NCT01345292

Brief Summary

This study is for people with sensitive teeth and involves going to the dentist for 4 visits over 6 weeks. During the first 2 weeks, you will just brush your teeth two times a day with the fluoride toothpaste provided. Then you will be assigned to a group if you qualify to continue in the study. All groups will get a marketed toothpaste and one group will also get a mouthwash with an experimental ingredient. You will have an equal chance of being assigned to any one of the three groups. For the next 4 weeks, you will brush with your assigned toothpaste and rinse with your assigned mouthwash if assigned to the mouthwash group. A dentist will look at your mouth, teeth, tongue and gums and check for sensitive teeth. The investigators will see if the mouthwash helps to reduce tooth sensitivity during the study.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Mean Tactile Sensitivity Score at Week 4

    Tooth sensitivity was measured using a Yeaple probe. The force at which discomfort was felt by the participant was recorded on a scale of 10-80 grams. The score for each participant was calculated by averaging the scores for all study teeth for that participant.
