Age
18 Years to 65 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Adults aged 18–65 years in good general health 2. At least one dentin-sensitive tooth with cervical or gingival recession, sensitive to tactile stimulation (10–50 g) or air stimulus (Schiff score = 2) 3. Able to attend all scheduled examinations during the 8-week study period 4. Willing to provide written informed consent

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Severe systemic or chronic diseases 2.

Current use of desensitizing toothpaste or participation in other clinical trials within the past 3 months 5. History of allergy to oral care products or ingredients

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Dentin hypersensitivity measured using the Dentin Sensitivity Index (DSI) for tactile stimulation (Yeaple probe, grams) and air stimulation (Schiff score) at baseline, immediately after brushing, and at 2, 4, and 8 weeks of toothpaste use

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The immediate desensitizing effect after a single brushing measured using the Dentin Sensitivity Index (DSI) for tactile and air stimulation at the initial visit;The sustained desensitizing effect measured using the Dentin Sensitivity Index (DSI) for tactile and air stimulation at 24 hours, following 4 weeks of use
