Summary:

      The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of usage of a range of oral
      products (toothpaste, mouth rinse, denture cleanser) on the oral health of partial denture
      wearers compared to existing oral hygiene habits.The hypothesis is that there is no treatment
      difference in the oral health when using the range of products for 12 weeks compared to no
      intervention.
    

Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Participant provision of a signed and dated informed consent document indicating that
             the participant has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study before any
             assessment is performed.

          -  A participant who is willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan,
             and other study procedures.

          -  A participant with good general and mental health with, in the opinion of the
             investigator or medically qualified designee no clinically significant or relevant
             abnormalities in medical history or upon oral examination, or a condition, that would
             impact the participant's safety, well being or the outcome of the study, if they were
             to participate in the study.

          -  A participant who is a cell phone owner with text messaging capabilities.

          -  Dental Criteria:

               1. A participant with a minimum of 4 natural teeth in each arch.

               2. A participant with a minimum of 30 scorable surfaces for MGI (Modified Gingival
                  Index), BI (Bleeding Index), OHI (oral hygiene index) and TPI (Turesky Plaque
                  Index). (A scorable surface is defined as a surface that has at least 2/3 of the
                  surface gradable for each clinical index. Third molars, orthodontically
                  banded/bonded, fully crowned or extensively restored or grossly carious teeth are
                  not included in the tooth or scorable surface count. Third molars can be included
                  if, as a result tooth loss, they are functioning as second molars. Tooth surfaces
                  with calculus deposits which, in the opinion of the clinical examiner, would
                  interfere with the assessments of the selected clinical indices are also
                  excluded.)

               3. A participant with a minimum of 2 scorable abutment teeth, defined as teeth
                  proximal to the RPD (removable partial denture) or impinged by an RPD clasp or
                  rest.

               4. A participant with generalized mild-moderate plaque-induced gingivitis present at
                  the screening visit (in the opinion of the clinical examiner from a gross visual

                  (less than or equal to) 1.3, a mean whole mouth MGI >= 1.75 to =< 2.30 and a mean
                  overall TPI score > (greater than) 1.5 at the Baseline visit.

                  constructed of acrylic or cobalt chrome which is acceptable according to the well
                  made and well-fit assessments.
