简要总结
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.
详细描述
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.

- •Participant who is willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, and other study procedures.
- •Good general and mental health with, in the opinion of the investigator or medically qualified designee. No clinically significant and relevant abnormalities in medical history or oral examination.
- •Male participant able to father children and female participant of childbearing potential and at risk for pregnancy must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception throughout the study and for 5 days after the last dose of assigned treatment.
- •Good oral health without lesions of the oral cavity that could interfere with the study evaluations.
- •Maxillary dental arch suitable for the retention of the palatal appliance
- •Unstimulated salivary flow rate of at least 0.2 mL/minute and a stimulated salivary flow rate of at least 0.8 mL/minute.
- •Understands and is willing, able and likely to comply with all study procedures and restrictions.
排除标准
- •Participants who are investigational site staff members directly involved in the conduct of the study and their family members, site staff members otherwise supervised by the investigator, or participants who are GSK employees directly involved in the conduct of the study.
- •Participation in other studies involving investigational drug(s) within 30 days prior to screening visit.
- •Participation in other studies involving investigational oral care or cosmetic products within 30 days prior to screening visit.
- •Acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the participant inappropriate for entry into this study.

结局指标
主要结局
% 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)
时间窗: After 4 hrs following single exposure of treatment
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.
