View clinical trials related to Dentine Hypersensitivity.
Filter by:Background: Dentine hypersensitivity is a common oral complaint from older adults. It induces pain, affects oral hygiene practice, limits food choices and negatively affects the quality of life. Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a desensitizing agent but well-designed clinical trials are lacking. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of SDF in reducing dentine hypersensitivity in older Chinese adults. Methods: This is a double-blinded randomised clinical trial recruiting 166 healthy older adults aged 65 or over after having written consent. A trained calibrated examiner will conduct clinical examination and assess dentine hypersensitive using a blast of compressed air delivered from 3-in-1 syringe. Older adults with a tooth with a self-perceived sensitivity score (SS) of 8 or above will be recruited. They will then be block randomised to receive either 38% SDF solution or 5% potassium nitrate every 4 weeks on the exposed root surface of the most hypersensitive tooth. The visible plaque index, bleeding on probing and probing depth (mm) will be recorded on the most hypersensitive tooth. The same examiner will perform clinical examination and assess the dentine hypersensitivity using the same tools and methods at 4-week and 8-week follow-ups. The examiner and older adults will be blinded to treatment allocation. The primary outcome is the percentage of change in SS before and after intervention at 8 weeks. The secondary outcome will be the percentage of change in VPI before and after intervention at 8 weeks. Clinical significance: It will provide evidence to manage dentine hypersensitivity in older adults in clinical care.
This is a single center, randomized control. Sixty eligible subjects will be recruited into 3 study treatment groups (n=20 per group) through computerized randomization. Subjects in group 1 will be treated with 8% arginine containing paste(Colgate® Sensitive Pro-Relief™), group 2 with 5% topical fluoride varnish (Acclean) and group 3 with self-adhesive resin (Seal and protect, Dentsply). The subjects in the study will be evaluated for tactile and air-blast hypersensitivity criteria at baseline, two and four weeks.
This study aims to evaluate the longevity and efficacy of two products potassium oxalate-basedin two concentrations, 10% and 5%, by triple randomized blind clinical trial (split-mouth) . The desensitization approach (single agent) and the long-term effectiveness (baseline, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks). Data will be collected, tabulated and submitted to statistical analysis.
The aim of this study is through a double blind randomized clinical trial, evaluate the effectiveness of different clinical protocols in the reduction of dentin hypersensitivity. The desensitization approach (single agent or associated agents) and the long-term effectiveness (baseline, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks) will be evaluated. Data will be collected, tabulated and submitted to statistical analysis.
