Inclusion Criteria

An individual must meet all the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for enrollment into the study:

• Participant provision of a signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the participant has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study before any assessment is performed.
• A participant who is willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan and other study procedures.

• A participant at screening (Visit 1) with: a)at least 20 natural permanent teeth excluding 3rd molars; b)at least 40 evaluable surfaces (an evaluable surface is defined as having 2/3rds of the natural tooth surface gradable for the selected clinical indices. The following should not be included in the evaluable surface count- third molars; fully crowned/extensively restored, grossly carious, orthodontically banded/bonded or abutment teeth; surfaces with calculus deposits which, in the opinion of the clinical examiner, would interfere with the baseline assessments of the selected clinical indices); or c) participants with generalized mild-moderate plaque-induced gingivitis, in the opinion of the clinical examiner, as confirmed by visual examinations.
• A participant at baseline (prior to dental prophylaxis, (Visit 2) with: a)ongoing hard tissue eligibility and, in the opinion of the clinical examiner, at least 40 evaluable surfaces; b) mean whole mouth Modified Gingival Index (MGI) greater than equal to (>=) 1.75 to less than equal to (<=) 2.30; c) mean whole mouth supra-gingival Turesky Plaque Index (TPI) score ≥ 1.5; d) ≥ 20 bleeding sites.
