New french tool aims to measure the real impact of sensitive teeth
NCT ID NCT06466200
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a French version of a questionnaire that measures how dentin hypersensitivity (sharp, brief tooth pain) affects people's daily lives. Researchers enrolled 216 adults across three centers in France, including people with different levels of sensitivity and a control group. Participants filled out the questionnaire and took a simple air-puff test to confirm sensitivity. The goal is to ensure the French version is accurate and reliable for use in clinics and research.
