Clinical Trial Summary

Aim of this study was to assess and compare the efficacy of a dentifrice containing 5% fluoro calcium phosphosilicate and dentifrice containing potassium nitrate on Dentinal Hypersensitivity (DH) compared to a placebo over a period of 6 weeks.

Description:

A total of 120 subjects were divided into 3 groups randomly. Group 1 was given the dentifrice containing 5% fluoro calcium phosphosilicate ,Group 2 was given the dentifrice containing potassium nitrate and group 3 was given placebo. Sensitivity scores (VAS score) were recorded at baseline, 2 weeks, 6 weeks.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Visual Analogue Scale score for Dentinal Hypersensitivity	Based on a 10-cm VAS score which was used to measure tooth sensitivity, a pain-free response was allotted a score of zero whereas a score of 10 was given to subjects with excruciating pain or discomfort.	Change in VAS score from Baseline to 12 weeks
