Dentinal hypersensitivity is much common clinical condition that exhibits intense pain or discomfort and affects Quality of Life. The condition is often characterized by sharp, intense pain or discomfort occurring in teeth with exposed cervical dentin, and has become a rising concern worldwide. Exploring new treatment options for effective management of the condition is prerequisite. A prospective, open label, two-arm, comparative study was carried out to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the test product i.e., toothpaste (containing Potassium Nitrate, Sodium Fluoride and Sodium Monofluorophosphate) on subjects with dentinal hypersensitivity. Five volunteers in group 2 were also added to compare the impact of brushing technique on product efficacy, if any. For Hot Gutta Percha and Cold Spray test, a reduction of 5.56%, 25.56%, 62.22% and 88.89% was recorded for Group 1 after 30 seconds, 15 days, 30 days and 60 days respectively. For VAS score, there was a reduction by 33.41%, 56.22%, 81.81% and 95.85% respectively. For Group 2 on the other hand, statistically not significant reduction by 10%, 30%, 50% and 100% was observed for the similar timepoints for Hot Gutta Percha and Cold Spray test. However, there was statistically significant reduction in VAS score by 32.33%, 54.67% 84.33% and 100% respectively. The results exhibited product efficacy in managing tooth sensitivity and pain. The test product also helped in protecting the enamel by reducing mean score of severity of dental erosion by 21.11% after 30 Days and 42.59% after 60 days. Subjective questionnaire based assessments demonstrated that the test product helps in pain and sensitivity reduction, teeth staining and bad breath. There was improvement in teeth appearance and strong gums after the constant use of product for specified study duration. The test product was found to be efficacious in providing fast relief from Dentinal Hypersensitivity starting from 30 seconds post-brushing and throughout the
