Evaluation of Plaque Removal Efficacy of a Novel Dye-Containing Toothpaste: A Clinical Trial
Background: Dental plaque contributes to caries and periodontal disease, therefore efficient plaque removal promotes oral
health. We hypothesize that individuals brushing with toothpaste containing plaque-indicating dye will demonstrate higherplaque removal efficacy than those using conventional toothpaste. This study tested plaque removal efficacy between a
novel FDA-registered toothpaste with plaque-indicating dye and a control toothpaste without indicating dye.

Methods: Thirty-one adult participants enrolled in the study were randomized and divided into two groups. Control group
participants brushed with control toothpaste for two visits. Experimental group participants brushed with control toothpaste
for their first visit and brushed with experimental toothpaste (PlaqueHDTM, TJA Health LLC, Joliet, Illinois) for their
second visit. Participants brushed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Prior to all visits, participants discontinued
oral hygiene for 12-16 hours.
