New gel could soothe sensitive teeth without the drill
NCT ID NCT07323693
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a bioactive desensitizer gel can reduce tooth sensitivity better than a standard fluoride varnish. Thirty adults with sensitive teeth received one of the two treatments, and their pain levels were tracked over 6 months. The gel works by releasing calcium and phosphate to help seal exposed dentin.
