Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

% Surface Micro Hardness Recovery (SMHR; Comparison of 1150 Ppm Fluoride and 5% KNO3 Dentifrice Relative to a Fluoride Free Placebo Dentifrice to Enhance Remineralization of Enamel)
After 4 hrs following single exposure of treatment

The %SMHR was calculated to assess the changes in mineralization status of enamel specimens. The mean indent length (micrometer) from five Knoop microindentations within each specimen was measured at baseline (B), after the first erosive challenge (E1), and after 2 and 4 hours intraoral phase (R). An increase in the indentation length compared to the baseline indicates softening of the enamel surface while decrease in the indentation length represents re-hardening of enamel surface. The %SMHR was calculated as : %SMHR = \[(E1-R)/(E1-B)\]\*100. Greater values of %SMHR indicate that greater remineralization has occurred, thus higher values are more favorable.

Interventions

NameTypeDescription
0.254% w/w sodium fluoride and 5% KNO3DRUGDentifrice containing 0.254% w/w sodium fluoride (1150 ppm fluoride) and 5% KNO3; plus 0.25% PVM/MA copolymer and 2.5% sodium lactate. Participants will brush it on the buccal surfaces of their natural teeth for 25 timed seconds and then swish the resulting toothpaste slurry around the mouth, without further brushing, for a timed period of 95 seconds. After expectorating the slurry, the participants will gently rinse their mouths with 15 millilitres \[mL\] of tap water for 10 seconds before expectorating again.

Frequently asked questions about 0.254% w/w fluoride and 5% KNO3

What is 0.254% w/w fluoride and 5% KNO3 used for?

0.254% w/w fluoride and 5% KNO3 is an investigational toothpaste combination being studied for the treatment of tooth erosion. It is a small molecule product developed by GSK plc (GSK). The active ingredients are fluoride and potassium nitrate, which are intended to help protect tooth enamel from erosive damage.

Who makes 0.254% w/w fluoride and 5% KNO3?

GSK plc (ticker: GSK) is the developer of 0.254% w/w fluoride and 5% KNO3, an investigational toothpaste for tooth erosion. The company is conducting clinical research to evaluate the product's effectiveness in reducing enamel erosion.

What phase is 0.254% w/w fluoride and 5% KNO3 in?

0.254% w/w fluoride and 5% KNO3 is in Phase 3 clinical development for tooth erosion. It is an investigational product and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. One Phase 3 trial has been completed, with no active trials currently ongoing.

What clinical trials is 0.254% w/w fluoride and 5% KNO3 in?

0.254% w/w fluoride and 5% KNO3 was studied in a completed Phase 3 clinical trial, NCT03296072, titled "In Situ Erosion Study to Investigate the Effectiveness of an Experimental Toothpaste." This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolled 62 healthy adult volunteers in the United States.

Is 0.254% w/w fluoride and 5% KNO3 the same as Sensodyne?

0.254% w/w fluoride and 5% KNO3 is an experimental toothpaste formulation containing fluoride and potassium nitrate, ingredients commonly found in sensitivity toothpastes. However, it is an investigational product and not marketed under the Sensodyne brand. GSK plc develops both, but this specific combination is still in clinical trials.
