Study start date: March 1, 2013

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This will be a double-blind. Subjects will be randomly assigned to the test or control dentifrice arm. Enrolled subjects will also be randomly assigned to either right or left side mandibular stent. During the induction phase (i.e., day 0 to day 21), participants are instructed to refrain from all hygiene procedures in the stent area. During this time period, participants evenly distributed 2mL of their assigned dentifrice into their stent, allowing it to come into contact with the areas of experimental gingivitis for two minutes twice daily while traditional tooth brushing was performed in the non-stent areas. Clinical measures, saliva, gingival crevicular fluid and plaque samples will be collected at days 0, 14, 21, and 35 study visits. A randomization chart will be used to identify which two sites (teeth and tooth surface) will be used at the specific study visit for collection of gingival crevicular fluid(GCF) and plaque.
