Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change from Baseline in Schiff Sensitivity Score at Day 56
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 56
|
Evaporative air sensitivity will be assessed on facial surfaces of eligible incisor, canine and pre-molar teeth by directing a 1 second application of air from standard dental syringe held perpendicular to tooth surface.
Participant's response to the stimulus will be evaluated by the examiner using the Schiff sensitivity scale immediately following administration of the evaporative air stimulus.
Score ranges from 0-3, where 0=Does not respond to air stimulation; 1=Responds to air stimulus but does not request discontinuation of stimulus; 2=Responds to air stimulus and requests discontinuation or moves from stimulus; 3=Responds to stimulus, considers stimulus to be painful, requests discontinuation of the stimulus.
Schiff sensitivity score = Mean score for the two 'Test Teeth' selected at baseline by the examiner.
Change from baseline will be calculated by subtracting baseline score from Day 56 score.
A decrease in Schiff sensitivity score indicates an improvement.

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change from Baseline in Tactile Threshold at Day 56
Time Frame: Baseline and Day 56
|
Tactile sensitivity will be assessed for eligible incisor, canine and pre-molar teeth using a constant pressure probe (Yeaple probe).
The probe tip will be placed perpendicular to the facial surface of tooth and drawn slowly across the exposed dentine.
After each application, the participant will be asked to indicate whether they experienced any pain or discomfort (yes/no response).
The pressure setting with two consecutive 'yes' responses will be recorded as the tactile threshold in gram (g).
At baseline, the upper force setting will be 20g.
Tactile threshold (g) will be derived as the mean value for the two 'Test Teeth' selected by the examiner at baseline.
An increase in tactile threshold indicates an improvement in sensitivity.
Change from baseline will be calculated by subtracting baseline value from Day 56 value.
|
Baseline and Day 56
|

Baseline and Day 28
|
Change from Baseline in Impact on Everyday Life (Section 1 of Dentin Hypersensitivity Experience Questionnaire [DHEQ-48], Question [Q]7-9) at Days 28 and 56
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 28 and Day 56
|
DHEQ section 1, questions 7-9 are about teeth sensation and its impact on everyday life.
Participants will score Q7 (how intense are the sensations?) on a scale of 1 (not at all intense) to 10 (worst imaginable); Q8 (how bothered are you by any sensations?) on a scale of 1 (not at all bothered) to 10 (extremely bothered); Q9 (how well can you tolerate sensations?) on a scale of 1 (can easily tolerate) to 10 (can't tolerate at all).
Thus, the total score ranges from 3 to 30; where the lower score indicates less sensitivity and less impact on everyday life.
Change from baseline is defined as score at indicated post-baseline timepoints minus score at baseline.

|
Change from Baseline in DHEQ Total Score (Section 2, Q1-34) at Days 28 and 56
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 28 and Day 56
|
The DHEQ is a condition-specific measure of Oral Health-related Quality of Life (OHrQoL) in relation to DH which contains total 34 questions in section 2, each scored using a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree).
Thus, the total score ranges from 34 to 238; where the lower score indicates improvement in the symptoms.
Change from baseline is defined as score at indicated post-baseline timepoints minus score at baseline.

Time Frame: Baseline, Day 28 and Day 56
|
Restrictions domain in DHEQ evaluates the ways in which any sensations in teeth affect participant's daily life.
This contains 4 questions each scored using a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree).
Thus, the total score ranges from 4 to 28; where the lower score indicates improvement in the symptoms.
Change from baseline is defined as score at indicated post-baseline timepoints minus score at baseline.
|
Baseline, Day 28 and Day 56
|
Change from Baseline in DHEQ Adaptation Domain Score (Section 2, Q5-16) at Days 28 and 56
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 28 and Day 56
|
Adaptation domain in DHEQ evaluates 'the ways in which the sensations in teeth have forced participants to change things in their daily life'; 'things they do in their daily life to avoid experiencing the sensations in their teeth'.
This contains 12 questions each scored using a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree).
Thus, the total score ranges from 12 to 84; where lower score indicates improvement in the symptoms.
Change from baseline is defined as score at indicated post-baseline timepoints minus score at baseline.

|
Change from Baseline in DHEQ Social Impact Domain (Section 2, Q17-21) Score at Days 28 and 56
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 28 and Day 56
|
Social Impact domain in DHEQ evaluates the way the sensations affect participants when they are with other people or in certain situations.
This contains 5 questions each scored using a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree).
Thus, the total score ranges from 5 to 35; where the lower score indicates improvement in the symptoms.
Change from baseline is defined as score at indicated post-baseline timepoints minus score at baseline.

Baseline, Day 28 and Day 56
|
Change from Baseline in DHEQ Emotional Impact Domain (Section 2, Q22-29) Score at Days 28 and 56
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 28 and Day 56
|
Emotional Impact Domain in DHEQ evaluates the way the sensations in participant's teeth make them feel.
This contains 8 questions each scored using a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree).
Thus, the total score ranges from 8 to 56; where the lower score indicates improvement in the symptoms.
Change from baseline is defined as score at indicated post-baseline timepoints minus score at baseline.

Time Frame: Baseline, Day 28 and Day 56
|
Identity Domain in DHEQ evaluates what the sensations in participant's teeth mean for them.
This contains 5 questions each scored using a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree).
Thus, the total score ranges from 5 to 35; where the lower score indicates improvement in the symptoms.
Change from baseline is defined as score at indicated post-baseline timepoints minus score at baseline.

Baseline, Day 28 and Day 56
|
Change from Baseline in Global Oral Health (Section 2, Q35) Score at Days 28 and 56
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 28 and Day 56
|
Global Oral Health will be evaluated using a single question which asks about overall health of participant's mouth, teeth, and gums.
The scale ranges from 1 (excellent) to 6 (Very poor), where the lower score indicates improvement in the symptoms.
Change from baseline is defined as score at indicated post-baseline timepoints minus score at baseline.

|
Change from Baseline in Effect on Life Overall (Section 2, Q36-39) Score at Days 28 and 56
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 28 and Day 56
|
Effect on life will be evaluated using 4 questions which asks how much the sensations in teeth affect participant's life overall.
The scale ranges from 0 (not at all) to 4 (Very much) and thus, the total score ranges from 0 to 16; where the lower score indicates improvement in the symptoms.
Change from baseline is defined as score at indicated post baseline timepoint minus score at baseline.
