A Randomized, Examiner-blind, Proof of Principal Study to Investigate the Stain and Plaque Removal Capability of Two Experimental 5% Potassium Nitrate Dentifrices in Healthy Subjects With the Propensity for Extrinsic Dental Stain
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating 5% KNO3 / 0.2542% NaF dentifrice with 0.5% spherical silica, 5% KNO3 / 0.2542% NaF dentifrice with 1% spherical silica and 5% STP, and 2 other interventions for Oral Hygiene. Completed, enrolled 123 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether spherical silica can achieve similar or greater extrinsic dental stain and plaque removal, in comparison to dentifrices containing higher concentrations of standard abrasive silica, and how the addition of 5% sodium tripolyphosphate (STP) enhances cleaning capability.

Interventions
Participants will be instructed to apply a full brush head of their dentifrice containing 5% KNO3 / 0.2542% NaF dentifrice with 0.5% spherical silica and brush twice daily (morning and evening) for one timed minute (in their usual manner).
