Evaluation of the clinical efficacy of Potassium Nitrate desensitizing mouthwash and a toothpaste in the treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity.
Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2012Co-Authors: Sunita Sharma, Neetha J. Shetty, Ashita UppoorAbstract:Potassium Nitrate has been used as a desensitizing agent to treat dentinal hypersensitivity. The effectiveness of a Potassium Nitrate is evaluated both in the form of a toothpaste and a mouthwash in a clinical study. Thirty patients were assessed using evaporative stimuli and thermal stimuli and response was evaluated using Visual Analogue Scale at baseline, at 2 weeks and 4 weeks. The patients were divided into group I: fifteen patients who used toothpaste containing 5% Potassium Nitrate, sodium fluoride, xylitol and triclo san, group II: Fifteen patients who used mouthwash containing 3% Potassium Nitrate, sodium fluoride, xylitol and triclosan . The results of both the assessment methods indicated that Potassium Nitrate toothpaste as well as mouthwash showed statistically significant decrease in the sensitivity score on a Visual Analogue Scale. This was effective in reducing the symptoms of dentinal hypersensitivity when used either as toothpaste or as a mouthwash. But, there were no statistically significant differences between the groups, although both were effecti ve in the treatment of hypersensitivity.

Efficacy of a 3% Potassium Nitrate Desensitizing Mouthwash in the Treatment of Dentinal Hypersensitivity
Journal of periodontology, 2001Co-Authors: Richard Pereira, Vijay Kumar ChavaAbstract:Background: Potassium Nitrate has been used previously in a dentifrice or gel to alleviate dentinal hypersensitivity. The aim of this study was to compare a 3% Potassium Nitrate/0.2% sodium fluoride mouthwash with a 0.2% sodium fluoride control mouthwash in a 6-week double-blind study. Methods: Fifty subjects were evaluated using 2 tactile methods and cold air sensitivity (dental air syringe), along with subjective perception of pain (0 to 10 scale) at baseline and at 2 and 6 weeks. Results: There was a general decrease in dentinal hypersensitivity levels in both groups over the 6-week study period as demonstrated by all 4 methods of assessment. There was also a statistically significant difference in decrease in sensitivity between the groups. Conclusions: This study showed that a 3% Potassium Nitrate/0.2% sodium fluoride mouthwash appears to have therapeutic potential to alleviate dentinal hypersensitivity.
