Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1) Participants having good general health as determined by the Investigator on the basis of medical history and vital signs. 2) Participants with mild to severe gingivitis (Gingival index of 1 3). 3) Participants with Periodontal pocket depth less than or equal to 3 mm. 4) Participants with at least 20 permanent natural teeth with buccal & lingual scorable surfaces. 5) Participants having slight to strong oral malodor / bad breath (2 to 4) associated with periodontal disease as determined by Organoleptic Scoring Scale.
