CONTEXT Dentinal hypersensitivity is a sharp pain occurring on exposure of the exposed dentin to various stimuli such as hot, cold, air, tactile, and chemical. AIM This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of three desensitizing pastes in the treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 45 individuals (with two teeth per patient) were considered for this stud...

Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is viewed by individuals as an important health problem and it is reported by the patient as a sharp pain caused by different external stimuli in dentin exposure. Objective: To describe the best approaches for DH treatment, mainly in cases with no clinically significant loss of tooth structure. Review: Several different approaches (in office and at home) have been p...

Many patients seek to pursue orthodontic treatment for esthetic improvement. These patients present with malalignment of the anterior teeth. There was strong correlation between the severity and extent of gingival recessions and past orthodontic treatment, it was suggested that orthodontic tooth movement may lead to gingival recession. The principal objective in the treatment of gingival recess...

he dentin hypersensitivity is a painful condition rather prevalent in the general population. There are several ways of treatment for such condition, including the low intensity lasers. The proposal of this study was to verify the effectiveness of the Gallium-Aluminum-Arsenide diode laser in the treatment of this painful condition, using a placebo as control.Materials and methods: Thirty-two pa...

at present the only available management for food allergy is avoidance; however, abstaining from allergic foods can affect the quality of life. oral immunotherapy (oit) is an efficient method for increasing tolerance towards food allergens. the aim of this study was desensitizing patients above five years of age with wheat allergy and evaluating the safety and efficacy of oit for children with ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the clinical use of the gallium-aluminum-arsenium (GaAlAs) laser at the maximum and minimum energies recommended by the manufacturer for the treatment of dentine hypersensitivity. BACKGROUND DATA Dentine hypersensitivity (DH) is a response to a stimulus that would not usually cause pain in a healthy tooth. It is characterize...

Light and heat increase the reactivity of hydrogen peroxide. There is no evidence that light activation (power bleaching with high-intensity light) results in a more effective bleaching with a longer lasting effect with high concentrated hydrogen peroxide bleaching gels. Laser light differs from conventional light as it requires a laser-target interaction. The interaction takes place in the fir...

Dentine hypersensitivity (DH) is defined as pain arising from exposed dentine and represents a distinct clinical entity. Reported cases are increasing particularly among the younger age groups and are thought to be due to acidogenic diets, destructive habits, poor tooth brushing techniques, and the increased use of tooth whitening products. Dentine exposure may be due to a number of processes, ...

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of dentine hypersensitivity (DH) and its associated etiological factors among Thai patients visiting the Faculty of Dentistry, Mahidol University, Thailand. Questionnaires were administered to 420 patients to obtain demographic information, dental history, eating habits and DH symptom data. The diagnosis of DH was established by a short, sharp pain...
