Background:
Dentinal hypersensitivity is a common problem and there is a growing interest in herbal based formulations for the treatment of oral diseases. This study was conducted to assess the efficacy of a commercially available novel herbal dentifrice in reduction of dentinal hypersensitivity.

Sensitivity scores for controlled air stimulus and cold water were recorded at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks.
Results:
The test group was found to be significantly better compared to the placebo group at the end of 6 and 12 weeks in reduction of dentinal hypersensitivity.
Conclusions:
