Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Sensi-StopTM strips (Procter \& Gamble™) on the relief of dentinal hypersensitivity. In other words, do Sensi-StopTM strips (Procter \& Gamble™) reduce or eliminate cold sensitivity in teeth? In addition, the investigators will evaluate whether there is a difference in the Sensi-StopTM strip (Procter \& Gamble™) effectiveness when the product is placed by a dental professional compared to self-placement by the person with sensitive teeth. This product is not experimental.

Detailed description

There are two groups in this research study: 1) The Self Applied group, and 2) the Professionally Applied group. Once it is determined that interested individuals qualify to participate in the study and have determined that they want to participate, the group that participants are in will be determined. The study has been designed to ensure that 66% of the study participants receives strips that contain the active ingredient and 33% of the subjects receive strips without the active ingredient. This means that there is a 1 out of 3 chance that participants will be assigned to receive the strip(s) without the active desensitizing ingredient. At the end of your 8-week participation, if it turns out that participants received the strips without the active ingredient, they will be offered a sample pack with two strips that contain the active desensitizing ingredient for them to use at home.
