A Two-Week Study of Clinical Safety and Saliva Flow Quantification

Completed · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Healthy

In brief

The purpose of this study is to assess the oral tissue tolerance (tissues within the mouth) for irritation caused by added ingredients in mouthwashes. This will be assessed based on oral tissue exams and adverse reactions.

Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document indicating the participant (or legally acceptable representative) has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the trial
Able to read and understand the local language (participant is capable of reading the documents)

Females of childbearing potential must be using a medically acceptable method of birth control for at least one month prior to Visit 1 and agree to continue using this method during their participation in the study
Resting baseline unstimulated salivary sample must be equal to or greater than 0.3 milliliter per minute (mL/min) to continue in the study
A minimum of 20 natural teeth with scorable facial and lingual surfaces. Teeth that are grossly carious, extensively restored, orthodontically banded, abutments, exhibiting severe generalized cervical and/or enamel abrasion, or third molars will not be included in the tooth count
Absence of significant oral soft tissue pathology, excluding plaque-induced gingivitis, based on a visual examination and at the discretion of the Investigator
Absence of advanced periodontitis based on a clinical examination and discretion of the dental examiner
Absence of fixed or removable orthodontic appliance or removable partial dentures

You may not qualify if…

History of significant adverse effects, including sensitivities or suspected allergies, following use of oral hygiene products such as toothpastes, mouthwashes and red food dye
Dental prophylaxis within four weeks prior to Baseline visit
History of medical conditions requiring prophylactic antibiotic coverage prior to invasive dental procedures
Use of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory or anticoagulant therapy, phenytoin sodium or diphenylhydantoin, cyclosporin A, immunostimulants/ immunomodulators during the study or within the one month prior to the Baseline exam. Intermittent use of certain anti-inflammatory medication (ibuprofen, Aspirin); oral steroids and calcium channel blockers are acceptable at the discretion of the investigator
Use of chemotherapeutic anti-plaque/anti-gingivitis products such as triclosan, essential oils, cetylpyridinium chloride, sodium fluoride with CPC, stannous fluoride, zinc or chlorhexidine digluconate containing mouthwashes and toothpastes within the four weeks prior to the Baseline exam
Known allergy or sensitivity or history of significant adverse effects to any of the investigational product and/or product ingredients (or other ingredients in the products)
Self-reported pregnancy or lactation (this criterion is due to oral tissue changes related to pregnancy and nursing which can affect interpretation of study results)
Self-reported smokeless tobacco user including snuff, chewing tobacco, vaping and e-cigarette usage
Males with a pregnant partner or a partner who is currently trying to become pregnant
Suspected alcohol or substance abuse (examples, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, cocaine, marijuana, opiates)
Significant medical or oral condition which may interfere with a participant's participation in the study, including cancer, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), immunocompromised state (weakened immune system) from solid organ transplant, serious heart conditions, (such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, or cardiomyopathies) Sickle cell disease, Type 2 diabetes mellitus at the discretion of the Investigator
Participation in any clinical trial within 30 days of Screening visit
Diagnosed Temporo-mandibular joint dysfunction/disorder
Participants who wear bruxing devices, dental aligners, retainers
Participants who were previously screened and ineligible or were randomized to receive investigational product
Participants who are related to those persons involved directly or indirectly with the conduct of this study (that is, principal investigator, sub-investigators, study coordinators, other site personnel, employees of Johnson \& Johnson subsidiaries, contractors of Johnson \& Johnson, and the families of each)
Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the Investigator, would make the participant inappropriate for entry into this study
COVID-19 restrictions: participants who fail to meet the criteria of the site's screening consent for Preventing Infection in the site's COVID-19 consent form
