The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a new Oral-B manual toothbrush (Cross Action small brush head design) verus a control group (Oral-B Indicator 30 soft) in the reduction of dental plaque among a general adult population using the Turesky Modified Quigley-Hein Index (TQHPI).
Product Usage
Acclimation:
Subjects were instructed to brush their teeth at home twice daily (morning and evening) in their customary manner using the assigned provided test toothbrush and their regular toothpaste for approximately one week prior to their on-site visits.
Periods 1-4
Subjects were instructed to brush their teeth as they normally do with the assigned manual brush. The marketed dentifrice was dispensed by site personnel on a tongue depressor. Subjects brushed their teeth without access to a mirror. Brushing time was recorded in a discrete manner by site staff.
Study Design
This was a single-brushing, 2-treatment, examiner-blind, randomized, 4 period, crossover design. Subjects used each of the two toothbrushes twice. 26 adult subjects were enrolled into the clinical trial based on study criteria. For familiarization purposes, subjects were given their assigned test toothbrush to use at home twice daily for approximately one week prior to each study period visit. Subjects were instructed to refrain from all oral hygiene procedures for approximately 24 hours prior to each of their appointment times. In addition, the subjects were instructed to refrain from eating, drinking, chewing gum or smoking (including smokeless tobacco) for 2 hours prior to their appointment time. Only small sips of water were permissible. Subjects were to refrain from sipping water 45 minutes prior to their scheduled visit.
