Study Summary

An exploratory study investigating the direct application of potassium nitrate (KNO3) solutions of different concentrations in reducing dentine hypersensitivity.

Primary Outcome

Response to a one second application of air from a standard dental unit syringe applied to the surface of hypersensitive tooth. After each stimuli participant rated the intensity of pain on a 100 millimeter VAS, on which 0 represented "no pain" and 100 represented the" worst pain imaginable". Change from baseline was calculated as mean score at the given time point minus mean score at baseline.
