Registered outcomes7
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Change in Silness and Loe Plaque Index (PI) Score | Baseline (Day 0), Week 4 (Day 28), and Week 8 (Day 56) | valuation of dental plaque accumulation (thickness of bacterial biofilm at the gingival margin) measured across 4 tooth surfaces (buccal, lingual, mesial, distal) and averaged across examined teeth. Score ranges from 0 to 3 (0 = No plaque, 1 = Thin film detectable by probing, 2 = Moderate deposits visible to naked eye, 3 = Abundant heavy plaque buildup). Lower scores indicate better oral hygiene. |
| Primary | Change in Gingival Index (GI) Score by Loe and Silness | Baseline (Day 0), Week 4 (Day 28), and Week 8 (Day 56) | Assessment of gingival inflammation severity evaluated across 4 tooth surfaces based on color, consistency, and bleeding on gentle probing. Score ranges from 0 to 3 (0 = Normal gingiva with no inflammation, 1 = Mild inflammation with slight erythema and no bleeding, 2 = Moderate inflammation with redness and bleeding on probing, 3 = Severe inflammation with marked redness, edema, and tendency to spontaneous bleeding). Lower scores indicate reduced gingival inflammation. |
| Secondary | Change in Winkel Tongue Coating Index (WTCI) Score | Baseline (Day 0), Week 4 (Day 28), and Week 8 (Day 56) | Measurement of bacterial biofilm accumulation on the dorsum of the tongue across 6 zones (3 posterior, 3 anterior). Each zone is scored from 0 (no coating) to 2 (heavy thick coating with no pink tongue visible). Total score range is 0 to 12 (0 = no coating, 1-3 = mild, 4-6 = moderate, 7-9 = heavy, 10-12 = severe coating). Lower scores indicate reduced tongue biofilm accumulation. |
| Secondary | Change in Modified Lobene Stain Index (MLSI) Score | Baseline (Day 0), Week 4 (Day 28), and Week 8 (Day 56) | Evaluation of extrinsic tooth staining. Calculated per tooth as Stain Intensity (0 = no stain to 3 = heavy dark brown/black stain) multiplied by Stain Area (0 = no stain to 3 = \> 2/3 of surface covered). Total mean MLSI score ranges from 0 to 9 per tooth (0 = clean enamel, 0.1-1.0 = mild staining, 1.1-2.0 = moderate staining, 2.1-3.0+ = severe staining). Lower scores indicate less extrinsic discoloration. |
| Secondary | Change in Salivary pH Level | Baseline (Day 0), Week 4 (Day 28), and Week 8 (Day 56) | Measurement of oral cavity salivary pH using standardized pH paper indicator strips matched against a standardized color chart (range 1.0 to 14.0). |
| Secondary | Change in Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnare Total Score | Baseline (Day 0), Week 4 (Day 28), and Week 8 (Day 56) | Patient-reported questionnaire assessing oral health-related quality of life across 7 conceptual domains (functional limitation, physical pain, psychological discomfort, physical disability, psychological disability, social disability, handicap). 14 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale (0 = Never to 4 = Very Often). Total score ranges from 0 to 56, where higher scores indicate greater negative impact on oral health quality of life. |
| Secondary | Patient-Reported Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Scores and Satisfaction | Baseline (Day 0), Week 4 (Day 28), and Week 8 (Day 56) | Patient-reported ratings of dental sensitivity, soft tissue pain, and product satisfaction evaluated on a 0 to 10 Visual Analog Scale (0 = no symptoms / not satisfied, 10 = severe symptoms / very satisfied). |
