A randomized crossover trial assessing denture adhesive for prevention of food infiltration among partial denture wearers.

Purpose: This two-treatment, four-period, double-blind, randomized controlled crossover trial assessed the ability of two denture adhesives, both applied with a thin nozzle in a continuous application pattern, to prevent food infiltration beneath partial dentures.

Methods: Participants with mandibular partial dentures and a history of food particle infiltration were enrolled. All participants used both an optimized calcium/zinc partial salt of polyvinyl methyl ether/maleic acid (PVM/MA) denture adhesive and a calcium/sodium partial salt of PVM/MA test denture adhesive, twice each, throughout four study periods, according to a randomly assigned sequence.

Randomized Controlled Trials Assessing Exposure Frequency Effects of Stannous Fluoride on Gingivitis.

Objective: To evaluate the exposure frequency effect of 0.454% stannous fluoride (SnF) toothpaste in controlling gingivitis.

Methods: Two randomized controlled trials enrolled generally healthy adults with gingivitis.

Relationship between 1-, 3-, and 6-Month Gingival Bleeding Outcomes.

Introduction: Results from systematic reviews and meta-analyses show generally consistent antigingivitis effects between 3- and 6-mo observation time points with twice-daily use of stannous fluoride (SnF) dentifrice. However, the relationship between 1-, 3-, and 6-mo gingivitis responses has not been investigated.

Methods: This pooled analysis was conducted to understand the relationship of 1-, 3-, and 6-mo gingival bleeding outcomes.

A 4-week randomized controlled trial evaluating plaque and gingivitis effects of an electric toothbrush in a paediatric population.

Background: Few extended studies have explored oscillating-rotating (O-R) toothbrush efficacy in young children.

Aim: To compare the efficacy between O-R and manual toothbrushes in reducing plaque and gingivitis after 4 weeks in children.

Design: This was a randomized, parallel-group, examiner-blind, clinical trial.

Brushing Behavior Changes and Plaque Removal with an Electric Toothbrush: A clinical trial.

To evaluate changes in toothbrushing behavior and plaque removal performance with usage of a next generation oscillating-rotating electric toothbrush (NG-OR). This exploratory clinical study had a two-treatment, three-period, single-group, sequential design. Generally healthy adults with a screening whole mouth mean Turesky modified Quigley-Hein Plaque Index (TQHPI) score of at least 1.
