background and aims . the aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical desensitizing effects of potassium nitrate and strontium acetate in reduction of hypersensitivity. materials and methods . thirty eight patients who presented dental hypersensitivity were selected and randomly allo-cated into two groups. group i: patients who were treated by potassium nitrate 5% foam, and group ii: patient...

Evidence suggests that patients suffer the painful symptoms of dentine hypersensitivity when dentine is exposed and the dentinal tubule system is opened to the oral cavity to allow stimuli to trigger a neural response in the pulp via a hydrodynamic mechanism. The processes needed to localise lesions of dentine hypersensitivity include loss of enamel and/or gingival recession. Whilst tooth brush...

the aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to investigate the effect of a new iranian toothpaste and a commercially available toothpaste containing desensitizing agent (5% potassium nitrate) on dentine hypersensitivity in a 24-week study.fifty healthy volunteers, who had at least two sensitive root surfaces, completed the study period. the participants were randomly given one of t...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to estimate and compare the incidence of dentin hypersensitivity among men and women in an adult population who required replacement of missing tooth/teeth with a fixed partial prosthesis (FPD). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study population included 124 subjects (62 men and 62 women), who visited the out-patient department in need of FPD for replacement ...

AIM To determine the prevalence of different etiological factors of dentin hypersensitivity in patients and to provide information on their association with dentin hypersensitivity. METHODS AND MATERIALS Twenty-nine patients (17 male, 12 female) suffering from pain of dentin hypersensitivity were recruited to participate in the study. A relevant history was taken and dentin hypersensitivity c...

introduction: dentin hypersensitivity is one of the most common complications that affect patients after periodontal therapy. recently low level laser therapy has been introduced as a new treatment modality and has produced beneficial results. the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of low level laser therapy toothbrushes in reduction of dentin hypersensitivity. methods: in this pil...

OBJECTIVE A randomized, double blind, split mouth, controlled clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of two desensitizing agents on reduction of Dentin Hypersensitivity (DH). MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY A sample of 73 teeth from 13 patients, among which at least 3 teeth had dentin hypersensitivity, was randomly allocated into 3 treatment groups: Group A: treated with 30% ethenolic e...

OBJECTIVE This clinical study aimed to evaluate effectiveness of a commercially available toothpaste containing potassium nitrate, sodium monoflurophosphate, and nano-hydroxyapatite as well as antioxidants phloretin, ferulic acid and silymarin in reducing dental hypersensitivity in adults. METHODS The clinical trial enrolled patients with a history of dentin hypersensitivity. A test toothpast...
