First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether dissolvable mineral-loaded starch strips can quickly relieve dentin hypersensitivity, a common condition causing sharp pain from hot, cold, or touch. 82 adults with sensitive teeth used either the strips or a Novamin toothpaste. The goal was to see if the strips reduce pain better than the toothpaste.
