• Research summary

  The study will examine the effects of an intervention with a range of dental/denture products (comprising use of 3 products, a dentifrice, a mouthrinse and a denture cleanser) compared to no intervention (use of existing oral hygiene) in a population with mild-moderate generalized gum problems and who wear a removable partial denture (RPD). The study will evaluate subjects’ oral and gum health using established clinical indices for gingivitis, plaque and oral hygiene endpoints, denture cleanliness will be assessed by the partial denture cleanliness index and subjects’ perceptions towards dental/denture cleaning will be explored via a questionnaire.
  This study is required to support the efficacy and safety of the sequential use of these 3 products.
