0.2% w/v Chlorhexidine digluconateDrug
Participants will brush their teeth with the reference product (toothpaste) and thoroughly rinse their mouth with water and wait 5 timed minutes before using 10 ml of the 0.2% w/v Chlorhexidine digluconate mouthwash, except when using at site, where no brushing will take place prior to using the mouthrinse.
Sodium fluoride toothpaste (Aquafresh Mild & Minty)Drug
Participants will apply a strip of toothpaste to cover the head of the toothbrush and will brush in their usual manner for two timed minutes twice daily. They will then rinse their mouth thoroughly with water after brushing
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Test product | Experimental | Mouthwash containing 0.2% w/v Chlorhexidine digluconate Receives: Drug: 0.2% w/v Chlorhexidine digluconate; Drug: Sodium fluoride toothpaste (Aquafresh Mild & Minty) |
| Control | Placebo comparator | Sodium fluoride toothpaste (Aquafresh Mild \& Minty) Receives: Drug: Sodium fluoride toothpaste (Aquafresh Mild & Minty) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Total Number of Detectable Plaque Bacteria Sampled 3 Days Post Implant Surgery
The examiner identified three plaque sampling sites as follows: surgical site, contralateral site to the surgical site and tongue. An individual cotton swab was used at each identified site for up to 20 seconds in order to harvest a plaque sample and immediately be placed into 1mL phosphate buffered saline in a sterile Eppendorf tube. The samples were analysed using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) which determined the total number of bacteria in a sample by quantifying the number of 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) genes in the sample. The number of bacteria in each of the three identified plaque sampling sites (surgical site, contralateral site to the surgical site and tongue) for each participant were summed to calculate the total number of bacteria for each participant.
Measured: At Day 3
Secondary outcomes (3)
Total Number of Detectable Plaque Bacteria Sampled at Implant Surgery (at Pre-rinse, Pre, Mid and Post Implant Surgery) and Post Implant Surgery (at Day 1 and 7)
The examiner identified three plaque sampling sites as follows: surgical site, contralateral site to the surgical site and tongue. An individual cotton swab was used at each identified site for up to 20 seconds in order to harvest a plaque sample and immediately be placed into 1mL phosphate buffered saline in a sterile Eppendorf tube. The samples were analysed using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) which determined the total number of bacteria in a sample by quantifying the number of 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) genes in the sample.
Measured: At Day 0 (pre-rinse, pre, mid and post implant surgery), Day 1 and 7
Area Under the Curve (AUC) for the Total Number of Plaque Bacteria in the Mouth Post Implant Surgery
The examiner identified three plaque sampling sites as follows: surgical site, contralateral site to the surgical site and tongue. An individual cotton swab was used at each identified site for up to 20 seconds in order to harvest a plaque sample and immediately be placed into 1mL phosphate buffered saline in a sterile Eppendorf tube. The samples were analysed using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) which determined the total number of bacteria in a sample by quantifying the number of 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) genes in the sample. The AUC of the total count of detectable plaque bacteria was calculated using trapezoidal rule in the time range from immediately post implant surgery to 7 days post implant surgery
Measured: Up to 7 days post implant surgery
Total Number of Recoverable Viable Bacteria in the Aerosol Generated During Dental Prophylaxis
Thick settle blood agar plates (supplemented with 5% [volume by volume v/v]) defibrinated horse blood) were used to determine the bacterial load of the aerosol. Thirty (30) minutes prior to the participants had their procedure (dental prophylaxis), a total of 5 settle plates with lids removed were placed at set positions around the dental surgery. After 30 minutes, the settle plates lids were replaced. This was repeated during the dental prophylaxis procedure using 5 fresh settle plates. All plates were then sealed with parafilm and transported for incubation in an anaerobic chamber at 37°C for 3 days. The plates were inspected daily to access growth and after 3 days removed and stored at 4°C for subsequent colony enumeration and Colony Forming Unit/mL (CFU/mL) calculation
Measured: At Baseline

Primary outcome
Total Number of Detectable Plaque Bacteria Sampled 3 Days Post Implant Surgery
Time frame: At Day 3
The examiner identified three plaque sampling sites as follows: surgical site, contralateral site to the surgical site and tongue. An individual cotton swab was used at each identified site for up to 20 seconds in order to harvest a plaque sample and immediately be placed into 1mL phosphate buffered saline in a sterile Eppendorf tube. The samples were analysed using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) which determined the total number of bacteria in a sample by quantifying the number of 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) genes in the sample. The number of bacteria in each of the three identified plaque sampling sites (surgical site, contralateral site to the surgical site and tongue) for each participant were summed to calculate the total number of bacteria for each participant.
