Patients with dentine hypersensitivity want an effective and long-lasting solution
Dentine hypersensitivity, or sensitive teeth, can have a big impact on patients’ oral health-related quality of life – affecting many aspects of day-to-day living.1-3
To achieve effective and long-lasting relief from dentine hypersensitivity*, address the cause of the problem with comprehensive occlusion technology.4,5
Patients have the chance to manage sensitive areas of the teeth, tackling a root cause of sensitivity, with Sensodyne Expert Repair. With 5% NovaMin: Innovative and effective occlusion technology

The top left SEM image shows a prepared dentine slab with open tubules – the block has been polished and acid etched to remove the smear layer.
The right-hand image shows dentine after one application of NovaMin for two minutes and subjected to an acid challenge. The majority of tubules are completely closed, and the remainder are at least partially closed.

Provides sensitivity relief in 3 days13

Significant sensitivity improvements in 3 days13
This data is from an 8-week, randomized, controlled clinical study in healthy adults (n=215) with self-reported and clinically confirmed dentine hypersensitivity (DH).
Subjects brushed twice daily with either a 5% w/w Calcium Sodium Phosphosilicate (CSPS) toothpaste (Sensodyne Expert Repair with NovaMin) or a regular fluoride toothpaste.
DH was assessed at multiple intervals—Days 3, 7, 14, 28, and 56—using evaporative (air) stimulus (Schiff sensitivity score) and tactile stimulus (Yeaple Probe).
Sensodyne Expert Repair demonstrated statistically significant reductions in sensitivity compared with the regular fluoride toothpaste as early as Day 3, with continued improvements observed through Day 56. These results were consistent across both Schiff sensitivity scores and tactile thresholds.
This short-term data supports rapid and sustained relief from DH with continued use of CSPS toothpaste.

Proven to provide long-lasting sensitivity relief and ongoing protection*
![Graph to show reduction in Schiff sensitivity score after 24 weeks of sensitive teeth treatment with Sensodyne Clinical Repair Toothpaste]()
Effective protection against the pain of sensitive teeth, and enduring relief*
This data is from a 24 week, non-comparative clinical study in healthy adults (n=75) with clinically confirmed dentine hypersensitivity (DH). Subjects brushed for 24 weeks with a non-aqueous toothpaste with 5% NovaMin and 1426ppm fluoride.;
DH was assessed at intervals over the 24-week period in response to evaporative (air) stimulus (Schiff sensitivity score) and a tactile stimulus.
All sensitivity measures demonstrated clinically significant ongoing reductions compared with baseline over the 24-week period.
This long-term data demonstrates ongoing efficacy over 6 months with twice daily brushing, associated with improved oral health-related quality of life.1,6

Clinically proven improvements in oral health-related quality of life
![Graph to show improvement in oral health-related quality of life following treatment for dentine hypersensitivity]()
Long-term data demonstrated improved oral health-related quality of life with twice daily brushing6
This is from the same 24 week study. The dentine hypersensitivity experience questionnaire (DHEQ) was used to assess changes in subject-perceived DH before and during treatment in addition to traditional DH pain scores. These measures are indicative of oral health related quality of life (OHrQoL).
DHEQ measures demonstrated ongoing improvements in OHRQoL across the extended study period.

More comprehensive occlusion than many other occluding toothpastes in vitro7
![Image of dentine tubules after treatment with toothpaste]()
Our NovaMin technology was significantly better than other occluding technologies tested in vitro7
This in vitro study used human and bovine dentine discs which were etched with 1% citric acid to remove the smear layer and then brushed with the tested toothpaste slurry for 2min and stored in artificial saliva for 12 hrs.
Scanning Electron Micrograph images were taken of the treated dentine samples. For details of the study and occlusion results click here.

Forms a resilient reparative layer, harder than dentine8-11
![A graph to demonstrate the hardness of occlusive layers formed by Sensodyne Expert Repair Toothpaste compared to dentine.]()
Provides a robust layer for sensitive teeth
In vitro studies have shown the hydroxyapatite-like layer formed with NovaMin is harder than dentine and highlight that the mechanical properties of the layers formed by desensitising agents are different.11
The graph is from a recent study showing the layer hardness on human dentine blocks following 4 days of twice-daily brushing for 30 seconds. Following each brush, samples were immersed in a 1:3 paste: artificial saliva (AS) slurry for 30 seconds. Layer hardness was measured by nano-indentation using a unique liquid cell set up to characterise the layers on a nanoscale level to avoid the substrate effect and to keep the dental tissue hydrated to provide a better mimic of in vivo conditions. A positive change from baseline is indicative of the surface becoming harder through the experiment.11
After four days of treatment Sensodyne Expert Repair with NovaMin produced a significantly harder layer (p <0.05) compared to other occluding technologies. This layer was also 76% harder than the dentine control, which was statistically significant (p <0.05).11
Sensodyne Expert Repair with NovaMin forms an occlusive layer, which is harder than natural dentine, over vulnerable areas of sensitive teeth for strong repair.

Forms a reparative hydroxyapatite-like layer which is resistant to everyday oral challenges8-12
Return resilience to sensitive teeth
In a recent in vitro study, human dentine block samples were brushed twice daily for 4 days, for 30 seconds each time, then immersed in a 1:3 Paste: artificial saliva slurry for an additional 30 seconds. SEM images were taken to confirm layer formation.11
After the hardness of the layers was measured (by nanoindentation as described previously) the dentine discs from all treatment groups were exposed to 1% citric acid (pH 3.8) for 2 minutes. The layer hardness was measured again, and samples were reimaged with SEM to evaluate the resistance of the occlusive layers that had formed by each toothpaste to an acid challenge.
We see in the SEM images dentine treated with artificial saliva and that treated with Expert Repair. After 4 days of brushing with Expert Repair, the tubules were occluded by the formation of a protective layer. After acid challenge the SEM shows that the layer formed by the NovaMin is still present.
Sensodyne Expert Repair with NovaMin generates a protective mineral layer over exposed dentine to help protect from the pain of sensitive teeth. This reparative mineral layer is resistant to everyday oral challenges.
The same study also showed that Sensodyne Expert Repair forms a reparative layer that is significantly more resistant to acid challenge than certain other occluding technologies.
