Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Metabolite Associated With Inflammation (Cadaverine)6 weeks

One of 10 inflammation biomarkers found in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) that are associated with inflammation that could lead to gingivitis. The number is a quantitative, normalized ion count from a mass spectral instrument. The lower the number the less inflammation may be present. Data is after 6 weeks use of the study treatment.

Metabolite Associated With Inflammation (Choline)6 weeks

One of 10 inflammation biomarkers found in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) that are associated with inflammation that could lead to gingivitis. The number is a quantitative, normalized ion count from a mass spectral instrument. The lower the number the less inflammation may be present. Data is after 6 weeks use of the study treatment.

Metabolite Associated With Inflammation (Hypoxanthine)6 weeks

One of 10 inflammation biomarkers found in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) that are associated with inflammation that could lead to gingivitis. The number is a quantitative, normalized ion count from a mass spectral instrument. The lower the number the less inflammation may be present. Data is after 6 weeks use of the study treatment.

Metabolite Associated With Inflammation (Inosine)6 weeks

One of 10 inflammation biomarkers found in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) that are associated with inflammation that could lead to gingivitis. The number is a quantitative, normalized ion count from a mass spectral instrument. The lower the number the less inflammation may be present. Data is after 6 weeks use of the study treatment.

Metabolite Associated With Inflammation (Isoleucine)6 weeks

One of 10 inflammation biomarkers found in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) that are associated with inflammation that could lead to gingivitis. The number is a quantitative, normalized ion count from a mass spectral instrument. The lower the number the less inflammation may be present. Data is after 6 weeks use of the study treatment.

Metabolite Associated With Inflammation (Leucine)6 weeks

One of 10 inflammation biomarkers found in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) that are associated with inflammation that could lead to gingivitis. The number is a quantitative, normalized ion count from a mass spectral instrument. The lower the number the less inflammation may be present. Data is after 6 weeks use of the study treatment.

Metabolite Associated With Inflammation (Lysine)6 weeks

One of 10 inflammation biomarkers found in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) that are associated with inflammation that could lead to gingivitis. The number is a quantitative, normalized ion count from a mass spectral instrument. The lower the number the less inflammation may be present. Data is after 6 weeks use of the study treatment.

Metabolite Associated With Inflammation (Phenylalanine)6 weeks

One of 10 inflammation biomarkers found in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) that are associated with inflammation that could lead to gingivitis. The number is a quantitative, normalized ion count from a mass spectral instrument. The lower the number the less inflammation may be present. Data is after 6 weeks use of the study treatment.

Metabolite Associated With Inflammation (Putrescine)6 weeks

One of 10 inflammation biomarkers found in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) that are associated with inflammation that could lead to gingivitis. The number is a quantitative, normalized ion count from a mass spectral instrument. The lower the number the less inflammation may be present. Data is after 6 weeks use of the study treatment.

Metabolite Associated With Inflammation (Xanthine)6 weeks

One of 10 inflammation biomarkers found in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) that are associated with inflammation that could lead to gingivitis. The number is a quantitative, normalized ion count from a mass spectral instrument. The lower the number the less inflammation may be present.Data is after 6 weeks use of the study treatment.
