Intervention(s)
Group 1: A test cycle begins with an examination on day 0, a four -day rinsing phase, and an examination on day 4 with a subsequent 9-day wash-out phase. In the rinsing phase the participant should waive additional oral hygiene and only rinse twice a day (in the morning and evening) with the test-toothpaste applied (the rinsing will be performed by using a maxillary splint) . In the preparatory phase, the rinsing will only performed with water instead of toothpaste. Each subject receives a splint, a manual toothbrush, a stopwatch and the test toothpastes.
In the test phase, rinsing will be performed 8 times:
- Toothpaste application 1 and 2 (day 0)
- Toothpaste application 3 and 4 (Day 1)
- Toothpaste application 5 and 6 (day 2)
- Toothpaste application 7 and 8 (day 3)
- Only clinical examination (Day 4)
For every rinsing procedure, subjects will put 1 cm (about 1 g) of blinded test toothpastes on the toothbrush. In total, about 8 g of each test toothpaste will be used for rinsing. The rinsing procedure contains a brushing with the toothbrush and the applied toothpaste on the surface of the maxillary inserted splint for 30 seconds. Then, rinsing with the resulting slurry will be performed for 90 s. The duration of the whole rinsing will be 2 minutes. The time period is monitored automatically by a timer (stopwatch) by the subjects.
Measurements of the various parameters on day 0 and day 4 of the preparation and test phase are based on a 4-day plaque model modified by Addy et al. (1983)
The evaluation of the amount of plaque formed will be measured at baseline and after four days, in which the respective dentifrices in each test cycle are used to rinse.
? An intraoral baseline examination will take place after information about the study and consent of the subjects.

Primary Outcome(s)
After the preparation phase , the testing phase can be started with the test toothpastes (only high responder) . Here, baseline and post-treatment measurements will be compared of the amount of bacteria, degree of inflammation, and the amount of plaque in dependence of the respective test toothpastes. Baseline measurements are taken on day 0, post-treatment measurements in each cycle (4 in total) on day 4. In each case, a clinical examination is carried out .
Secondary Outcome(s)
The cleaning effect of the differently shaped interdental brushes will be examined in the preparation phase . In addition, so-called high responders are included in the study . Clinical examinations (measurements) will be performed on day 0 and day 4 (bacteria load, degree of inflammation of the gums , probing depth) .
