About this trial

This is a double-blind, randomized, control-arm clinical study to evaluate safety and efficacy of test water flosser in enhancing oral health among healthy adults having plaque-induced gingivitis and dental plaque accumulation.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age: 18 to 65 years (both inclusive) old at the time of consent.

Sex: Healthy adult males and non-pregnant/non-lactating females.

Females of childbearing potential have a self-reported negative urine pregnancy test at the time of the screening visit and agree to follow an accepted method of birth control for the duration of the study such as condoms, foams, jellies, diaphragm, intrauterine device etc.

Subjects are generally in good general health as determined from recent medical history.

Disqualifiers

Subjects who are undergoing treatment for gingivitis, caries, dental plaque and sensitivity.

Subjects are present with fixed orthodontic appliances on the facial surfaces of the maxillary arch.

Subjects have dental crowns, veneers or composite restorations on gradable maxillary anterior teeth (canine to canine) or mandibular anterior teeth.

Subjects have any oral pathologies or gross neglect of home care requiring prompt treatment, including periodontal disease, as evidenced by purulent exudate, tooth mobility, and/or other signs indicating that the integrity of the data collected for that subject might be compromised.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

To assess the effectiveness of the test product in terms of change in plaque deposition

By using Turesky Modification of the Quigley-Hein Index by Dentist or Dentist trained evaluator.

Time frame
Before and after usage of test product at T30 mins on Day 01, Day 15 (±2 days), and Day 30 (±2 days)
2

To assess the effectiveness of the test product in terms of change in plaque induced gingivitis

By using Loe \& Silness Gingival Index by Dentist or Dentist trained evaluator.

Time frame
Before and after usage of test product at T30 mins on Day 01, Day 15 (±2 days), and Day 30 (±2 days)

Secondary outcomes

1

To assess the improvement in product perception questionnaire

Quality of life questionnaire through 5-point Likert scale to evaluate the changes in plaque formation

Time frame
Baseline prior to usage of test product and on Day 01, Day 15 (±2 days), and Day 30 (±2 days)

Other outcomes

1

Safety assessment by examined of oral soft tissues (tongue, hard and soft palate, gingivae, mucobuccal folds, inner cheeks, sublingual areas) and hard tissues, including dental restorations.

Safety will be assessed by a dentist or dentist-trained evaluator. Findings will be categorized as normal or abnormal and analyzed using an appropriate nonparametric test.
