What is being measured

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

  1. Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Schiff Sensitivity Score at Week 12 (Test Dentifrice Versus [vs] Negative Control Dentifrice)

    Evaporative (air) sensitivity was evaluated using the Schiff Sensitivity Score on test teeth for each participant. After the examiner applied a standardized air stimulus, the participant's response was rated on a 0 to 3 scale, where 0 equal to (=) no response to the stimulus, 1= response to air stimulus without request for discontinuation of the stimulus, 2= response to air stimulus with request for discontinuation of the stimulus, and 3= a painful response with a request for discontinuation of the stimulus. Lower score indicated improvement. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the Baseline score from the score at indicated timepoint.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 12

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Schiff Sensitivity Score at Weeks 2, 4 and 8 (Test Dentifrice vs Negative Control Dentifrice)

    Evaporative (air) sensitivity was evaluated using the Schiff Sensitivity Score on test teeth for each participant. After the examiner applied a standardized air stimulus, the participant's response was rated on a 0 to 3 scale, where 0= no response to the stimulus, 1= response to air stimulus without request for discontinuation of the stimulus, 2= response to air stimulus with request for discontinuation of the stimulus, and 3= a painful response with a request for discontinuation of the stimulus. Lower score indicated improvement. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the Baseline score from the score at indicated timepoints.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, and 8

  2. Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at Weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12 (Test Dentifrice vs Negative Control Dentifrice)

    Evaporative (air) sensitivity was assessed on the test teeth by applying a 1-second air stimulus from a standard dental syringe. Participants rated the intensity of their response to the evaporative (air) stimulus using a 100 millimeter (mm) VAS with scores ranging from 0 mm (No discomfort) to 100 mm (Extreme discomfort; worst imaginable). Higher score indicated worse outcome (higher sensitivity). Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the value at indicated timepoints.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12

  3. Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Tactile Threshold at Weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12 (Test Dentifrice vs Negative Control Dentifrice)

    Tactile sensitivity was assessed for eligible teeth using a constant pressure probe (Yeaple probe). After each application of the stimulus, participants were asked to indicate whether they experienced any pain or discomfort (yes/no response). The pressure setting with two consecutive 'yes' responses was recorded as the tactile threshold (grams [g]). Higher tactile threshold indicated a better outcome (less sensitivity). Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the value at indicated timepoints.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12

  4. Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Schiff Sensitivity Score at Weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12 (Comparator Dentifrice vs Negative Control Dentifrice)

    Evaporative (air) sensitivity was evaluated using the Schiff Sensitivity Score on test teeth for each participant. After the examiner applied a standardized air stimulus, the participant's response was rated on a 0 to 3 scale, where 0= no response to the stimulus, 1= response to air stimulus without request for discontinuation of the stimulus, 2= response to air stimulus with request for discontinuation of the stimulus, and 3= a painful response with a request for discontinuation of the stimulus. Lower score indicated improvement. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the Baseline score from the score at indicated timepoints.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12

  5. Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in VAS at Weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12 (Comparator Dentifrice vs Negative Control Dentifrice)

    Evaporative (air) sensitivity was assessed on the test teeth by applying a 1-second air stimulus from a standard dental syringe. Participants rated the intensity of their response to the evaporative (air) stimulus using a 100 mm VAS with scores ranging from 0 mm (No discomfort) to 100 mm (Extreme discomfort; worst imaginable). Higher score indicated worse outcome (higher sensitivity). Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the value at indicated timepoints.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12

  6. Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Tactile Threshold at Weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12 (Comparator Dentifrice vs Negative Control Dentifrice)

    Tactile sensitivity was assessed for eligible teeth using a constant pressure probe (Yeaple probe). After each application of the stimulus, participants were asked to indicate whether they experienced any pain or discomfort (yes/no response). The pressure setting with two consecutive 'yes' responses was recorded as the tactile threshold (g). Higher tactile threshold indicated better outcome (less sensitivity). Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the value at indicated timepoints.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12

  7. Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in Schiff Sensitivity Score at Weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12 (Test Dentifrice vs Comparator Dentifrice)

    Evaporative (air) sensitivity was evaluated using the Schiff Sensitivity Score on test teeth for each participant. After the examiner applied a standardized air stimulus, the participant's response was rated on a 0 to 3 scale, where 0= no response to the stimulus, 1= response to air stimulus without request for discontinuation of the stimulus, 2= response to air stimulus with request for discontinuation of the stimulus, and 3= a painful response with a request for discontinuation of the stimulus. Lower score indicated improvement. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the Baseline score from the score at indicated timepoints.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12

  8. Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in VAS at Weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12 (Test Dentifrice vs Comparator Dentifrice)

    Evaporative (air) sensitivity was assessed on the test teeth by applying a 1-second air stimulus from a standard dental syringe. Participants rated the intensity of their response to the evaporative (air) stimulus using a 100 mm VAS with scores ranging from 0 mm (No discomfort) to 100 mm (Extreme discomfort; worst imaginable). Higher score indicated worse outcome (higher sensitivity). Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the value at indicated timepoints.
