Conditions: Gingivitis
Allocation: RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: PARALLEL
Enrollment: 159
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
The purpose of this clinical study is to investigate the efficacy of a dentifrice containing 0.454 percent (%) weight by weight (w/w) stannous fluoride (SnF2), on gingivitis treatment and plaque reduction, compared to a regular fluoride dentifrice after 12 weeks twice daily brushing in a population of clinically diagnosed gingivitis without undergoing dental prophylaxis.

Detailed description:
This will be a single center, randomized, controlled, single blind (examiner blind), two-treatment arm, parallel study. Study participants will be over 18 years old, non-smokers, in good general health with clinically measurable levels of gingivitis that meet all study criteria at the Screening and Baseline visits. Approximately 160 participants (approximately 80 per group) will be randomized to ensure approximately 144 evaluable participants (approximately 72 per group) complete the study.

Arms:
arm 1: Participants will be instructed to brush their teeth with full ribbon of toothpaste (0.454% w/w SnF2) on head of toothbrush provided for at least one (timed) minute twice a day (morning and evening) for 12 weeks. arm 2: Participants will be instructed to brush their teeth with full ribbon of toothpaste (0.243% w/w Sodium fluoride) on head of toothbrush provided for at least one (timed) minute twice a day (morning and evening) for 12 weeks.

Interventions: intervention 1: Stannous fluoride toothpaste intervention 2: Sodium fluoride toothpaste
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: 0.454% w/w SnF2 intervention 2: 0.243% w/w Sodium fluoride
