Evaluation of Oral Hygiene Products in an In Situ Caries Model
Clinical Evaluation of Oral Hygiene Products in an In Situ Caries Model
The study will evaluate and compare the potential anti-caries efficacy of a test regimen: placebo (fluoride free) toothpaste (twice daily use) plus fluoride mouthwash (once daily use), in comparison with brushing with a placebo toothpaste alone (twice daily use), to remineralize previously demineralized enamel specimens, as measured by Surface MicroHardness Recovery (%SMHR).
This will be a single center, randomized, laboratory analyst blinded, placebo, four treatment, cross-over study in healthy participants. Participants will be assessed at baseline and at the beginning and end of each treatment visit to monitor clinical efficacy and safety.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Percentage Surface Microhardness Recovery (%SMHR) of Placebo Dentifrice/Fluoride Rinse Compared to Placebo Dentifrice/No Rinse
Time Frame: Baseline to 14 days
|
SMHR test was used to assess the changes in mineralization status of enamel specimens using a Wilson 2100 Hardness tester.
SMHR was performed ex-vivo and determined by measuring the length of the indentations of enamel specimens.
An increase in the indentation length compared to the baseline indicates softening while decrease in the indentation length represents re-hardening of enamel surface.
% SMH recovery was calculated from indentation length (micrometer [μm]) of sound enamel specimen at baseline(B), indentation length (μm) after in vitro demineralization(D1), indentation length (μm) after intra-oral exposure (R): [D1-R/D1-B]*100.

Baseline to 14 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Percentage Surface Microhardness Recovery (SMHR) of Placebo Dentifrice/Fluoride Rinse, Placebo Dentifrice/No Rinse, Fluoride Dentifrice/No Rinse and Fluoride Dentifrice/Fluoride Rinse

Enamel Fluoride Uptake
Time Frame: Baseline to 14 days
|
The microdrill enamel biopsy technique was used to analyze the fluoride uptake by enamel.
Each enamel specimen was mounted on the long axis of a drill attached to a microdrill and drilled to a depth of approximately 100 micrometer (μm) through the entire lesion (four cores per specimen).
The enamel powder pooled from four drilling samples was then immediately analyzed for fluoride content using fluoride specific electrode and pH/ion meter.
The amount of fluoride-uptake by enamel was calculated based on the amount of fluoride divided by the area of the enamel cores and expressed as microgram per square centimeter (μg/cm^2).
|
Baseline to 14 days
|
Change in Saliva Fluoride Concentration From Baseline (Pre-treatment) to Day 14
Time Frame: Baseline to Day14
|
Fluoride concentration in saliva was measured after collecting saliva samples at the following time points: - at Day 1 baseline prior to supervised treatment.
- at day 1 post supervised treatment at site. - at Day 14 post treatment.
The amount of fluoride in the samples was calculated based on the amount of fluoride divided by the volume of the sample and expressed as μg/mL of sample.
|
Baseline to Day14
|
Change in Saliva Fluoride Concentration From Baseline (Post-treatment) to Day 14
Time Frame: Baseline up to Day 14
|
Fluoride concentration in saliva was measured after collecting saliva samples at the following time points: - at Day 1 post supervised treatment at site. - at Day 14 post treatment.
The amount of fluoride in the samples was calculated based on the amount of fluoride divided by the volume of the sample and expressed as μg/mL of sample.
