Efficacy of Manual Toothbrushes in Removing Dental Plaque

Randomized Controlled Examiner-Blind Methodology Development Study To Investigate The Plaque Removal Efficacy Of Manual Toothbrushes In Healthy Dentate Subjects

This clinical methodology development study will evaluate the plaque removal efficacy of four marketed manual toothbrushes, with differing bristle types and brush head designs, in healthy dentate participants. Changes in supra-gingival plaque accumulation will be assessed after first use and following 1-and 4-weeks treatment (twice-daily brushing), using two different clinical measures of dental plaque. Study participants will abstain from oral hygiene for a period of 12-18 hours prior to each assessment visit. Data generated will inform the design of future clinical studies investigating the plaque removal efficacy of manual toothbrushes.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Oral Hygiene; Dental Plaque
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Oral B Indicator 123; Other: Dr Best Original; Other: Dr Best Multi Expert; Other: parodontax Interdental

Detailed Description

This will be a single center, 4-week, randomized, controlled, examiner-blind, four-treatment arm, parallel design, clinical methodology development study to investigate the plaque removal efficacy of marketed manual toothbrushes in healthy, dentate participants. Changes in plaque level will be evaluated after first brushing, after two further single brushing events (Days 7 and 28) and following 7 and 28 days usage (twice daily brushing with assigned toothbrush treatment).

Supra-gingival plaque levels will be assessed using two established clinical measures: the Rustogi Modified Navy Plaque Index (RPI) and the 6-site Turesky Modified Quigley and Hein Plaque Index (TPI). Participants will abstain from oral hygiene for a period of 12-18 hours prior to each assessment visit. Participants with Day 0 pre-brushing mean RPI overall ≥ 0.6 will be stratified by their Day 0 pre-brushing RPI score (lower: mean RPI overall ≥ 0.6 to ≤ 0.8; higher: mean RPI overall; 0.8 to 1.0) and randomized to study treatment (Visit 2).

To standardize oral hygiene practice, eligible participants will complete a lead-in period (minimum 5 days) prior to Visit 2 during which they will brush with the toothbrush and regular fluoride toothpaste provided.

The safety and oral tolerability of each study toothbrush will be monitored after first use and over the 28-day usage period by review of reported treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs).

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Change From Pre to Post Brushing in Overall Mean Rustogi Modified Navy Plaque Index (RPI) After a Single Brushing Event at Day 0	Supra-gingival plaque was assessed on the facial and lingual surfaces of the teeth (7-7 each arch) using RPI. Each tooth surface was divided into 9 zones, for a total of 18 sites per tooth (A to I facial with 9 sites and lingual with 9 sites separately); A to C along gingival margin; D to F directly above A to C (D and F being inter-proximal zones); G to H across middle of tooth; and I covered incisal area. Plaque was disclosed and presence or absence of plaque in each zone was recorded as per scoring criteria: 0-Plaque absent, 1-Plaque present; where lower score represents better result. An average score for a participant was generated by averaging across all sites and surfaces of all teeth assessed. Change from pre-brushing = (post-brushing score - pre-brushing score).

Plaque was assessed with each tooth being divided into 6 areas including mesiofacial, facial, distofacial, mesiolingual, lingual and distolingual surfaces and scored for each site on a scale of 0 to 5: 0-No plaque, 1-Slight flecks of plaque at cervical margin of tooth, 2-Thin, continuous band of plaque (1millimetre [mm] or smaller) at cervical margin of tooth, 3-Band of plaque wider than 1mm but covering less than 1/3 of area, 4-Plaque covering at least 1/3 but less than 2/3 of area, 5-Plaque covering 2/3 or more of crown of tooth; where lower score represents better result.
