An Exploratory, Randomized, Single Center, Partial Crossover, Clinical Study to Evaluate the Dental Plaque Removal Ability of a Prototype Power Toothbrush Versus a Manual Toothbrush After a Single Tooth Brushing Event
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Reference MTB, Reference PTB, and 2 other interventions for Dental Plaque. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the ability of a prototype power toothbrush (PTB) versus a manual toothbrush in healthy, right-handed manual toothbrush (MTB) participants with no signs of periodontal disease or excessive recession to remove dental plaque after a single tooth brushing event. Prior to each treatment visit, participants will abstain from oral hygiene for a period of 12 hours preceding a pre-brushing dental plaque evaluation. Participants will then brush once under supervision for 2 minutes in 'Gum line' mode and 1-minute in 'Interdental' mode after which re-disclosing and a post-brushing plaque assessment will be carried out.
