What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
CSPR ToothpasteDrug
a commercially available 8% arginine toothpaste
Colgate Dental Cream ToothpasteDrug
a commercially available fluoride toothpaste
| Study group | Role | What they receive |

| Test Toothpaste | Experimental | Subjects will be instructed to brush their teeth with their assigned teeth dentifrice and toothbrush twice daily Receives: Drug: CSPR Toothpaste |
| Control toothpaste | Active comparator | Subjects will be instructed to brush their teeth with their assigned teeth dentifrice and toothbrush twice daily Receives: Drug: Colgate Dental Cream Toothpaste |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Tactile Sensitivity using the Yeaple Electronic Force Sensing Probe
Tactile sensitivity will be assessed by use of Sensing Probe Yeaple Electronic Force Sensing Probe, Model 200A. Sensitivity will be defined by a score in the range of 10-50 gms. of force.
Measured: baseline, 3 day, 4 weeks, 8 weeks
Air Sensitivity using the Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale
The air will be directed at the exposed buccal surface of the sensitive tooth air delivered by a standard dental unit syringe at a measured temperature of 19-21°C (70°F[± 3°F].
Measured: baseline, 3 day, 4 weeks, 8 weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing CSPR Toothpaste and Colgate Dental Cream Toothpaste in people with Sensitivity, Tooth, run by Colgate Palmolive at 1 site in China.
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 9 inclusion and 9 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 19 Mar 2026. 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 China. 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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
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?
Tactile Sensitivity using the Yeaple Electronic Force Sensing Probe (time frame: baseline, 3 day, 4 weeks, 8 weeks). 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 19 Mar 2026.
