In order to evaluate the clinical efficacy of desensitising toothpaste, which is considered the most cost-effective and easiest treatment for most patients, the participants were asked to brush their teeth twice a day with\u00a0Colgate\u00a0Sensitive Pro-Relief toothpaste, containing 8 per cent arginine and calcium carbonate, for eight weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Comparative dental examinations at baseline, and after four weeks and eight weeks of product use found that there were no adverse effects on the oral soft and hard tissue.
