Disease relevance of potassium nitrate

• A 37-year-old man presented to the emergency department after an attempt to self-treat his priapism with saltpeter (K+NO3) [1].
• The treatments tested were experimental pastes, gels and solutions of phytocomplexes (extracted from rhubarb, spinach and mint), an experimental paste containing 5% potassium oxalate, and two commercial toothpastes recommended for dentinal hypersensitivity (Elmex and Sensodyne) [2].
• A comparison between the occluding effects of the Nd:YAG laser and the desensitising agent sensodyne on permeation through exposed dentinal tubules of endodontically treated teeth: an in vitro study [3].
• Corsodyl, Alprox, Oral-B advantage, Florosept, Sensodyne, Aquafresh Mint, Betadine and Emoform mouthrinses were used while 50% aqueous extract of miswak (Salvadora persica) was used against Streptococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pyogenis, Streptococcus mutans, Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis [4].

High impact information on potassium nitrate

• Localization of the antibody in the lamina rara interna, lamina densa, lamina rara externa and the glomerular epithelial cell was determined by electron microscopic autoradiography according to the method of Saltpeter, Fertuck, and Saltpeter (Saltpeter MM, Fertuck MC, Saltpeter EE: J Cell Biol 72:161, 1977) [5].
• Specimens were randomly divided into five groups (n=10): G1-no brushing; G2-brushing without dentifrice; G3-brushing with Sensodyne; G4-brushing with Emoform; G5-brushing with Sorriso [6].
• OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to evaluate the tubule occluding ability of three commercial available dentifrices (Sensodyne, Emoform and Sorriso) by Scanning Electron Microscopy. METHODS: Fifty cervical areas from buccal and lingual surfaces of sound third human molars were used [6].
• Two new dentifrices, Protect and Protect with fluoride were compared clinically with Sensodyne to determine the relative ability of these three products to relieve both thermal and tactile sensitivity in sensitive dentin [7].
• The bleaching and the placebo agents were applied to human enamel dental fragments for 8 hours per day, followed by immersion for 5 minutes in a slurry solution of desensitizing dentifrices: Sensodyne (S) or Sensodyne Fluor (SF) [8].

Associations of potassium nitrate with other chemical compounds

• Tartar control dentifrices gave reductions in fluid flow rates through the dentin discs comparable to those obtained with Promise, Sensodyne, Thermodent and Denquel [9].
• Tenure Quick (aluminium oxalate), Sensodyne Sealant (ferric oxalate) and MS Coat (oxalic acid) covered the dentine surface and occluded the tubules [10].
• The hydraulic conductance (Lp or outward fluid movement) of the discs was measured before and after brushing for 2 minutes with two desensitizing dentifrices, Colgate Sensitive Maximum Strength or Sensodyne Fresh Mint, both dentifrices containing 5% potassium nitrate [11].
• The fragments were assigned in five groups according to toothpaste treatment: G1 = Rembrandt Plus with Peroxide; G2 = Crest Dual Action Whitening; G3 = Aquafresh Whitening Triple Protection; and the control groups: G4 = Sensodyne Original (without fluoride); G5 = Sensodyne Sodium Bicarbonated (with fluoride) [12].

Gene context of potassium nitrate

• Desensitizing efficacy of Colgate Sensitive Maximum Strength and Fresh Mint Sensodyne dentifrices [13].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of potassium nitrate

• The NESR test, which has previously been shown to give better clinical correlation than the PCR, demonstrated that the new formulation gave superior stain removal performance compared with both Sensodyne MultiCare and a conventional nonsensitivity formulation, and similar stain removal performance to Elmex Sensitive [14].
• Specimens were examined using stereomicroscopy to show the surface topography of the dentine substrate before and after treatment with Nd:YAG laser or sensodyne [3].
• Toothbrushing increased tubular occlusion in all cases except the Sensodyne Dentin Desensitizer treated samples [15].
