About this study

Official title: Effect of 1.5% Potassium Oxalate on the Control of Tooth Sensitivity and Color Change After Home Bleaching: a Randomized, Placebo-controlled Clinical Study

This double-blind randomized clinical trial evaluated the effect of 1.5% potassium oxalate on pain sensitivity control and color change after home tooth whitening. It also evaluated the influence of potassium oxalate on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and on the degree of patient satisfaction after bleaching treatment.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Carbamide Peroxide (PC) 22%) + placebo gelOther

    Application of one drop of Polanight bleaching agent (SDI, SP, Brazil) on each corresponding tooth in a tray that was used for 45 minutes a day, for a period of twenty-one days. After the bleaching treatment, the participants were instructed to wash the trays under running water and dry them. The volunteers were instructed to apply a small amount of placebo gel, without active ingredient, with color, texture and odor similar to 1.5% oxalate gel (Painless, BM4, SC, Brazil) in the spaces related to the vestibular portions of the teeth trays, which were used for 10 minutes.

  • Carbamide Peroxide (PC) 22%) + Potassium Oxalate gel 1.5%Other

    Application of one drop of Polanight bleaching agent (SDI, SP, Brazil) on each corresponding tooth in a tray that was used for 45 minutes a day, for a period of twenty-one days. After the bleaching treatment, the participants were instructed to wash the trays under running water and dry them with absorbent paper. The volunteers applied a small amount of 1.5% potassium oxalate gel (Painless, BM4, SC, Brazil) in the spaces relative to the vestibular portions of the tray's teeth, which were used for 10 minutes.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. dentin sensitivity

    evaluation of dentinal sensitivity during treatment through a daily questionnaire, using a visual analogue scale with values from 0 to 10, with higher values indicating a worse level of pain.

    Measured: 21 days after the start of the whitening treatment

  2. dental color assessment

    Color evaluation was performed using the EasyshadeAdvanced spectrophotometer (Vita-Zahnfabrik, GE, Germany), using the CIE L*a*b* system.

    Measured: 21 days and 1 month after the bleaching treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Carbamide Peroxide (PC) 22%) + Potassium Oxalate gel 1.5% in people with Dentin Sensitivity, run by Universidade Federal do Para at 1 site in Brazil.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

dentin sensitivity (time frame: 21 days after the start of the whitening treatment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Dec 2024.
