Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy of Potassium Nitrate Solution in Reducing Dentinal Hypersensitivity (NCT NCT01115452)

NCT ID: NCT01115452

Last Updated: 2015-01-26

Results Overview

Response to a one second application of air from a standard dental unit syringe applied to the surface of hypersensitive tooth. After each stimuli participant rated the intensity of pain on a 100 millimeter VAS, on which 0 represented "no pain" and 100 represented the" worst pain imaginable". Change from baseline was calculated as mean score at the given time point minus mean score at baseline.

Participant Flow

Participants were recruited at the clinical site

Participants with at least three non-adjacent sensitive teeth were included in the study. Each participant received three treatments during each of the five days treatment. Treatments were randomly assigned to each of the three individual sensitive tooth.

Measure
5% or 2.5% Potassium Nitrate Solution or Water
Investigator applied the participants with 5% potassium nitrate solution or 2.5% potassium nitrate solution or water to a single sensitive tooth for two minutes (mins), in each of the five day treatment period. This was a split-mouth design where three teeth were treated but each tooth had a different treatment.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and immediately after treatment on Day 5

Population: Intent to treat (ITT) population: All participants who were randomized, receive at least one dose of treatment, and had at least one post baseline efficacy evaluation. There was no imputation for missing data. Analysis population was less than the randomized population because 2 participants had one tooth which was not treated
