Objective: The aims of the clinical study was to reveal the desensitization effect for the dentifrice with calcium glycerophosphate.
Methods: A total of 90 subjects were allocated into three groups: 30 for the experimental group, 30 for the comparison group, and 30 for the controlled group. Each group used dentifrices for 2 weeks. The calculus index, papillary marginal attached gingival index, gingival index, patient hygiene performance index, plaque index, halitosis by B&B checker, hyper-esthesia by Airblow and electrical pulp test were evaluated 4 times.
Results: Hyperesthesia by Airblow decreased in the experimental group (from 6.20 to 5.53 at week 1, 4.73 at week 2, 4.23 at week 4), comparison group (from 6.17 to 5.83 at week 1, 5.10 at week 2, 5.03 at week 4), and controlled group (from 5.97 to 5.83 at week 1, 5.67 at week 2, 5.53 at week 4). For the experimental group, statistically significant efficacy was presented from week 1, whereas it was presented from week 2 for the comparison group. Efficacy presented more rapidly in the experimental group, relieving hyperesthesia and was statistically significant at weeks 2 and 4.
Conclusion: According to those results, glycerophosphate calcium included in dentifrice may lead to more effective and rapid effects in relieving hyperesthesia, compared with previous dentifrices.
