To Decrease Dentin Hypersensitivity Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effectiveness of a Bonding and a Fluoride Varnish for Long-term Dentin Hypersensitivity Treatment: a Split-mouth Randomized Clinical Trial
Objectives: The aim of this in vivo randomized clinical trial with split-mouth design was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of one in-office application of a fluoride containing varnish and in office application of a bonding resin in adult patients presenting with dentin hypersensitivity. Materials and Methods: The study cohort consisted of 38 Caucasian outpatients, giving a total of 180 teeth were treated by fluoride varnish (FV) and 160 - by bonding agent (BA). Baseline pain in FV group was slightly higher on both scales (SCHIFF and VAS). Outcome measurements were assessed one or two weeks before product application (enrollment), at baseline at the application days (end of the run-in period: T0a, T0b, T0c), and at 1 week and at 1-2-6 months after first treatment.
