Evaluation of Different Non-Invasive Methods in the Treatment of Dentin Hypersensitivity Associated With Non-Carious Cervical Lesions: A Split-Mouth Clinical Study

The aim of this split-mouth clinical study is to compare the effectiveness of D Blue diode laser application and ProSylc bioactive glass powder application in reducing dentin hypersensitivity in patients with non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs). Different treatment modalities will be applied within the same participant, and changes in dentin hypersensitivity will be evaluated following treatment. The primary outcome measure will be the reduction in dentin hypersensitivity after the interventions. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the identification of effective non-invasive treatment approaches for the management of dentin hypersensitivity associated with non-carious cervical lesions.

Effectiveness of Two Different Desensitizing Dental Varnishes

Dental varnishes are commonly used to relieve dentin hypersensitivity by forming a protective film that occludes dentinal tubules and reduces fluid flow. This clinical investigation aims to compare the desensitizing effect of a fluoride containing varnish with a fluoride free placebo varnish. Primary and secondary objectives include evaluating short and long term reductions in dentinal hypersensitivity, assessing patient reported outcomes and daily experiences, and monitoring the varnish's tolerability and safety.

Hydroxyapatite-Based Home Treatment for Dentin Sensitivity in Celiac Patients

This single-center, randomized controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a home-based treatment using hydroxyapatite-based oral care products in adult patients with celiac disease who exhibit enamel demineralization and dentin hypersensitivity. Forty patients will be enrolled and randomly allocated into two parallel groups. The control group will perform home oral hygiene using only a hydroxyapatite-based toothpaste (Biorepair® Total Protection) twice daily. The trial group will follow the same regimen with the toothpaste, but will also apply a hydroxyapatite mousse (Biorepair® Plus Intensive Enamel Repair) once every evening before bedtime throughout the study period. The primary objective is to assess the reduction in dentin hypersensitivity using the Schiff Air Index. Secondary outcomes include changes in plaque accumulation (Plaque Index), gingival bleeding (Bleeding on Probing), pain perception (Visual Analogue Scale), and caries experience (DMFT and DMFS indices). Enamel demineralization will be analyzed through near-infrared transillumination (DIAGNOcam), laser fluorescence (DIAGNOdent), and digital image analysis (ImageJ software). All clinical parameters will be evaluated at baseline and after 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. The study seeks to determine whether the addition of a remineralizing mousse to daily oral care provides superior benefits in reducing sensitivity and improving enamel integrity in patients with celiac disease.

Diode Laser Plus CPP-ACPF vs CPP-ACPF Alone for Dentin Hypersensitivity

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of diode laser photobiomodulation combined with CPP-ACPF varnish versus CPP-ACPF varnish alone in reducing dentin hypersensitivity. Participants diagnosed with dentin hypersensitivity will receive either the combined treatment or varnish application alone. Pain levels will be evaluated using a standardized visual analog scale before and after treatment sessions. The results of this study may help determine whether adding diode laser therapy enhances the effectiveness of conventional varnish treatment in managing dentin hypersensitivity.

Gluma Compared With Bonding Agent for Post-operative Sensitivity Following Composite Restorations

* The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Gluma desensitizer in reducing post-operative sensitivity following composite restorations in posterior teeth. -Patients visiting OPD will be selected after fulfilment of inclusion criteria. Patients aged 18-45 meeting inclusion criteria and presenting with active primary class I carious lesions on vital molar teeth with ICDAS score 3 will be randomly assigned into two groups: -Group A: Patients will be provided with Gluma desensitizer, Universal Bonding agent and Composite restoration and -Group B: Patients will receive Universal bonding agent and Composite restoration. -The progress of treatment will be followed up immediately (baseline) and at regular follow up visits at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months. * Post-operative sensitivity will be assessed using an air stimulus and rated on a numeric rating scale for post-operative sensitivity assessment ranging from 0 to 10.

Clinical Effectiveness of Episodic Use of Bioactive Silica Based Versus in Management of Dentin Hypersensitivity (A 6m Randomized Clinical Trial)

The aim of the study to compare the clinical effectiveness of Episodic use of Bioactive Silica Based versus continuous use of fluoride based desensitizing toothpastes in management of dentin hypersensitivity (DH) of adult patients over 6m follow up and evaluating patient satisfaction regarding the treatment provided. Episodic use will be tested as it reflects the effectiveness in a clinical scenario regarding patient compliance and adherence to the treatment where some of the Egyptian patients stop the treatment once improvement occurs due to financial constraints

Evaluation of the Combined Effect of Bioactive Toothpastes, Desensitizing Agents and Er-YAG Laser on Dentin Hypersensitivity: an In-Vivo Study

Here's the revised version with the corrected treatment and follow-up session schedule: \--- The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of bioactive toothpastes, desensitizing agents, and Er-YAG laser treatments in reducing dentin hypersensitivity. This study also aims to assess the safety and comparative efficiency of these treatment methods. The main research questions are: * Do bioactive toothpastes, desensitizing agents, and laser treatments individually or in combination reduce dentin hypersensitivity? * Are there any adverse effects associated with these treatments? Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups, each using a specific toothpaste (Pro-Argin, Nano-Hydroxyapatite, NovaMin, or CPP-ACP), alongside desensitizing agents, laser treatments, or a placebo. * Receive two treatment sessions: the first at baseline and the second one week later. * Attend follow-up evaluations at the 2nd week, 1st month, and 3rd month to assess dentin hypersensitivity using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and dental unit air-water sprays. Researchers will compare the outcomes across groups using statistical analyses (Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Kruskal-Wallis, and Pearson/Spearman tests) to determine the most effective approach for managing dentin hypersensitivity.

Dentin Hypersensitivity - Varnish or Laser?

Dentin hypersensitivity is a common condition described as a short and sharp pain caused by thermal, evaporative, tactile, osmotic, or chemical stimuli to exposed dentin that cannot be related to another defect or dental pathology. The variety of treatment options and products on the market might seem overwhelming. This study aims to show that laser treatments are efficient in reducing pain scores compared to a desensitizing agent (Gluma). 80 patients with at least two hypersensitive teeth will be enrolled in this study. Patients will be divided randomly into four groups (control group (Gluma), laser group 1 (2.94 µm wavelength), laser group 2 (1064 nm wavelength), laser group 3 (970 nm wavelength)). Visual Analog Scale will be measured before treatment, right after treatment, one week after treatment, one month after treatment, three months after treatment. Mixed Anova's and descriptive analysis will be used for statistical evaluation.
