Livionex on Reducing Plaque Accumulation & Improving Oral Health in

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This is an investigator initiated randomized double-blind pilot study at the UCSF Pediatric Dental Clinics to compare effectiveness of a new toothpaste Livionex Dental Gel with a standard children's toothpaste containing 1500 ppm fluoride in reducing dental plaque and caries in healthy and well children every 3 months for up to 12 months.

Clinical Trial Description

Dental plaque is the primary etiological factor in the initiation of caries, gingival inflammation and subsequent destruction of periodontal tissues. Effective oral hygiene eliminates microbial plaque leading to resolution of gingival inflammation. Livionex Dental Gel is a toothpaste that is effective in reducing plaque in adults while not containing the additives found in other toothpastes that can cause increased gingival irritation. The investigators hypothesize that brushing with Livionex toothpaste creates an oral environment that prevents dental plaque accumulation and promotes oral health in children. This study will prospectively enroll 78 children aged 9 months to 12 years from UCSF pediatric dental clinics. Upon obtaining an informed consent, children will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the use of test (Livionex Dental Gel) and control toothpaste (a standard children's toothpaste containing 1500 ppm fluoride ). All patients will be provided a soft brush at enrollment, and the child and/or the parent will be taught to brush/clean after the first exam, with the assigned dentifrice, at the study center before they go home. Additionally, each subject will receive a new brush at every 3-month visit. Subjects will undergo a dental exam by a trained dentist including caries assessment (at baseline, 1, 3, 6, 9 or 12 months), dental plaque photograph, (at baseline, 1, 3, 6 and 9 or 12 months), and swab samples for dental plaque and saliva will be collected at all study visits. A questionnaire will be given to address dentifrice and brushing experience in a phone call one month after enrollment and at the last study visit. Data on compliance and side effects of toothpastes will be collected at each of the calls. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
