Comparison of Clinical Efficacy of a Dentifrice Containing 5% Fluoro Calcium Phosphosilicate to a Dentifrice Containing Calcium Sodium Phosphosilicate on Dentinal Hypersensitivity

Phase 2

Completed

• Conditions: Dentinal Hypersensitivity

• Registration Number: NCT03741309
• Lead Sponsor: Government Dental College and Research Institute, Bangalore

Brief Summary

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

Detailed Description

A total of 131 subjects were divided into 3 groups randomly. Group I was given the dentifrice containing 5% fluoro calcium phosphosilicate ,Group II was given the dentifrice containing calcium sodium phosphosilicate and group III was given placebo. Sensitivity scores (VAS score) were recorded at baseline, 2 weeks, 6 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Visual Analogue Scale score for Dentinal Hypersensitivity	Change in VAS score from Baseline to 6 weeks	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.
