Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time 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
| Measure | Time 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 | — |
