|---|---|
| Main Objective: The objective of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of the Test and Reference products both containing 0.2%w/v of chlorhexidine digluconate using specific indices (Plaque Index, Gingival Index, Discoloration Index).;Secondary Objective: N/A;Primary end point(s): No significant difference between the test and reference group for plaque and gingival bleeding and for discoloration at the end of the study. The presence and quantity of plague will be recorded using the plaque index (PI) of Silness and Löe (0-3 rating). In the same surfaces and using the same rating (0-3) the gingival inflammation will be evaluated using the gingival index (GI) of Löe and Silness. Finally the discoloration index of dental tissues will be recorded (DI-Tilliss TSI et al). The index records discoloration both qualitatively (color intensity) and quantitatively (area-amount).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Whole study will be completed within approximately 10 weeks. | — |
