Detaljerad beskrivning
This is a single center, two-treatment, parallel design study. Up to 40 subjects will be enrolled with a full mandibular and full maxillary denture with a history of food related abrasions.
At each visit, an Oral Soft Tissue exam, a Mucosa Condition Assessment and a Gum Abrasion Evaluation will be performed. At Baseline, the subjects will be randomized to a treatment group. At Baseline, Week 2, and Week 4 subjects will be asked to eat 20 grams of peanuts 4 times for a total consumption of 80 g of peanuts (subjects will be permitted to take breaks if needed and drink small sips of water). Following the peanut challenge, a licensed dental professional will re-evaluate the number and size of abrasions. Subjects will receive a consumer questionnaire to complete as well prior to the Baseline, Week 2, and Week 4 assessments.

Mucosal Assessment
Tidsram: Day 3
|
The mucosal region under the denture was assessed with one score per arch (two total arches) each arch is scored ranging from 0(better) - 3(worse). The scores are then summed for a total score. The scale is measured as follows: 0 = pink firm tissue absent of redness and inflammation; 1 = mild redness or inflammation - slight change in color and little change in texture; 2 = moderate redness and/or inflammation - moderate glazing, redness, edema and hypertrophy 3 = severe redness and/or inflammation - marked redness and hypertrophy. |
