About this study

Official title: Clinical Efficacy in Reducing Established Dental Plaque and Gingivitis of a Toothpaste Containing 0.3% Triclosan, 2% Copolymer / Sodium Fluoride and a Manual Toothbrush as Compared to an Oral Hygiene Multi-component Regimen Encompassing the Use of a Manual Toothbrush, a Toothpaste Containing Stannous Fluoride / Sodium Hexametaphosphate and a Mouthwash Containing 0.07% Cetylpyridinium Chloride

The objective of this clinical research study is to assess the efficacy of a commercially available triclosan/copolymer toothpaste compared to a commercially available oral hygiene multi-component regimen encompassing the use of a manual toothbrush, a toothpaste containing stannous fluoride / sodium hexametaphosphate and a mouthwash containing cetylpyridinium chloride relative to a negative control regimen in reducing established dental plaque and gingivitis over three and six months of assigned product use.

Conditions: Dental Plaque, Gingivitis
Being tested: Triclosan/fluoride toothpaste, stannous fluoride toothpaste, fluoride only toothpaste, Cetylpyridinium chloride mouthwash, Fluoride only mouthwash
Medical subject headings: Dental Plaque, Gingivitis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Mar 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Dental Plaque Scores (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02366689.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Mar 2016.
