Clinical Trial Summary

This will be a randomized, controlled, single center, single- blind, 3 period, 3 treatment, cross-over, in situ design which consists of placing pre-eroded bovine enamel specimens intra orally using a palatal appliance and testing the remineralizing performance of the experimental (dentifrice containing 0.254 Percent weight by weight [%, w/w] sodium fluoride (1150 parts per million [ppm] fluoride) and 5% KNO3 [potassium nitrate]), comparator (dentifrice containing 0.454% w/w stannous fluoride (1100 ppm fluoride) and placebo (Fluoride free placebo containing 5% KNO3 [0 ppm fluoride] ) dentifrices 2 and 4 hours (hrs) post treatment application, based on surface micro hardness measurements. This study will be carried out in healthy adults with a maxillary dental arch suitable for the retention of the palatal appliance.


Description:

The aim of this study is to investigate the performance of an experimental dentifrice formulation in promoting enamel remineralization and inhibiting post-treatment enamel demineralization in an in situ erosion model, in comparison with a fluoride-free placebo and with a marketed competitor dentifrice product. The study will have 4 visits, 1 screening visit to assess participants eligibility and 3 treatment visits to assess product efficacy, where the treatment product will be dispensed and used under the supervision of a suitably trained study site personnel. Prior to each treatment visit, there will be a washout period of a minimum of 3 days. During this period participants will use their own dentifrice for at least one day, and a fluoride free dentifrice (provided) for two days prior to the next scheduled visit (including in the morning of the scheduled visit) to minimize any carry-over effects of the fluoride toothpaste.

Intervention

Drug:
0.254% w/w sodium fluoride and 5% KNO3
Dentifrice containing 0.254% w/w sodium fluoride (1150 ppm fluoride) and 5% KNO3; plus 0.25% PVM/MA copolymer and 2.5% sodium lactate. Participants will brush it on the buccal surfaces of their natural teeth for 25 timed seconds and then swish the resulting toothpaste slurry around the mouth, without further brushing, for a timed period of 95 seconds. After expectorating the slurry, the participants will gently rinse their mouths with 15 millilitres [mL] of tap water for 10 seconds before expectorating again.
0.454% w/w stannous fluoride
Dentifrice containing 0.454% w/w stannous fluoride (1100 ppm fluoride). Participants will brush it on the buccal surfaces of their natural teeth for 25 timed seconds and then swish the resulting toothpaste slurry around the mouth, without further brushing, for a timed period of 95 seconds. After expectorating the slurry, the participants will gently rinse their mouths with 15 mL of tap water for 10 seconds before expectorating again.
5% KNO3
Fluoride free placebo dentifrice containing 5% KNO3 (0 ppm fluoride), 0.25% PVM/MA copolymer and 2.5% lactate. Participants will brush it on the buccal surfaces of their natural teeth for 25 timed seconds and then swish the resulting toothpaste slurry around the mouth, without further brushing, for a timed period of 95 seconds. After expectorating the slurry, the participants will gently rinse their mouths with 15 mL of tap water for 10 seconds before expectorating again.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary % Surface Micro Hardness Recovery (SMHR; Comparison of 1150 Ppm Fluoride and 5% KNO3 Dentifrice Relative to a Fluoride Free Placebo Dentifrice to Enhance Remineralization of Enamel) The %SMHR was calculated to assess the changes in mineralization status of enamel specimens. The mean indent length (micrometer) from five Knoop microindentations within each specimen was measured at baseline (B), after the first erosive challenge (E1), and after 2 and 4 hours intraoral phase (R). An increase in the indentation length compared to the baseline indicates softening of the enamel surface while decrease in the indentation length represents re-hardening of enamel surface. The %SMHR was calculated as : %SMHR = [(E1-R)/(E1-B)]*100. Greater values of %SMHR indicate that greater remineralization has occurred, thus higher values are more favorable. After 4 hrs following single exposure of treatment
Secondary % Relative Erosion Resistance (RER; Comparison of 1150 Ppm Fluoride and 5% KNO3 Dentifrice Relative to a Fluoride Free Placebo Dentifrice to Inhibit Demineralization of Enamel) The %RER was calculated to assess the ability of treated enamel specimens to provide a combined benefit in terms of enhanced remineralization and acid resistance of the enamel. The mean indent length (micrometer) from five Knoop microindentations within each specimen was measured at baseline (B), after the first erosive challenge (E1), and after the second erosive challenge (E2) (E2 is measured for after both 2 and 4 hours of remineralization). An increase in the indentation length compared to the baseline indicates softening of the enamel surface while decrease in the indentation length represents re-hardening of enamel surface. The %RER was calculated as : %RER = [(E1-E2)/ (E1-B)]*100. Higher values of %RER indicate greater resistance to erosion, thus higher values are more favorable. After 4 hrs following single exposure of treatment
Secondary Enamel Fluoride Uptake (EFU; Comparison of 1150 Ppm Fluoride and 5% KNO3 Dentifrice Relative to a Fluoride Free Placebo Dentifrice to Promote Fluoride Uptake in Enamel) The EFU was measured to determine the amount of fluoride incorporation into the model erosive lesions. Each enamel specimen drilled to a depth of approximately 100 µm using a microdrill, through the entire lesion (four cores per specimen). The enamel powder pooled from four drilling samples was then, dissolved in a known volume of perchloric acid and immediately analyzed for fluoride content using a calibrated fluoride specific electrode. The amount of fluoride-uptake by enamel was calculated based on the amount of fluoride divided by the area of the enamel cores and expressed as microgram fluoride per square centimeter (µgF/cm^2). Higher values of EFU indicate greater incorporation of fluoride into the enamel and are thus more favorable. After 4 hrs following single exposure of treatment
Secondary % SMHR (Comparison of 1150 Ppm Fluoride and 5% KNO3 Dentifrice Relative to Comparator Containing 1100 Ppm Fluoride) The %SMHR was calculated to assess the changes in mineralization status of enamel specimens. The mean indent length (micrometer) from five Knoop microindentations within each specimen was measured at baseline (B), after the first erosive challenge (E1), and after 2 and 4 hours intraoral phase (R). An increase in the indentation length compared to the baseline indicates softening of the enamel surface while decrease in the indentation length represents re-hardening of enamel surface. The %SMHR was calculated as: %SMHR = [(E1-R)/(E1-B)]*100. Greater values of %SMHR indicate that greater remineralization has occurred, thus higher values are more favorable. After 4 hrs following single exposure of treatment
