What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Tooth Hypersensitity to Touch Stimuli (Tactile)

    Units on a scale:Measured with an electronic force sensing probe(Yeaple Probe):10, 20, 30, 40,up to 50 grams of force are applied to hypersensitive tooth until pain is felt. This calibrated instrument measures grams of force applied to each tooth before pain is felt. This data is recorded as the hypersensitivity score. The lower the score, the higher the hypersensitivity.Changes in this score to potentially painful stimulus are determined based on how many grams of force can be applied before the subject reports feeling pain. Grams of force is therefore the unit measurement for sensitivity

    Measured: 12 weeks (Final)

  2. Tooth Hypersensivity Stimuli to Air

    Units on a scale using Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale. Response to a constant (duration, pressure, temperature, distance from target) jet of air applied to a hypersensitive tooth. According to this analog scale hypersensitivity scores for the stimulated tooth is 0, 1, 2 or 3(The lower the score, the lower the hypersensitivity). 0=No subject response to stimulus, 1=responds but will continue, 2=responds and moves or requests discontinuation, 3=Painful response to stimulus, discontinuation requested.

    Measured: 12 weeks (Final)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Arginine/Calcium Carbonate and Mint Prophy paste - Fluoride free in people with Hypersensitivity, run by Colgate Palmolive at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Dec 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Tooth Hypersensitity to Touch Stimuli (Tactile) (time frame: 12 weeks (Final)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Dec 2013.
