Clinical Trial Summary

Dentin hypersensitivity is a common problem in society. Untreated hypersensitivity affects the patient's quality of life, complicates plaque control and increases the risk of caries and periodontal disease. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of desensitizing toothpastes containing sodium fluoride, stannous fluoride, nano-hydroxyapatite, 8% arginine and calcium carbonate. Fourty eight patients with at least two teeth with positive responses to air and mechanical stimulus were included in the study and were divided into four groups. Sodium fluoride (Colgate®, Cavity Protection) in group A, stannous fluoride (Oral B® Gum Calm & Sensitivity) in group B, nano-hydroxyapatite (ApaCare®) in group C and 8% arginine and calcium carbonate combination in group D (Colgate® Sensitive Pro- ReliefTM) were used by the patients continuously for 16 weeks. Dentin hypersensitivity, by using VAS and Shiff scores and periodontal parameters were evaluated at baseline, 2nd week, 4th week and last 16th week.

Study Design


Intervention

Other:
Sodium Monofluorophosphate
Test toothpaste, participants will brush selected sensitive teeth each for 30 seconds followed by the whole mouth thoroughly for at least one minute. The method of application of these agents will be the fingertip method. Patients continued to use the paste twice daily, morning and evening, for 16 weeks.
Stannous Fluoride
Test toothpaste, participants will brush selected sensitive teeth each for 30 seconds followed by the whole mouth thoroughly for at least one minute. The method of application of these agents will be the fingertip method. Patients continued to use the paste twice daily, morning and evening, for 16 weeks.
Nano-Hydroxyapatite
Test toothpaste, participants will brush selected sensitive teeth each for 30 seconds followed by the whole mouth thoroughly for at least one minute. The method of application of these agents will be the fingertip method. Patients continued to use the paste twice daily, morning and evening, for 16 weeks.
8% Arginine & Calcium Carbonate
Test toothpaste, participants will brush selected sensitive teeth each for 30 seconds followed by the whole mouth thoroughly for at least one minute. The method of application of these agents will be the fingertip method. Patients continued to use the paste twice daily, morning and evening, for 16 weeks.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Hypersensitivity Reduction Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) measures pain intensity. The VAS consists of a 10cm line, with two end points representing 0 ('no pain') and 10 ('pain as bad as it could possibly be'). Baseline, 2nd week, 4th week, 16th week
Primary Hypersensitivity Reduction The Schiff Scale examiner covers the adjacent teeth on either side of the patient's hypersensitive tooth with his/her fingers. Air from the tip of the dental unit's air-water sprayer is applied to the cervical region of the hypersensitive tooth at a distance of approximately 1 cm for 1 second. The degree of hypersensitivity is scored according to the Schiff cold air sensitivity scale. Scoring :
Score 0: The individual does not respond to the stimulus. Score 1: The individual responds to the stimulus but does not request its termination. Score 2: The individual responds to the stimulus and requests its termination or moves to avoid the stimulus. Score 3: The individual responds to the stimulus, finds the stimulus painful and requests its termination. The pain persists for a few seconds after the stimulus is terminated.
