Brief summary
The main aim of this study is to investigate the ability of an experimental dentifrice containing 5 percent (%) potassium nitrate (KNO3), 1% alumina and 5% sodium tripolyphosphate (STP), to maintain tooth color and reduce extrinsic dental stain accumulation following peroxide tooth bleaching compared to a regular fluoride dentifrice.
Detailed description
This will be a randomized, single-blind, single-center, controlled, two arm, stratified (clinically diagnosed dentine hypersensitivity \[DH\] \[Yes/No\]), parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy of an experimental dentifrice containing 5% KNO3, 1% alumina and 5% STP, to maintain tooth color and reduce the accumulation of extrinsic tooth stain following peroxide tooth bleaching compared to a regular fluoride-containing dentifrice. The study will recruit generally healthy participants who wish to undergo peroxide tooth bleaching. Sufficient participants will be screened to randomize approximately 160 participants to study treatment to ensure approximately 128 evaluable participants complete the study.
