Experimental Oral Rinse 1 (1.5% w/w KOX, 0ppm F, pH 7.0)ExperimentalParticipants will apply a strip of standard fluoride toothpaste to cover the full head of the toothbrush and brush their teeth for one timed minute and expectorate. They will then rinse with 20ml of tap water (using the dosing cap provided) for 10 seconds and expectorate, then rinse with 10ml of the experimental oral rinse 1 (using the second dosing cap provided) for one timed minute and expectorate. No further rinsing will be allowed. This regimen will be performed twice daily for 8 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Schiff Sensitivity Score at Week 8 (Treatment 1 and 2 Versus [vs.] Placebo)

    Schiff sensitivity score was assessed by participant's response to an evaporative (air) stimulus after the stimulation of each individual tooth, response of participant was scored using Schiff sensitivity scale range of 0-3; 0=Participant does not respond to air stimulation; 1=Participant responds to air stimulus but does not request discontinuation of stimulus; 2=Participant responds to air stimulus and requests discontinuation or moves from stimulus; 3= Participant responds to stimulus, considers stimulus to be painful, and requests discontinuation of the stimulus.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 8

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change From Baseline in Schiff Sensitivity Score at Week 8 (Treatment 1 vs. Treatment 2)

    Schiff sensitivity score was assessed by participant's response to an evaporative (air) stimulus after the stimulation of each individual tooth, response of participant was scored using Schiff sensitivity scale range of 0-3; 0=Participant does not respond to air stimulation; 1=Participant responds to air stimulus but does not request discontinuation of stimulus; 2=Participant responds to air stimulus and requests discontinuation or moves from stimulus; 3= Participant responds to stimulus, considers stimulus to be painful, and requests discontinuation of the stimulus.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 8

  2. Change From Baseline in Schiff Sensitivity Score at Week 4

    Schiff sensitivity score was assessed as participant's response to an evaporative (air) stimulus after the stimulation of each individual tooth, using scale range of 0-3; 0=Participant does not respond to air stimulation; 1=Participant responds to air stimulus but does not request discontinuation of syimulus; 2=Participant responds to air stimulus and requests discontinuation or moves from stimulus; 3=Participant responds to stimulus, considers stimulus to be painful, and requests discontinuation of the stimulus.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 4

  3. Change From Baseline in Tactile Threshold at Week 4 and 8

    Pressure was administered using a constant pressure probe (Yeaple Probe). The constant pressure probe allows the examiner to vary the force applied to the dentine surface from 10 g to an upper threshold of 80g in increments of 10 g. The tactile threshold is the maximum pressure applied without the participant reporting pain or discomfort. The tactile threshold for each tooth was determined by asking the participant whether the sensation caused discomfort. The pressure setting at which the participant gave two consecutive 'yes' responses was recorded as the tactile threshold. The greater the tactile threshold, the less sensitive the tooth.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4 and 8

  4. Change From Baseline in Visual Rating Scale (VRS) at Week 4 and 8

    Participants rated the intensity of their response to the evaporative (air) stimulus using a 10 point VRS. The subjects were asked to rate their pain on a scale of 1 ("No Pain") to 10 ("Intense Pain").

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4 and 8

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Experimental Oral Rinse 1 (1.5% w/w KOX, 0ppm F, pH 7.0) and Experimental Oral Rinse 2 (2.0% w/w KOX, 45ppm F, pH 4.5) in people with Dentin Sensitivity, 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 8 inclusion and 21 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 27 Aug 2018. 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 9 Mar 2017). 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?

Change From Baseline in Schiff Sensitivity Score at Week 8 (Treatment 1 and 2 Versus [vs.] Placebo) (time frame: Baseline and Week 8). 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 27 Aug 2018.
