About this study
Official title: The Clinical Investigation of a New Toothpaste Containing SnF as Compared to Colgate Fluoride Toothpaste in Reducing Plaque and Gingivitis - a Six-month Study in China
The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a new toothpaste containing stannous fluoride (SnF) as compared to Colgate Fluoride Toothpaste in reducing gingivitis and dental plaque.
Read the detailed description
This is a 6 month, take home, tooth brushing research study to evaluate a new toothpaste.
Qualified subjects will be enrolled and randomized to either one of the two study groups based on their initial Plaque and Gingivitis scores. Subjects will be instructed to use the products according to the instructions provided. Subjects will return to the dental office for evaluation after three and six months of product use. All subjects will be followed for adverse events throughout the study.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Dental Plaque Scores
Quigley-Hein, Turesky Modification Index. Units on a scale 0 to 5 (0 = no plaque, 1 = separate flecks of plaque on the tooth, 2 = a thin continuous band of plaque, 3 = a band of plaque up to one-third of the tooth, 4 = plaque covering up to two thirds of the of the tooth, 5 = plaque covering two-thirds or more of the crown of the tooth)
Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing MFP Fluoride toothpaste and Stannous fluoride toothpaste in people with Dental Plaque and Gingivitis, run by Colgate Palmolive at 1 site in China.
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 22 Feb 2019. 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 China. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
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 22 Feb 2019.
