Erosive Tooth Wear, Dentin Hypersensitivity and Associated Risk Factors: An Observational, Cross-Sectional, Multi-Site, Epidemiological Study in the U.S." IU IRB# 28041
Indiana University
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn about tooth wear and tooth sensistivity and reasons for these conditions in five locations throughout the United States. The main question it aims to answer is: The main objective of this study is to determine tooth wear and tooth sensitivity in adults in the U.S., and to investigate their association with risk factors
Description
The primary goal of this observational, cross-sectional, multi-site epidemiological study is to determine the prevalence of erosive tooth wear (ETW) and dentin hypersensitivity (DH) in healthy adults of different age brackets in the U.S., and to investigate their association with risk factors. A secondary goal is to assess gingival recession (GR) and presence of non-carious cervical lesion (NCCL). A tertiary goal is to compare the U.S. data with those from previous studies conducted in Europe and China. Study participants will be healthy dentate adults aged 18 or older, recruited from clinics…
