Comparison of anti-plaque efficacy between a low and high cost dentifrice: A short term randomized double-blind trial

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the anti-plaque efficacy of a low and high cost commercially available tooth paste among 13-20 years old adolescents in a Residential Home, Bhopal, India. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was randomized double-blind parallel clinical trial conducted in...

description OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the anti-plaque efficacy of a low and high cost commercially available tooth paste among 13-20 years old adolescents in a Residential Home, Bhopal, India. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was randomized double-blind parallel clinical trial conducted in a Residential Home, Bhopal, India. A total of 65 patients with established dental plaque and gingivitis were randomly assigned to either low cost or high cost dentifrice group for 4 weeks. The plaque and gingival scores at baseline and post-intervention were assessed and compared. Statistical analysis was performed using paired t-test and the independent sample t-test. The statistical significance was fixed at 0.05. RESULTS: Results indicated a significant reduction in plaque and gingival scores in both groups post-intervention compared with the baseline. Difference between the groups was not significant. No adverse events were reported and both the dentifrices were well-tolerated. CONCLUSION: Low cost dentifrice is equally effective to the high cost dentifrice in reducing plaque and gingival inflammation.
