Tricalcium phosphate good option for reducing dentin sensitivity
Dentin hypersensitivity (DH), referred to as the "common cold of dentistry," is defined as short, sharp pain arising from the exposed dentin in response to thermal, evaporative, tactile, osmotic, or chemical stimuli that cannot be ascribed to any other form of dental defect or pathology.
Tricalcium phosphate good option for reducing dentin sensitivity suggests a new study published in the Scientific Reports
The 4-week double-blind clinical trial to manage dentin hypersensitivity (DH) using different desensitizing toothpastes was conducted. 53 participants with dentin hypersensitivity were enrolled in this trial.
The participants were randomized into 3 groups: Group N; no active ingredient-containing toothpaste (Pleasia fluoride-free), Group SC; a toothpaste containing strontium chloride (Sensodyne Original), and Group TP; a toothpaste containing tricalcium phosphate (Vussen S). They were instructed to brush their teeth manually for 3 min, 3 times per day for 4 weeks with the allocated toothpastes, and were assessed at baseline (0), 2, and 4 weeks, respectively. Schiff sensitivity score was recorded to 3 different stimuli (air-blast, cold, and acid) at each assessment.
