What is being measured

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

  1. Adjusted Mean Percent Net Erosion Resistance (NER) of Enamel Specimens Exposed to Test Dentifrice + Test MR Relative to: 1) Test Dentifrice+ Sterile Water Rinse 2) Reference Dentifrice+ Sterile Water Rinse 3) Placebo Dentifrice+ Sterile Water Rinse

    Enamel specimens were exposed to dietary erosive challenge and set of five indentations within each specimen was measured. Decrease in the indentation length compared to the baseline indicates hardening of enamel surface. Enamel specimens were exposed to second erosion challenge to determine NER which compared the indentations values of enamel specimens at baseline (B), first erosive (E1) and second erosive challenge (E2). Percent NER was calculated by formula: [(E1-E2)/ (E1-B)]*100. Smaller the negative NER, better is treatment regimen in imparting resistance to enamel.

    Measured: Baseline, 4 hours post treatment in each treatment period

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adjusted Mean Percentage Surface Microhardness (SMH) Recovery of Enamel Specimens Exposed to Test Dentifrice + Test MR Relative to: 1)Test Dentifrice+Sterile Water Rinse 2)Reference Dentifrice+Sterile Water Rinse 3)Placebo Dentifrice+ Sterile Water Rinse

    SMH test was used to assess mineralization status of enamel specimens using a Wilson 2100 Hardness tester. SMH was determined by measuring the length of the indentations of enamel specimens. An increase in the indentation length compared to the baseline indicates softening while decrease in the indentation length represents rehardening of enamel surface. Percent SMH recovery was calculated from indentation values of enamel specimens at baseline (B), after in-situ hardening (R) and after first erosive challenge (E1) using formula: [(E1-R)/ (E1-B)]*100.

    Measured: Baseline, 4 hours post treatment in each treatment period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sodium fluoride, Sodium monoflurophosphate and Sterile water in people with Tooth Erosion, run by GlaxoSmithKline 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 3 inclusion and 1 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 1 Jan 2015. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Apr 2013). 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?

Adjusted Mean Percent Net Erosion Resistance (NER) of Enamel Specimens Exposed to Test Dentifrice + Test MR Relative to: 1) Test Dentifrice+ Sterile Water Rinse 2) Reference Dentifrice+ Sterile Water Rinse 3) Placebo Dentifrice+ Sterile Water Rinse (time frame: Baseline, 4 hours post treatment in each treatment period). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01128972, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Jan 2015.
