Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of Profluorid Varnish in patients with existing dentinal hypersensitivity in at least two teeth anterior to the molars in comparison with a placebo product over a period of six months and to reduce their symptoms. The primary parameters are the pain sensation to an air stimulus (Schiff score) and to a mechanical stimulus, represented by a Visual Analog Scale. These primary parameters are recorded at baseline and at each follow-up examination.
