Comparative Evaluation of Hydroxyapatite, Potassium Nitrate and Sodium Monofluorophosphate as in Office Desensitising Agents–A Double Blinded Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

چکیده
Tooth hypersensitivity due to exposed dentinal tubules is a common finding in the adult population, with as many as 1 in 7 (857%) patients attending for dental treatment [1,2]. The subjects’ evaluation of their own overall sensitivity, i.e. subject assessment, has been used frequently to measure hypersensitivity in clinical studies [3]. This assessment is done through various types of stimuli, which can be applied on the teeth to evoke a response from the patient. Patient’s own perception of overall hypersensitivity, as experienced by them, following application of various stimuli, can be reported using either a verbal rating scale (VRS) [4], or a visual analogue scale (VAS) [5].

متن کاملBlindness in Randomized Controlled Trials
In combination with randomization, blinding or masking is an important factor in randomized controlled trials (RCTs), particularly in trials that assess therapeutic effects. Here an attempt is made to explain blindness and why it is important. In clinical trials, blinding is defined as the condition imposed on a study in which study participants, health care providers and assessors collecting o...
