Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Bacterial count reduction in saliva after a single application of OML in comparison to placebo applicationAfter 1 minute of rinsing

Bacterial count reduction is measured at V1 (Verum/Placebo) and V3 (Placebo/Verum) in a blinded cross-over design

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean plaque index (PI)After 5 days of application

PI is measured at V2 (Verum/Placebo) and V4 (Placebo/Verum) in a blinded cross-over design

Change in mean gingival index (GI)After 5 days of application

GI is measured at V1/V2 (Verum/Placebo) and V3/V4 (Placebo/Verum) in a blinded cross-over design

Evaluation of taste and flavour (questionnaire)After 5 days of application
AEs and SAEs4 weeks
