Evaluation of Two Different Toothpastes for Clinical Management of Extrinsic Stains.

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Change in BOP - Bleeding on Probing (percentage)

  Site-specific assessment of the presence or absence of gum bleeding after the insertion of the periodontal probe for the detection of PPD, detected on 6 sites. Percentage of sites with bleeding on probing determines the BOP%.

  Baseline, 10 days, 1 month, 3 months

• Change in MLI - Modified Lobene Index

  The facial surface of each anterior tooth was divided into two regions. The first is the gingival region which was a crescent-shaped band of the labial surface about 2 mm wide adjacent to the free margin of the gingiva and extending to the crest of the interdental papillae of the adjacent teeth. The second is the body region which constitutes the remainder of the labial surface of the tooth. The gingival and body regions were scored separately. Intensity - Scoring criteria: * 0: no stain; * 1: mild stain, from yellow to light brown or gray; * 2: mild stain, brown colored; * 3: heavy stain, from dark brown to black. Area - Scoring criteria: * 0: no stain; * 1: 1/3 extension of the stain; * 2: from 1/3 to 2/3 extension of the stain; * 3: stain covering over two-thirds of the region. stain extent.

• Change in Plaque Control Record (PCR%)

  % assessment of the amount of plaque on dental surfaces; it is detected on 4 surfaces: distal, mesial, vestibular, lingual / palatal. The number of sites with plaque is divided by the total number of sites available in the mouth and multiplied by 100. Results indicate the index as a percentage.Scoring criteria: * 0: no bleeding * 1: mild bleeding * 2: severe bleeding The number of bleeding sites is divided per the total number of probed sites; the ratio is multiplied X 100.
