- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Lobene Stain Index of Stain Composite Scores 4 Weeks After Dentifrice Use 4 weeks after toothbrush use A composite score is calculated for each subject by averaging the product of the intensity and extent scores.
Lobene Stain Index of Stain Area Scores 4 Weeks After Dentifrice Use 4 weeks after toothbrush use Tooth stain of the anterior teeth were measured using the Lobene Stain Index. The index measures the area and intensity of extrinsic tooth stain on the facial and lingual surfaces of the lower anterior teeth and facial surfaces of the upper anterior teeth. The tooth surfaces were divided into two parts: body and gingival. For each part, the stain area were assessed using 0-3 scale. 0= No stain detected; 1= stain covering up to 1/3 of the region; 2= Stain covering \>1/3 to 2/3 of the region; 3=Stain covering \>2/3 of the region.
Lobene Stain Index of Stain Extent Scores 4 Weeks After Toothbrush Use 4 weeks after toothbrush use Tooth stain of the anterior teeth were measured using the Lobene Stain Index. The index measures the area and intensity of extrinsic tooth stain on the facial and lingual surfaces of the lower anterior teeth and facial surfaces of the upper anterior teeth. The tooth surfaces were divided into two parts: body and gingival. For each part, the stain intensity was assessed using 0-3 scale. 0= No stain; 1=Light stain(yellow to light brown or gray); 2=Moderate stain(medium brown); 3=Heavy stain(dark brown to black).
Lobene Stain Index of Stain Extent Scores 8 Weeks After Toothbrush Use 8 weeks after toothbrush use Tooth stain of the anterior teeth were measured using the Lobene Stain Index. The index measures the area and intensity of extrinsic tooth stain on the facial and lingual surfaces of the lower anterior teeth and facial surfaces of the upper anterior teeth. The tooth surfaces were divided into two parts: body and gingival. For each part, the stain intensity was assessed using 0-3 scale. 0= No stain; 1=Light stain(yellow to light brown or gray); 2=Moderate stain(medium brown); 3=Heavy stain(dark brown to black).
