Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A total of 120 subjects were divided into 3 groups randomly. Group 1 was given the dentifrice containing 5% fluoro calcium phosphosilicate ,Group 2 was given the dentifrice containing potassium nitrate and group 3 was given placebo. Sensitivity scores (VAS score) were recorded at baseline, 2 weeks, 6 weeks.
