简要总结
In this three-month interventional clinical trial for the treatment of gingivitis the investigators will assess the use of an oscillating-rotating powered toothbrush in comparison to the use of a manual toothbrush over 12-weeks in the absence of interproximal hygiene.
详细描述
In this single-masked, parallel-armed, interventional clinical trial for treatment of gingivitis the investigators will assess the use of an oscillating-rotating powered toothbrush in comparison to the use of a manual toothbrush over 12-weeks in the absence of interproximal hygiene. The primary outcome variable is the change from baseline in the Modified Gingival Index at 2, 4 and 12-weeks from Baseline. Secondary outcome variables include change from baseline in bleeding on probing as well as change from baseline in the Turesky Modification of the Quigley-Hein Plaque index measuring overnight plaque formation. There will also be an assessment of single use efficacy in reduction of overnight plaque levels at the baseline visit t

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Gingivitis
时间窗: 12 weeks post-baseline
Baseline and 12 weeks post-baseline measures. Proportion of bleeding sites per patient was used as Full mouth BOP Score. The score for each site was either 1 for bleeding and 0 for no bleeding. Following is the full description of each outcome measure reported in the protocol. The Modified Gingival Index3 (MGI) will be measured on six sites - mesio-buccal, buccal, disto-buccal, mesio-lingual, lingual and disto-lingual - of all teeth using a 0-4 scale. Lower score no inflamation and higher severe inflammation. Dental plaque will be evaluated using the Lobene modification4 of the Turesky modification of the Quigley-Hein Plaque Index (PI)5. The score 0 to 5. Lower score means no plaque and higher score increasing plaque.Full-mouth Probing Pocket Depth (PPD) will be measured on the six locations of each tooth (mesial-buccal, buccal, distal-buccal, mesial-lingual, lingual, distal-lingual) using a periodontal probe.
