Plaque Project - Gingivitis study
Year Started: 2018
Subjects who have healthy gums and no exclusionary factors undertake to not brush ¼ of their teeth for 3 weeks. This split mouth designed study collects gingival crevicular fluid samples from both test and control teeth before, during and 2 weeks after the non-brushing phase. This study is usually repeated yearly and other samples (eg serum/ plasma/ plaque) could be collected alongside if requested.
