Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effectiveness of Customized Handle Toothbrush (NCT NCT04845633)

NCT ID: NCT04845633

Last Updated: 2021-08-12

Results Overview

Plaque scores will be assessed with Turesky Modification of the Quigley-Hein Plaque Index (TMQHPI). Plaque will be detected using plaque disclosing agent. In this index the plaque is evaluated and revealed on the buccal and lingual non-restored surfaces of the teeth on a scale of 0 to 5. Where 0 means no plaque presence which is considered as a perfect state, 1 separated flecks of plaque at the cervical margin, 2 a thin continuous back of plaque (up to 1 mm) at the cervical margin, 3 a band of plaque wider than 1 mm but covering less than one-third of the side of the crown of the tooth, 4 plaque covering at least one-third but less than two-thirds of the side of crown of the tooth and finally 5 is considered as the worst state by plaque covering two-thirds or more of the side of the crown of the tooth. All teeth are assessed. The final outcome is determined by an index of the entire mouth by dividing the total score by the number of surfaces examined.
