Treatment of dentin hypersensitivity with oxalates is common, but their efficacy remains unclear. Our objective was to systematically review clinical trials reporting an oxalate treatment compared to no treatment or placebo with a dentin hypersensitivity outcome. Risk-of-bias assessment and data extraction were performed independently by two reviewers. Standardized mean differences (SMD) were estimated using random-effects meta-analysis. Of 677 unique citations, 12 studies with high risk-of-bias were included. The summary SMD for 3% monohydrogen-monopotassium oxalate(n=8 studies) was −0.71 [95% Confidence Interval: −1.48, 0.06]. Other treatments, including 30% dipotassium oxalate (n=1), 30% dipotassium oxalate plus 3% monohydrogen monopotassium oxalate (n=3), 6% monohydrogen monopotassium oxalate (n=1), 6.8% ferric oxalate (n=1) and oxalate-containing resin (n=1), also were not statistically significant different from placebo treatments. With the possible exception of 3% monohydrogen monopotassium oxalate, available evidence currently does not support the recommendation of dentin hypersensitivity treatment with oxalates.
