Official title
A Clinical Study Evaluating the Efficacy of an Interdental Brush Versus Comparators in Adults With Periodontal Disease.
Overview
The aim of this exploratory study is to evaluate the efficacy of the tested interdental brush versus comparative interdental brushes in adults with periodontal disease, over a 4-week period.
Detailed description
This study will take place at a single center as an intra-individual, split mouth, randomized, comparative study to evaluate the efficacy of the tested interdental brushes versus the comparative interdental brushes in adults with periodontal disease, over a 4-week period.
3 visits are planned:
* Visit 0: Pre-inclusion (Day -21 to Day 1): Information of the study given to subject, checking eligibility criteria orally * Visit 1: Inclusion visit (Day 1): Randomization and Start of interdental brushes use (tested and comparative on each split-mouth) * Visit 2: End of study (Day 29 +/-7 days , i.e. 1 month after inclusion)
Interventions
- Other Test interdental brush
Interdental brush to be used twice a day during the whole study. - Other Comparative interdental brush
Interdental brush to be used twice a day during the whole study.
Primary outcome measures
- Effect on dental plaque [Time frame: Change from Visit 1 (Day 1) to Visit 2 (Day 29).]
- Effect on gingival bleeding [Time frame: Change from Visit 1 (Day 1) to Visit 2 (Day 29).]
- Effect on pocket depth [Time frame: Change from Visit 1 (Day 1) to Visit 2 (Day 29).]
- Interdental hygiene assessment by subject [Time frame: Visit 2 (Day 29).]
- Adverse events recording [Time frame: From Visit 1 (Day 1) to Visit 2 (Day 29)]
- Acceptability Questionnaire assessment [Time frame: Visit 2 (Day 29)]
