Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To determine the efficacy of Listerine®Advanced Defence Gum Treatment (a mouthwash classified as Class IIa medical device already on the market in the EU) on whole-mouth mean gingival bleeding index (BI) scores as an adjunct to brushing through four week of use and to determine whether its performance is comparable to that of an established gingivitis treatment (i.e. Corsodyl® Mint Mouthwash).;Secondary Objective: To determine the efficacy of a LAE-containing mouth rinse on wholemouth mean modified gingival index (MGI) and plaque index (PI) scores as an adjunct to brushing through one week, two weeks and four weeks of use. To determine the efficacy of a LAE-containing mouth rinse on whole mouth mean bleeding index (BI) score as an adjunct to brushing through one week and two weeks of use. To determine the effect of a LAE-containing mouth rinse as an adjunct to brushing on extrinsic staining assessment at two and four weeks.;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy variable is the whole-mouth mean Bleeding Index (BI) at four weeks;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline and 4 weeks after treatment | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1.Whole mouth mean modified gingival index (MGI) and plaque index (PI) 2.Whole-mouth mean bleeding index (BI) 3.Extrinsic stain assessment at two and four weeks;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1.Whole mouth mean PI and MGI measured at one week, two weeks and four weeks. 2.BI at one and two weeks. 3.Extrinsic stain assessment at two and four weeks. | — |
