The objective of this study is to assess clinical efficacy of a toothpaste containing stannous fluoride (Colgate-Palmolive Company, New York, NY, USA) to provide dental hypersensitivity relief (tactile and air blast) in comparison to commercially available potassium-based desensitizing toothpaste (Senodyne Extra Whitening Toothpaste, GasoSmithKline Co., UK) and commercially available non-desensitizing toothpaste (Colgate Cavity Protection Toothpaste, Colgate-Palmolive Company, New York, NY, USA) over a seven day study period
Inclusion Criteria:
Be anterior to the molars and demonstrating dentin exposure due to cervical erosion/abrasion or gingival recession.
Have a qualifying dentin hypersensitivity response to tactile stimuli applied to the cervical surface (gingivo-facial 1/3) as defined by a response score between 10-50grams of force (Yeaple Probe, XiniX Research Inc. Portsmouth, NH, USA).
-Have a qualifying dentin hypersensitivity response to air blast stimuli applied for one second to the cervical surface (gingivo-facial 1/3) as defined by a score of 2 or 3 on the Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale
Exclusion Criteria:
Costa Mesa, California 92627, United States
