---|---|
Test dentifrice
1.5g (± 0.05g) of Test dentifrice followed by 10mL of de-ionised water rinse, then 10 mL orange juice rinse
|
Other: Test Dentifrice
Marketed dentifrice containing 1150ppm fluoride and 5% w/w KNO3 Other: Orange Juice Teeth will be rinsed with orange juice followed by rinsing with de-ionised water in test dentifrice and comparator dentifrice arms. Other: De-ionised water Teeth will be rinsed with de-ionised water followed by reference dentifrice and followed by rinsing with orange juice in test dentifrice and comparator dentifrice arms. |
Reference dentifrice
1.5g (± 0.05g) of Reference dentifrice followed by 10mL of de-ionised water rinse, then 10 mL water rinse
|
Other: Reference Dentifrice
Marketed dentifrice containing 1150ppm fluoride and 5% w/w KNO3 Other: De-ionised water Teeth will be rinsed with de-ionised water followed by reference dentifrice and followed by rinsing with orange juice in test dentifrice and comparator dentifrice arms. |
Comparator dentifrice
1.5g (± 0.05g) of Comparator dentifrice followed by 10mL of de-ionised water rinse, then 10 mL orange juice rinse
|
Other: Comparator Dentifrice
Marketed dentifrice containing 1150ppm fluoride and 5% w/w KNO3 Other: Orange Juice Teeth will be rinsed with orange juice followed by rinsing with de-ionised water in test dentifrice and comparator dentifrice arms. Other: De-ionised water Teeth will be rinsed with de-ionised water followed by reference dentifrice and followed by rinsing with orange juice in test dentifrice and comparator dentifrice arms. |
- Concentrations of Fluoride Ions in Saliva 60 Minutes Post Brushing Prior to Administration of the Orange Juice or De-ionised Water Rinse [ Time Frame: 60 minutes ]Concentration of fluoride ions in saliva at 60 minutes after a single brushing with a fluoride dentifrice prior to rinsing with either de-ionised (DI) water or orange juice (OJ). Descriptive data is presented as least square (LS) mean and standard error (SE). SE for Fluoride is the SE of the raw mean.
- Concentrations of Fluoride and Calcium Ions in Saliva Post Brushing Prior to Administration of Orange Juice or De-ionised Water Rinse [ Time Frame: up to 60 minutes ]Concentration of fluoride and calcium ions in saliva at baseline, 1, 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 minutes (for calcium only) after a single brushing with a fluoride dentifrice
- Concentrations of Fluoride and Calcium Ions in Saliva Following Administration of the Orange Juice or De-ionised Water Rinse [ Time Frame: 60 minutes ]Concentration of fluoride and calcium ions in saliva following a rinse with either de ionised water or OJ 60 minutes after a single brushing with a fluoride dentifrice
- Concentrations of Fluoride and Calcium Ions in the Initial Expectorate, De-ionised Water Rinse Post Brushing Expectorate, and 60 Minutes Post Brushing Following Administration of Orange Juice or De-ionised Water Rinse [ Time Frame: up to 60 minutes ]Concentration of fluoride and calcium ions in the initial expectorate, de-ionized water rinse post brushing expectorate, and 60 minutes post brushing following administration of orange juice or de-ionised water rinse
