Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Mean Bleeding Index (BI) at Week 12
BI assesses the severity and number of bleeding points elicited on probing as a measure of gingival condition. To perform the assessment, a round-end probe (Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs [CPITN] probe is inserted approximately 1 millimeter [mm] into the gingival sulcus (at approximately 60 degrees) and moved around the tooth, from the distal interproximal area to the mesial interproximal area, gently stretching the gingival epithelium. Contact with the tooth surface will be avoided. Gingival bleeding is assessed 30 seconds after probing. Assessments will be performed one quadrant at a time; BI scores will be recorded before moving to the next quadrant. BI will be calculated as the mean score. The scoring system is 0=no bleeding, 1=bleeding within 30 seconds of probing, 2=bleeding immediately on probing). Sites with a score of 1 or 2 will be classified as 'bleeding' sites. Lower score indicates better results.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Mean Number of Bleeding Sites (NBS) at Week 6 and Week 12
Number of gingival bleeding sites will be measured as BI. BI assesses the severity and number of bleeding points elicited on probing as a measure of gingival condition. To perform the assessment, a round-end probe (for example, a CPITN probe is inserted approximately 1 mm into the gingival sulcus (at approximately 60 degrees) and moved around the tooth, from the distal interproximal area to the mesial interproximal area, gently stretching the gingival epithelium. Sites which shows signs of bleeding within 30 seconds of probing will be classified as a bleeding site. Assessments will be performed one quadrant at a time; BI scores will be recorded before moving to the next quadrant. The scoring system is 0=no bleeding, 1=bleeding within 30 seconds of probing, 2=bleeding immediately on probing. Sites with a score of 1 or 2 will be classified as 'bleeding' sites. Lower score indicates better results.
Mean Modified Gingival Index (MGI) at Week 6 and Week 12
The MGI will be assessed for the facial and lingual/palatal gingiva of all evaluable teeth, four sites per tooth (facial surface - papilla and margin; lingual/palatal surface - papilla and margin). MGI will be scored as: 0=Absence of inflammation, 1=Mild inflammation: slight change in color, little change in texture of any portion of the marginal or papillary gingival unit, 2=Mild inflammation: criteria as (1) but involving the entire marginal or papillary gingival unit, 3=Moderate inflammation: glazing, redness, edema, and/or hypertrophy of the marginal or papillary gingival unit, 4=Severe inflammation: marked redness, edema and/or hypertrophy of the marginal or papillary gingival unit, spontaneous bleeding, congestion, or ulceration. Lower scores indicate better results.
Mean Turesky Plaque Index (TPI) (overall and interproximal) at Week 6 and Week 12
Supra-gingival plaque will be assessed on the facial and lingual surfaces of the teeth using the TPI. Third molars can be included in the assessment if, as a result tooth loss, they are functioning as second molars and gradable for TPI. Each tooth surface is divided into 3 areas; three scores are recorded facially (mesiofacial, facial, distofacial) and three scores lingually (mesiolin-gual, lingual and distolingual) generating a total of six scores per tooth. The plaque will be disclosed and scored as: 0=No plaque, 1=Separate flecks of plaque at the cervical margin, 2=Thin continuous band of plaque (up to 1 mm) at the cervical margin, 3=Band of plaque wider than 1 mm but covering less than (<) 1/3 of the tooth surface, 4=Plaque covering greater than or equal to )>=) 1/3 but < 2/3 of the tooth surface, 5=Plaque covering >= 2/3 of the tooth surface. Lower scores indicate better results.
Mean BI at Week 6
BI assesses the severity and number of bleeding points elicited on probing as a measure of gingival condition. To perform the assessment, a round-end probe (CPITN probe is inserted approximately 1 mm into the gingival sulcus (at approximately 60 degrees) and moved around the tooth, from the distal interproximal area to the mesial interproximal area, gently stretching the gingival epithelium. Contact with the tooth surface will be avoided. Gingival bleeding is assessed 30 seconds after probing. Assessments will be performed one quadrant at a time; BI scores will be recorded before moving to the next quadrant. The scoring system is 0=no bleeding, 1=bleeding within 30 seconds of probing, 2=bleeding immediately on probing. Sites with a score of 1 or 2 will be classified as 'bleeding' sites. Lower score indicates better results.
