The aim of this pilot research project is to compare the clinical effect on dentinal hypersensitivity of three products: Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) paste with fluoride, 5000 Sodium Fluoride (NaF) dentifrice containing Tri-Calcium Phosphate (TCP), and a dentifrice containing Potassium Nitrate. The hypothesis of this study is that CPP-ACP with fluoride and 5000ppm NaF with TCP will exhibit a greater reduction in dentinal hypersensitivity compared to the control (dentifrice containing Potassium Nitrate). The results of this pilot study will validate or negate the need for a larger clinical study that may provide generalizable results for using caries-prevention products with the additional benefit of minimizing dentinal hypersensitivity.
