Toothpaste showdown: could stannous fluoride outperform potassium for sensitive teeth?
NCT ID NCT07738198
First seen Jul 31, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026
Summary
This trial compares a toothpaste with stannous fluoride against a popular potassium-based desensitizing toothpaste and a regular fluoride toothpaste. About 116 adults with sensitive teeth will brush twice daily for a week. The goal is to see if the stannous fluoride formula reduces sensitivity to touch and air blasts better than the others.
