ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different types of dental varnishes to help manage dentin hypersensitivity, which is a painful condition that many people experience when their teeth become sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet foods. The trial will compare a new varnish called Giomer with a well-known varnish called CPP-ACP to see which one works better in reducing sensitivity. Dentin hypersensitivity is quite common, especially among young adults aged 18 to 40, with about 43% of people in this age group reporting this issue.

To participate in the trial, you need to be between 18 and 40 years old, maintain good oral hygiene, and be experiencing pain from dentin hypersensitivity in at least one tooth. Unfortunately, if you have received desensitizing treatments in the past six months, are taking anti-inflammatory medications, are pregnant, or are a smoker, you won't be eligible to join. If you qualify and decide to participate, you can expect to receive one of the two varnishes during the study and help researchers learn more about effective treatments for dentin hypersensitivity.
