Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Male and female subjects, ages 30-70. * Availability for the six-month duration of the clinical research study. * Good general health. * Subjects who have lost teeth for periodontal disease reasons and who have been restored with implants. * Minimum of 5 remaining teeth and a minimum of 2 implants. * Initial evaluation of the gingival and peri-implant mucosal tissues by determining full mouth bleeding on probing. * Initial plaque evaluation by determining full mouth presence/absence of plaque. * Signed Informed Consent Form.
Exclusion criteria
* Tumor(s) of the soft or hard tissues of the oral cavity. * Untreated periodontal disease (purulent exudate, tooth mobility, and/or extensive loss or periodontal attachment or alveolar bone). * Carious lesions requiring immediate restorative treatment. * Uncontrolled Diabetes * Use of antibiotics any time during the one month prior to entry into the study. * Untreated peri-implantitis. * Participation in any other clinical research study or test panel within the three months prior to entry into the study. * Pregnant women or women who are breast feeding. * History of allergies to personal care/consumer products or their ingredients. * Medical condition which prohibits not eating/drinking for up to 2 hours. * Current alcohol or drug abuse. * Systemic or local disease conditions that would compromise post-operative healing. * Regular use of anti-inflammatory drugs.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Bleeding on Probing | 6 months | Percentage of Bleeding Scale: The bleeding sites are identified by either a 0 or 1. (0=no bleeding & 1= bleeding) The number of spots between teeth that bleed are divided by number of spots between teeth that are scored. |
| Mean Pocket Depth | 6 Months | Measurement scale: 0 millimeter measurement= no pocket depth. 3, 4, 5, & 6 millimeter are indications of deeper Pocket depth. |
| Mean Percentage of Plaque Scores | 6 Months | Mean Percentage (%) of dental plaque on all tooth surfaces, including implants and natural teeth. Plaque Scale is 0=no plaque and 1= dental plaque present. Percentage is derived from sum of all plaque scores divided by the number of tooth surfaces scored. |

Outcome results
Bleeding on Probing
Percentage of Bleeding Scale: The bleeding sites are identified by either a 0 or 1. (0=no bleeding & 1= bleeding) The number of spots between teeth that bleed are divided by number of spots between teeth that are scored.
Time frame: 6 months
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Toothpaste | Bleeding on Probing | 53.8 Percentage of bleeding sites | Standard Deviation 17.6 |
| Ultrabrite Toothpaste | Bleeding on Probing | 52.3 Percentage of bleeding sites | Standard Deviation 24.6 |
Mean Percentage of Plaque Scores
Mean Percentage (%) of dental plaque on all tooth surfaces, including implants and natural teeth. Plaque Scale is 0=no plaque and 1= dental plaque present. Percentage is derived from sum of all plaque scores divided by the number of tooth surfaces scored.
Time frame: 6 Months
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Toothpaste | Mean Percentage of Plaque Scores | 13.2 percentage of dental plaque | Standard Deviation 15.6 |
| Ultrabrite Toothpaste | Mean Percentage of Plaque Scores | 16.0 percentage of dental plaque | Standard Deviation 17.8 |
Mean Pocket Depth
Measurement scale: 0 millimeter measurement= no pocket depth. 3, 4, 5, & 6 millimeter are indications of deeper Pocket depth.
Time frame: 6 Months
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Toothpaste | Mean Pocket Depth | 4.4 Millimeters | Standard Deviation 0.6 |
| Ultrabrite Toothpaste | Mean Pocket Depth | 4.5 Millimeters | Standard Deviation 0.5 |
