Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to reduce the mean of the dental biofilm deposited on the dental surfaces after 21 days, when compared to the initial plaque index (measured at time 0), by intervention groups that will use chemical agents such as mouthwashes.;The experimental oral rinse with vegetable oils, tested in Group 2 of intervention, is expected to reduce plaque in a quantity equal to or greater than the other chemical agents used in intervention groups 1 and 3.;The mouth rinses tested in intervention groups 1, 2 and 3 are expected to be able to further reduce the amount of bacterial plaque when compared to intervention group 4, which will not use chemical agents for plaque control. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that the evaluated products do not cause adverse effects on the sample during the study period, as well as that the experimental oral rinse with vegetable oils is well accepted and well tolerated by the research volunteers. | — |
