Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage Surface Microhardness Recovery (%SMHR) of Sound Enamel Specimens Exposed to NaF Toothpaste (1450ppmF) and NaF Toothpaste (1400ppmF)
Baseline to 14 days

SMH test was used to assess mineral status of partially demineralized enamel specimens using 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/demineralization while decrease in the indentation represents rehardening/ remineralization of enamel surface. Percent SMHR was calculated from indentation values of enamel specimens at baseline(B); after intra-oral exposure(R) on Day 14; and after in-vitro demineralization(D) on Day 14 using formula \[(D-R)/(D-B)\]\*100.

Frequently asked questions about NaF/ KNO3/isopentane Dentifrice

What is NaF/KNO3/isopentane dentifrice?

NaF/KNO3/isopentane dentifrice is an investigational toothpaste formulation developed by GSK plc for oral care. It is being studied in the areas of caries and dental erosion, two conditions involving loss of tooth mineral. The product combines sodium fluoride with potassium nitrate and isopentane in a single dentifrice.

What is NaF/KNO3/isopentane dentifrice used for?

NaF/KNO3/isopentane dentifrice is being developed for caries and dental erosion. Caries is tooth decay caused by demineralization of enamel, while dental erosion is mineral loss from acid exposure. The formulation is intended as a remineralizing and fluoride-delivering oral care product for adults.

Who makes NaF/KNO3/isopentane dentifrice?

GSK plc, which trades under the ticker GSK, is the developer of NaF/KNO3/isopentane dentifrice. The company is studying the formulation in clinical trials of fluoride toothpastes for caries and dental erosion.

What phase is NaF/KNO3/isopentane dentifrice in?

NaF/KNO3/isopentane dentifrice is in Phase 3 development. It is investigational and has not been approved. One Phase 3 trial has been completed, and a related Phase 2 trial has also been completed.

What clinical trials is NaF/KNO3/isopentane dentifrice in?

Two completed trials have studied this dentifrice. NCT00708097 was a Phase 3 in situ caries efficacy study of fluoride toothpastes with 57 enrolled participants in the United States. NCT00752089 was a Phase 2 in situ remineralization and fluoride uptake study in dental erosion with 20 participants.

Is NaF/KNO3/isopentane dentifrice the same as NaF?

NaF is an alternative name used for NaF/KNO3/isopentane dentifrice. NaF refers to sodium fluoride, one component of the formulation, so searches for NaF in this context point to the same GSK dentifrice product.
