Brief Summary

Title of Study: Clinical evaluation of oral health parameters amongst adult subjects. Investigator: Dr. K.V.V. Prasad Objectives: This study with adult subjects will evaluate clinical parameters of dental plaque, gingivitis and periodontal disease amongst adults in conjunction with analysis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Methodology: Prospective subjects will be screened and qualified adults enrolled following a clinical examination. All subjects will be assigned a commercially available fluoride toothpaste and soft-bristled toothbrush for twice daily oral hygiene for the study duration. Subjects will return to the dental clinic for clinical evaluations after 7 and 14 days of use of provided articles. No test products will be provided to subjects.

No test products will be provided to subjects. Diagnosis and main criteria for inclusion: Eligible patients include subjects 18 to 70 years of age, in relatively good health. All subjects must be capable of understanding and providing written voluntary consent. Investigational product, dose and mode of administration: Washout Products w/ PLM Numbers: Dentifrice formulation containing MFP (Colgate Cavity Protection, Great Regular Flavor). PIM#: 427679. Duration of treatment: Enrolled subjects will be instructed to discontinue all other oral hygiene formulations and use the provided commercially available fluoride toothpaste for twice daily oral hygiene for a period of 14 days.
