Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Two Dentifrices for Dentine Hypersensitivity (NCT NCT02371616)

NCT ID: NCT02371616

Last Updated: 2018-04-04

Results Overview

Evaporative air sensitivity was assessed by examiner as a response to a 1 second application of air from a triple air dental syringe applied to the exposed dentine surface of hypersensitive tooth from a distance of approximately 1centimeter. Each participants rated the intensity of their response to the stimulus using a 100 millimeter (mm) VAS, were 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 of the two selected test teeth.

Participant Flow

Participants were recruited at one center (three sites) in United Kingdom.

A total of 731 participants were screened, out of which 304 participants were randomized. 427 participants were not randomized because 377 did not met the study criteria, 1 had adverse event, 3 were lost to follow up and 1 due to protocol violation, 5 withdrew consent and 40 participants were not randomized because of other reasons (not specified).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At Baseline and Week 8

Population: Analysis for this outcome was performed on per protocol (PP) population which is defined as all participants in the intent to treat (ITT) population who had at least one assessment of efficacy considered unaffected by protocol violations.

Evaporative air sensitivity was assessed by examiner as a response to a 1 second application of air from a triple air dental syringe applied to the exposed dentine surface of hypersensitive tooth from a distance of approximately 1centimeter. Each participants rated the intensity of their response to the stimulus using a 100 millimeter (mm) VAS, were 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 of the two selected test teeth.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At Baseline, Week 4 and Week 8

Population: Analysis for this outcome was performed on PP population which is defined as all participants in the ITT population who had at least one assessment of efficacy considered unaffected by protocol violations.

Evaporative air sensitivity was measured by examiner as the participant's response to an evaporative air stimulus for each tooth using the Schiff Sensitivity Scale scored as follows - 0: Participant does not respond to air stimulation; 1: responds to air stimulus but does not request discontinuation of stimulus; 2: Participant responds to air stimulus and requests discontinuation or moves from stimulus; 3: Participant responds to stimulus, considers stimulus to be painful, and requests discontinuation of the stimulus. A reduction in Schiff Sensitivity score indicate improvement in sensitivity. Change from baseline was calculated as mean score at the given time point minus mean score at baseline of the two selected test teeth.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At Baseline, Week 4 and Week 8

Population: Analysis for this outcome was performed on PP population which is defined as all participants in the ITT population who had at least one assessment of efficacy considered unaffected by protocol violations.

Tactile threshold was assessed by examiner using a constant pressure probe (Yeaple probe) which allowed application of a known force to the dentine surface from 10 g to an upper threshold of 80g in increments of 10 g. The tactile threshold is the maximum pressure applied at which participant do not report any pain or discomfort. The tactile threshold for each tooth was determined by asking the participant whether the sensation caused discomfort. The pressure setting at which the participant gave two consecutive 'yes' responses was recorded as the tactile threshold. The higher the tactile threshold, the less sensitive the tooth. Change from baseline was calculated as mean score at the given time point minus mean score at baseline of the two selected test teeth.
