Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
An exploratory study investigating the direct application of potassium nitrate (KNO3) solutions of different concentrations in reducing dentine hypersensitivity.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: Participants to apply 5% potassium nitrate solution to a single sensitive tooth for two minutes, in each of the five day treatment period. arm 2: Participants to apply 2.5% potassium nitrate solution to a single sensitive tooth for two minutes, in each of the five day treatment period. arm 3: Participants to apply sterile water to a single sensitive tooth for two minutes, in each of the five day treatment period.

Interventions: intervention 1: 5% Potassium nitrate intervention 2: 2.5% Potassium nitrate intervention 3: Sterile water
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: 5% potassium nitrate solution intervention 2: 2.5% potassium nitrate solution intervention 3: Sterile water
