Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Investigate the Efficacy of an Occluding Dentifrice in Providing Relief From Dentine Hypersensitivity (NCT NCT02773758)

NCT ID: NCT02773758

Last Updated: 2017-09-29

Results Overview

Schiff Sensitivity Score is an examiner based index, was scored immediately following administration of the evaporative air stimulus by directing a maximum one second application of air from a dental air syringe to the exposed dentine surface from a distance of approximately 1 cm. The examiner indicated the participant's response to the evaporative air stimulus, after the stimulation of each individual tooth, using the Schiff sensitivity scale as follows: 0= participant does not respond to air stimulation; 1= participant 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.

Measure
Stannous Fluoride Dentifrice
Participants were instructed to dose a dry toothbrush with a full strip of toothpaste containing 0.454% weight by weight (w/w) stannous fluoride (1100 parts per million \[ppm\] fluoride), then brush each of the two selected sensitive test teeth first, followed by the whole mouth thoroughly for at least 1 minute twice daily (morning and evening). Participants were permitted to rinse with tap water.
Sodium Monofluorophosphate Dentifrice
Participants were instructed to apply a full brush head of toothpaste to a dry toothbrush containing 0.76% sodium monofluorophosphate (1000ppm fluoride), and then brush the whole mouth thoroughly for at least 1 minute. Participants were permitted to rinse with tap water.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Day 7 and Day 14

Population: Analysis for this outcome was conducted on ITT population which included all participants who were randomized, received at least one dose of the study treatment and provided at least one post-baseline assessment of efficacy.

A tactile stimulus was administered using a constant pressure probe (Yeaple Probe). Response to this stimulus was evaluated as tactile threshold. The constant pressure probe allowed the examiner to vary the force applied to the dentine surface from 10 g to an upper threshold of 80 g in increments of 10 g. The tactile threshold is the maximum pressure applied without the participant's reporting pain or discomfort. The greater the tactile threshold, the less sensitive the tooth.
