Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of Efficacy of Experimental Gel to Foam Dentifrices in Dental Erosion (NCT NCT01657903)

NCT ID: NCT01657903

Last Updated: 2015-01-26

Results Overview

Enamel specimens were exposed to dietary erosive challenge and set of five indentations within each specimen was measured. Decrease in the indentation length compared to the baseline indicates hardening of enamel surface. Enamel specimens were exposed to second erosion challenge to determine RER which compared the indentations values of enamel specimens at baseline (B), first erosive (E1) and second erosive challenge (E2). Percent RER was calculated by formula: \[(E1-E2)/ (E1-B)\]\*100. Smaller the negative RER, better is treatment regimen in imparting resistance to enamel.

Overall
This was a 4-way crossover study. Participants brushed with 1.5 g of low relative dentine abrasivity (RDA) gel to foam toothpaste (Toothpaste 1) containing 1450 parts per million (ppm) of fluoride (F) as sodium fluoride (NaF) and 5% weight by weight (w/w) potassium nitrate (KNO3); 1.5 g of medium RDA gel to foam toothpaste (Toothpaste 2) containing 1450 ppm F as NaF and 5% w/w KNO3; 1.5 g of Marketed toothpaste (Toothpaste 3) containing 1450 ppm F as NaF and 5% w/w KNO3; and 1.5 g of placebo toothpaste containing no fluoride but 5% w/w KNO3. There was a washout period of 2 days following each treatment session. In this washout period, participants used a non-fluoridated toothpaste to ensure no carry over effect.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 4 hours post treatment in each treatment period

Population: Per protocol (PP) population: All randomized subjects who had at least one assessment of efficacy and considered unaffected by major protocol deviations, were included in analysis. Due to drop outs, there was difference in number of participants analyzed.

Enamel specimens were exposed to dietary erosive challenge and set of five indentations within each specimen was measured. Decrease in the indentation length compared to the baseline indicates hardening of enamel surface. Enamel specimens were exposed to second erosion challenge to determine RER which compared the indentations values of enamel specimens at baseline (B), first erosive (E1) and second erosive challenge (E2). Percent RER was calculated by formula: \[(E1-E2)/ (E1-B)\]\*100. Smaller the negative RER, better is treatment regimen in imparting resistance to enamel.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 4 hours post treatment in each treatment period

Population: PP population: All randomized subjects who had at least one assessment of efficacy and considered unaffected by major protocol deviations, were included in analysis. Due to drop outs, there was difference in number of participants analyzed.

SMH test was used to assess mineralization status of enamel specimens using a Wilson 2100 Hardness tester. SMH was determined by measuring the length of the indentations of enamel specimens. An increase in the indentation length compared to the baseline indicates softening while decrease in the indentation length represents rehardening of enamel surface. Percent SMH recovery was calculated from indentation values of enamel specimens at baseline (B), after in-situ hardening (R) and after first erosive challenge (E1) using formula: \[(E1- R)/ (E1-B)\]\*100. A higher percentage values indicate a better outcome.
