Secondary outcome
Turesky Modification of the Quigley Hein Plaque Index (TQPHI)
This score will be done on day 0, day 21, week 1, week 2 en week 4.
Dental Plaque and debris will be graded using the same scale as the Turesky Index, but at the following six (6) sites: Mesial, distal and mid surfaces on the facial aspect; Mesial, distal and mid surfaces on the lingual aspect The area to be graded on the mesial and distal will be determined by three reference points. These points are the line angle of the tooth to the contact point both bordered by the gingival margin. This allows a small triangular area to be graded. In the event that there is no contact between teeth, the height of contour of the tooth should be used as the reference point.
SCORE CRITERIA:
0 No plaque / debris.
1 Separate flecks of plaque at the cervical margin of the tooth
2 A thin continuous band of plaque (up to 1mm) at the cervical margin
of the tooth
3 A band of plaque wider than 1mm but covering less than 1/3 of the
crown of the tooth.
4 Plaque covering at least 1/3 but less than 2/3 of the crown of the
tooth
5 Plaque covering 2/3 or more of the crown of the tooth
8 Unscorable tooth
9 Missing tooth
Background summary
The study is designed as a two treatment, examiner-blind, randomized, experimental gingivitis, split-mouth design study. A 3-week non-brushing period (experimental gingivitis) will be introduced to standardize the level of gingivitis inflammation at the start of the actual experiment. This model will assess the reduction of gingivitis after this 3-week experimental gingivitis (EG) period comparing 2 manual brushes in a split-mouth design.
Study objective
N/A
Study design
- Familiarization Phase
The familiarization phase will last approximately 20 days.
- Experimental Gingivitis Phase
The experimental phase will last 21 days.
- Healing Phase
The healing phase will last 4 weeks
Intervention
Familiarization Phase:
-Brushing 2x a day 2 minutes: Crest Cavity Protection toothpaste in combination with on alternate days the Oral-B CrossAction ProHealth manual toothbrush or Oral-B Advantage 123 manual toothbrush.
-Using interdental cleaners 2x a day
The familiarization phase will last approximately 20 days.
Experimental Gingivitis Phase
Subject are instructed to refrain from brushing the lower jaw for the next 21 days, during which time they brush their upper jaw on alternate days with one of the two brushes to further familiarization.
-Brushing 2x a day 2 minutes in the upper jaw: Crest Cavity Protection toothpaste in combination with on alternate days the Oral-B CrossAction ProHealth manual toothbrush or Oral-B Advantage 123 manual toothbrush.
The experimental phase will last 21 days.
Healing Phase:
Brushing 2x a day:Crest Cavity Protection toothpaste in combination with the Oral-B CrossAction ProHealth manual toothbrush and Oral-B Advantage 123 manual toothbrush.
This is according to a split mouth design, whereby either the right or left side of the mouth being brushed for a period of one (1) minute per side with either the CrossAction ProHealth manual toothbrush or the Advantage 123 manual toothbrush, and the opposing side for 1 extra minute with the alternative brush, as randomly assigned.
The healing phase will last 4 weeks.
