Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to develop the clinical methodology to characterize the efficacy profiles of an experimental 5% potassium nitrate (KNO3) and 0.454% stannous fluoride (SnF2) combination dentifrice and a marketed desensitizing 0.454% SnF2 only dentifrice for the relief of dentin hypersensitivity (DH), at multiple time points, over an 8 week treatment period.
Detailed Description
This will be a single center, 8 week, randomized, controlled, examiner blind, two treatment arm, parallel design, stratified (by maximum baseline Schiff sensitivity score of the two selected test teeth), method development study, in participants in good general health, with pre-existing self-reported tooth sensitivity, and at least two sensitive teeth (diagnosed clinically) that meet all study criteria at the screening and baseline (pre-treatment) visits.
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent form (ICF) indicating that the participant has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study before any assessment is performed.
- •Participant who is willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, and other study procedures.
- •Participant in good general and mental health with, in the opinion of the investigator or medically qualified designee: a) No clinically significant and relevant abnormalities in medical history or upon oral examination. b) Absence of any condition that would impact the participant's safety or wellbeing or affect the individual's ability to understand and follow study procedures and requirements.
- •Male participant able to father children, or female participant of child-bearing potential and at risk for pregnancy, must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception throughout the study and for at least 5 days after the last dose of assigned treatment. Female participant not of child-bearing potential must meet requirements as follows: Achieved post-menopausal status, defined as follows: cessation of regular menses for at least 12 consecutive months, with no alternative pathological or physiological cause, and have a serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level confirming post-menopausal state, Have undergone a documented hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy, Have medically confirmed ovarian failure.
- •AT Visit 1 (Screening): participant must have a) Self-reported history of DH lasting more than six months but not more than 10 years. b) Minimum of 20 natural teeth. c) Minimum of 2 accessible non-adjacent teeth (incisors, canines, pre-molars), preferably in different quadrants, that meet all of the following criteria: Signs of facial/cervical erosion, abrasion or gingival recession (EAR), Tooth with MGI score = 0 adjacent to the test area (exposed dentin) only and a clinical mobility of ≤1, Tooth with signs of sensitivity, as evidenced by qualifying tactile (tactile threshold ≤ 20g) and evaporative air (Schiff sensitivity score ≥ 2) sensitivity.
- •AT Visit 2 (Baseline): participant must have a minimum of two, non-adjacent accessible teeth (incisors, canines, pre-molars), preferably in different quadrants, with signs of sensitivity, as evidenced by qualifying tactile (tactile threshold ≤ 20g) and evaporative air (Schiff sensitivity score ≥ 2) sensitivity at both Screening and Baseline. All teeth which meet the sensitivity criteria (tactile threshold ≤ 20g; Schiff sensitivity score ≥ 2) at Screening (Visit 1) should be assessed by tactile stimulus at Baseline (Visit 2). Those teeth which meet the required tactile threshold (Yeaple ≤20g) again at Baseline should then be assessed by evaporative air stimulus. The examiner will select two 'Test Teeth' from those which meet the tactile threshold and Schiff sensitivity score inclusion criteria at Screening and Baseline. Once these two teeth have been identified, no further testing is necessary. Test Teeth should not be adjacent to each other and preferably in different quadrants.
