Patients are to fill a pain chart when using different stimuli in the dental surgery as a base line and then repeated every 7 days till the end of the test period. All groups use soft Oral B brush 2 times a day for 21 days. Dentists and patients donĂ¢Â?Â?t know which type of tooth paste is being used.