Mean Partial Denture Cleanliness Index (PDCI)
The cleanliness of the partial denture will be evaluated based on the modification of the Clinical Categorization of Denture Cleanliness Index. A suitable dental probe will be used to gently scrape the surfaces of the RPD and the PDCI scored using the descriptors detailed below. All surfaces of the RPD should be assessed and the highest score applicable recorded. PDCI scoring system to be used is as follows: 0=No visible plaque; no matter adherent to the dental probe on light scraping, 1=No visible plaque; matter adherent to the dental probe on light scraping, 2=Deposits of plaque just visible on careful examination without need to confirm by scraping, 3=Deposits of plaque clearly visible, 4=Gross plaque deposits ("velvet appearance"). Lower score indicates better results.
Mean Calculus Index (CI) at Week 6 and Week 12
The extent of calculus on each tooth surface (buccal and lingual) will be determined by visual examination. Only definite deposits of hard calculus will be recorded. The CI will be assessed on the facial and lingual surfaces of each scorable tooth. The CI for each participant will be calculated as the mean score of all tooth surfaces (facial/lingual). CI scoring system to be used is as follows: 0=No calculus present, 1=Supragingival calculus covering not > 1/3 of exposed tooth surface, 2=Supragingival calculus covering > 1/3 but not > 2/3 of exposed tooth surface or presence of individual flecks of Subgingival calculus around cervical portion of tooth or both, 3= supragingival calculus covering > 2/3 of exposed tooth surface or a continuous band of Subgingival calculus around cervical portion of tooth or both. Lower score indicates better results.
Mean Oral Debris Index (ODI) at Week 6 and Week 12
The extent of oral debris on each tooth surface will be determined by running the side of a number 5 explorer (Shephard's crook) probe along the buccal, labial and lingual surfaces and noting the occlusal or incisal extent of the debris as it is removed from the tooth surface. The ODI will be assessed on the facial and lingual surfaces of each scorable tooth. The ODI for each participant shall be calculated as the mean score of all tooth surfaces (facial/lingual).ODI scoring system to be used is as follows: 0=No debris or stain present, 1=Soft debris covering not > 1/3 of the tooth surface the presence of extrinsic stains without other debris regardless of surface area covered, 2= Soft debris covering more than one third, but not more than two thirds, of the exposed tooth surface, 3=Soft debris covering more than two thirds of the exposed tooth surface. Lower score indicates better results.
Mean Oral Hygiene Index (OHI) at Week 6 and Week 12
OHI will be calculated as sum score of mean CI and mean ODI (score range 0-6). CI scoring:0=no calculus present,1=supragingival calculus covering not>1/3 of exposed tooth surface,2=supragingival calculus covering >1/3 but not >2/3 of exposed tooth surface/presence of individual flecks of subgingival calculus around cervical portion of tooth/both,3=supragingival calculus covering >2/3 of exposed tooth surface/continuous band of subgingival calculus around cervical portion of tooth/both. ODI scoring:0=no debris/stain present,1= supragingival calculus covering not >1/3 of exposed tooth surface,2=supragingival calculus covering>1/3 but not >2/3 of exposed tooth surface/presence of individual flecks of subgingival calculus around cervical portion of tooth/both,3=supragingival calculus covering >2/3 of exposed tooth surface/continuous band of subgingival calculus around cervical portion of tooth/ both. Lower score indicates better results.

5. Study Description
Brief 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.
Detailed Description
This study is a single-center, single-blind (to the examiner(s) performing the plaque, gingivitis, denture cleanliness and oral hygiene assessments), randomized, stratified (by denture material type and baseline mean overall modified gingival index [MGI] score), two-treatment, parallel group, 12 week clinical study in generally healthy, adult participants with at least one conventional removable partial denture (RPD) and generalized, mild-moderate, plaque-induced gingivitis (as determined by clinical examiner) and greater than or equal to >=4 natural teeth in each arch that meet all study criteria at both the Screening and Baseline visits (including >= 30 evaluable surfaces for clinical evaluation of gingivitis and plaque). The study will examine the effects of twice daily use of a range of dental/denture products (comprising use of a dentifrice, a mouthrinse and a denture cleanser) compared to no intervention (participants who continue with their existing oral hygiene habits). There will be four visits to the study site: screening, baseline (when participants are randomized), and after 6- and 12 weeks use of the range of dental/denture products.
