The amount of stannous fluoride in GCF and subgingival plaque samples will be analyzed.
This is pilot study involving approximately 20 subjects with at least 20 dental pockets between 2- 4mm with bleeding for sampling. Subjects will have up to 10 sites identified as "sampling sites" that will have supragingival plaque, subgingival plaque, and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) collected at Baseline, 30 minutes, 24 hours, and Week 2.

Amount of tin in GCF sample
per GCF sample amount of stannous level in ng/uL will be measured
Time frame: mean difference from 30 minutes to baseline
Amount of tin in GCF and Subgingival Plaque
stannous level in subgingival plaque will be measured as concentration in ng, per GCF sample amount of stannous level in ng/uL
Time frame: change from visit (change from 24 hours to baseline, change Week 2 to baseline)
