This study will be a single centre, randomised, controlled, examiner-blind, 3 treatment arm, parallel group design study, stratified by maximum baseline Schiff sensitivity score (of the 2 selected 'test teeth'), with a treatment period of 8 weeks, to investigate the clinical efficacy of a SnF2 dentifrice in the reduction of DH in a Chinese population. The SnF2 test dentifrice will be compared to commercialised negative and positive control dentifrices. Participants will be instructed to brush teeth with their assigned dentifrice according to the product use instructions provided. DH assessments will be conducted at Baseline, 4 and 8 weeks. Participants will also be requested to complete a short-form version of the Dentine Hypersensitivity Experience Questionnaire (DHEQ-15) at the Baseline and Week 8 Visits.
The purpose of this study is to support long-term dentinal hypersensitivity (DH) relief claims of 0.454 percent (%) stannous fluoride (SnF2) containing toothpastes in China.
