A clinical assessment of the efficacy of a stannous-containing sodium fluoride dentifrice on dentinal hypersensitivity.

Scopus: "For all 12 teeth, the experimental group had statistically significantly (p<0.03) lower sensitivity scores versus the control group at week two and weeks two and four combined.

CONCLUSION: The experimental dentifrice demonstrated significant desensitizing advantages versus the control.

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This stannous-containing sodium fluoride dentifrice provides an effective treatment for patients with dentinal hypersensitivity, significantly reducing sensitivity versus a negative control in this four-week trial."
