Silica toothpaste for sensitive teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a special toothpaste made with silica, a natural mineral, to see if it reduces tooth sensitivity better than another treatment. If your teeth hurt when exposed to cold air or touch, this might help you find relief over 6 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have tooth sensitivity that hurts enough to be rated at least 3 out of 10 in pain.
- A quick blast of air on your tooth makes you flinch or want it to stop (Schiff test score of 2 or higher).
- The sensitivity is due to worn enamel at the gum line (from brushing, grinding, or acid) or from receding gums exposing the tooth root.
- You are not allergic to any ingredients in the study materials, and you don't have any health problems that would interfere.
- You have not had gum surgery in the last 3 months.
- You don't have braces, major dental work, or regularly take painkillers that could affect the study.
- You have not had teeth whitening or in-office fluoride treatment in the past 6 months.
- You are not a smoker and do not have conditions like acid reflux or frequent acid exposure that could affect sensitivity.
