Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Extrinsic Stains

    Extrinsic Stains will be evaluated using the validated Lobene Stain Index (LSI) Stain Intensity score range is between 0 and 3, where: 0 = no stain 1. = light stain 2. = moderate stain 3. = heavy stain The mean stain intensity will be calculated for both the gingival and body regions of the incisor teeth for each subject. Stain Area score rage is between 0 and 3, where: 0 = no stain 1. = stain covering up to one third of region 2. = stain covering up to two thirds of region 3. = stain covering more than two thirds of region The mean stain area will be calculated for both the gingival and body regions of the incisor teeth for each subject.
