Summary

This clinical methodology development study will evaluate the plaque removal efficacy of four marketed manual toothbrushes, with differing bristle types and brush head designs, in healthy dentate participants. Changes in supra-gingival plaque accumulation will be assessed after first use and following 1-and 4-weeks treatment (twice-daily brushing), using two different clinical measures of dental plaque. Study participants will abstain from oral hygiene for a period of 12-18 hours prior to each assessment visit. Data generated will inform the design of future clinical studies investigating the plaque removal efficacy of manual toothbrushes.
