An Exploratory Study Investigating the Effects of a Potassium Nitrate Solution in Reducing Dentinal Hypersensitivity
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Potassium Nitrate and Placebo for Dentinal Hypersensitivity and Dental Pain. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
A randomized, controlled, double blind exploratory study to explore the effects of two different potassium nitrate concentrations and water on exposed dentine in reducing dentinal hypersensitivity. Solutions will be applied for either 2, 5 or 10 minutes and assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS) scores following evaporative (air) stimulus.
