Method

A total of 60 patients were randomly prescribed three dentifrices after oral prophylaxis:

Group A - 5% fluorocalcium phosphosilicate (BioMin® F)

Group A

5% fluorocalcium phosphosilicate (BioMin® F)
Group B - 5% calcium sodium phosphosilicate (NovaMin™*)

Group B

5% calcium sodium phosphosilicate (NovaMin™*)
Group C - Standard dentifrice containing fluoride

Group C

Standard dentifrice containing fluoride

Subjective and thermal sensitivity was assessed using a 10-point VAS score at baseline, 15 days, 30 days and 60 days of treatment.


Conclusion

BioMin® F outperforms NovaMin™ and was the most effective agent in reducing the VAS score.

BioMin® F is an effective agent for the clinical management of dentinal hypersensitivity. BioMin® F resulted in better tubular occlusion than NovaMin™.
