To determine whether brushing with a whitening dentifrice containing a high cleaning silica system produces a greater level of stain reduction as indicated by the Modified Lobene Stain Index (MLSI) Area x Intensity score for the overall tooth surfaces than brushing with a commercial fluoride non-whitening dentifrice as a negative control for 2 weeks.
Time frame: 2 WEEKS
TOOTH COLOR
TOOTH WHITENING AND ORAL OIFT TISSUE INTEGRITY To determine the oral soft tissue (OST) tolerance of the dentifrices. To compare the change from baseline in stain levels as represented by the MLSI scores for overall, gingival, interproximal and body areas of the facial and lingual surfaces for each dentifrice after 2 weeks of product use.
Time frame: 2 WEEKS
