Official Title: Reduction of Dentine Hypersensitivity Using 8% Arginine Based Toothpaste and 8% Strontium Acetate Based Toothpaste: Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Brief Summary: This is a randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled study. 51 subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of dentin hypersensitivity were randomized to one of three treatments: Arginine based toothpaste, strontium acetate based toothpaste , or placebo. Treatment will be done at baseline then patients will use the toothpaste at home twice per day by using soft bristled tooth brush and the given dentifrice using modified stillmans method as explained by examiner. Standard test stimuli is calibrated short blast of air syringe, will be applied to sensitive dentin surfaces. Subjects recorded the intensity of sensitivity in response to stimulus on a visual analog scale at baseline, and after 1 week, 2 weeks and 3 months.
