Summary

This study is for people with sensitive teeth and involves going to the dentist for 4 visits over 6 weeks. At each visit the dentist will look at the mouth, teeth, tongue and gums of participants, and check for sensitive teeth. During the first 2 weeks, participants will brush their teeth 2 times a day with the fluoride toothpaste provided. Then, if they qualify to continue in the study, participants will be assigned to one of two treatment groups for the last 4 weeks. Both groups will use assigned toothpaste currently sold on the market. Both groups will each have an investigative mouth rinse to use as well. Participants will have an equal chance of being assigned to any one of the three groups. For the next 4 weeks, participants will use their assigned products according to the directions provided. At Visit 1, participants will be supervised while they brush their teeth to ensure they understand the directions. They will also have supervised use of the products at Visit 2. Results will be analyzed to assess whether the mouthwashes help to reduce tooth sensitivity during the study.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Males and females at least 18 years of age in good general and oral health without any known allergy to commercial dental products or cosmetics.
  • Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document indicating the subject (or legally acceptable representative) has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study
  • Females of childbearing potential must be using a medically-acceptable method of birth control for at least one month prior to Visit 1 and agree to continue using this method during their participation in the study. Acceptable methods for this study include:
  • Abstinence
  • Birth control pills, patches, vaginal rings, implants or injections
  • Intrauterine device
  • Double barrier method (condom/diaphragm or cervical cap with spermicide)
  • Bilateral tubal ligation
  • Hysterectomy
  • Ovariectomy
  • Male partner vasectomy
  • Willingness to use the assigned products according to instructions, availability for appointments, and likelihood of completing the clinical study.
  • A minimum of 2 natural premolars, canines, and/or incisors teeth with decay-free scorable facial/buccal surfaces which must present cervical abrasion, and/or erosion and/or gingival recession.
  • A minimum of two eligible teeth (premolars, canines and/or incisors) with a Screening (-2 weeks Baseline) and Baseline cold air stimulus Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score of 40 - 80 mm on a 100 mm VAS scale, tactile sensitivity score between 10 - 30 grams after application of the Yeaple probe and a tactile (Yeaple probe) VAS of 40 -80 mm on a 100 mm VAS scale.
  • No more than two eligible teeth per quadrant each separated by 2 other teeth must be selected.
  • Absence of significant oral soft tissue pathology, based on the dentist's visual examination and at the discretion of the investigator.
  • Adequate oral hygiene (i.e. brush teeth daily and exhibit no signs of oral neglect).
  • Absence of severe marginal gingivitis, moderate/advanced periodontitis (ADA Type III, IV) based on a clinical examination and discretion of the Investigator.
  • Absence of extensive absence of extensive calculus above the gum line.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Volunteers who report history or presence of kidney disorders, kidney stones, have celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease), chronic pancreatitis, have had intestinal or weight-loss surgery, or if have stomach or intestinal problems that keep them from absorbing certain foods or nutrients.
  • Volunteers with eating disorders, uncontrolled Gastroesophageal reflux disease GERD or Acid Reflux, excessive dietary or environmental exposure to acids, or other systemic conditions that are predisposing to dentinal hypersensitivity.
  • Volunteers with chronic medical debilitating disease associated with constant or intermittent episodes of daily pain.
  • Long-term daily use (≥ 7 consecutive days) of analgesics and any other drugs that at the discretion of the Investigator would compromise the response of the hypersensitivity assessments.
  • Volunteers who have been using any home-care bleaching, whitening products or have had a professional bleaching treatment within 4 weeks of the Screening visit.
  • Use of desensitizing agents whether prescribed or over-the-counter within eight weeks prior to screening visit (any sensitivity toothpastes such as Crest Sensitivity, Sensodyne, Crest Pro-Health, Colgate Sensitivity Relief, any mouthwash and oral care products used for the treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity).
  • Volunteers who during the study will receive dental treatment which may affect their dentinal hypersensitivity condition (i.e., oral prophylaxis). Emergency treatment will be allowed.
  • Those with a known allergy to study products' ingredients.
  • Those requiring antibiotic premedication prior to invasive dental procedures.
  • Participation in a dental clinical study involving oral care products within the past 30 days.
  • Self reported pregnancy or lactation (this crite
