Yun Po Zhang, Ph.D., DDS (Hon)
The objective of this eight-week, single-center, three-cell, double-blind, and randomized clinical study was to evaluate the dentin hypersensitivity reduction efficacy of three commercially available toothpastes: 1) Colgate® Sensitive Pro-Relief™ Toothpaste; 2) Sensodyne® Rapid Relief Toothpaste; and (3) Crest® Cavity Protection Toothpaste.
Upon completion of reading these articles, the clinician will be able to know that Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief Toothpaste, used twice daily, significantly reduces dentin hypersensitivity, and is significantly more effective in reducing dentin hypersensitivity than Sensodyne Rapid Relief Toothpaste and Crest Cavity Protection Toothpaste.
