The study is intended to verify through clinical measurement that the NUPRO Sensodyne Prophylaxis Paste with Novamin provides immediate sensitivity relief as well as extended relief up to 28 days.
It is hypothesized that the prophy paste with NovaMin(r)will give patients immediate sensitivity relief, as well as sensitivity relief up to 4 weeks (28 days) after measurement.

Immediate Sensitivity Relief. Tactile Sensitivity.
Assessment of sensitivity via tactile stimulation immediately after treatment. Tactile sensitivity measured using a Yeaple probe recording tactile pressure in grams before nerve stimulation. Point of nerve stimulation identified by patient with a "yes" response as pressure is increased in 10 gram increments. Tactile sensitivity is reported as the change from baseline after treatment.
Time frame: Immediately after treatment.
Adverse Events.
Assessment of adverse events that may occur as a result of treatment (typically includes any kind of allergic reation to paste).
Time frame: Immediately after treatment to 28 days (+/- 2 days) post treatment.
Immediate Sensitivity Relief. Air Blast Sensitivity.
Sensitivity measurements performed using a cold air blast and sensitivity scored on the four (4) point Schiff scale with 0 equal to no discomfort or awareness of sensitivity and 3 equal to severe pain from sensitive teeth. Score is reported as the change from baseline after treatment.
Time frame: Immediately after treatment.
Extended Sensitivity Relief. Tactile Sensitivity.
Assessment of sensitivity score via tactile stimulation 28 days post treatment. Tactile sensitivity measured using a Yeaple probe recording tactile pressure in grams before nerve stimulation. Point of nerve stimulation identified by patient with "yes" response as pressure is increased in 10 gram increments. Measured sensitivity is reported as difference from baseline examination.
Time frame: 28 days (+/- 2 days) post treatment.
Extended Sensitivity Relief. Air Blast Sensitivity.
Assessment of cold air sensitivity. Cold air sensitivity measurements performed using a cold air blast and sensitivity scored on the four (4) point Schiff scale with 0 equal to no discomfort or awareness of sensitivity and 3 equal to severe pain from sensitive teeth.
