NCT03750955

Brief Summary

Using an experimental, non-invasive intra-oral imaging device, this study evaluates the effects on the gingival tissue when oral hygiene is stopped in a section of the mouth for two weeks and gingivitis develops. The effects on the gingival tissue continues to be evaluated as oral hygiene is resumed and the gingival tissue returns to health.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change From Baseline Gingivitis at Day 14 as Measured by Non-invasive Microimaging and Gingival Index.

    The predictive validity of a non-invasive microimaging technique for assessing experimental gingivitis (plaque induced), as compared with gingival index is not reported. The microimaging technique was used to measure changes in the gingival thickness of the inter-dental tooth area. This area measured did not represent the clinical status of the tissue surrounding the tooth. The gingival index is reported. Loe and Silness Gingival Index (GI); scale: 0 = normal gingiva, 1 = mild inflammation, 2 = moderate inflammation, 3 = severe inflammation

    Baseline to Day 14

  • Change From Day 14 Gingivitis at Day 28 as Measured by Non-invasive Microimaging and Gingival Index.

Study Arms (2)

Plaque induced gingivitis

EXPERIMENTAL

Non-invasive microimaging (OTC device) of gingival tissue where plaque induced gingivitis results from a cessation of oral hygiene in a sextant using a stent-induced biofilm overgrowth model.

Device: Plaque induced gingivitis

Oral hygiene maintenance

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Non-invasive microimaging (OTC device) of gingival tissue where oral hygiene (tooth brushing with fluoride toothpaste and flossing twice daily) is maintained.

Device: Oral hygiene maintenance

Interventions

Non-invasive microimaging (OTC device) of gingival tissue where oral hygiene cessation utilizing localized stent-induced biofilm overgrowth model (SIBO), will manipulate the participants' oral environment by leading to reversible inflammation of the gingival tissues.

Also known as: Cessation of oral hygiene
Plaque induced gingivitis

Non-invasive microimaging (OTC device) of gingival tissue where oral hygiene has been maintained by tooth brushing with fluoride toothpaste and flossing twice daily.

Oral hygiene maintenance
