View clinical trials related to Dentin Sensitivity.
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.
Tooth whitening is one of the most indicated aesthetic procedures in dentistry and there is evidence that it interferes with aspects of patients' quality of life. However, the sensitivity, associated with the post-procedure period, challenges clinicians and researchers. The use of topic desensitizing agents could be a alternative for the control of this adverse effects of bleaching agents. The objective of this randomized clinical study, therefore, is to evaluate the effect of glutaraldehyde-based desensitizing agent associated on tooth sensitivity and tooth color after bleaching with 35% hydrogen peroxide. 25 patients will be selected divided into two groups for a double-blind and split-mouth study. Among the results it is expected: that the use of glutaraldehyde desensitizing agent helps in the control of post-bleaching sensitivity, without harming the final color obtained of patients submitted to the proposed clinical protocol.
Tooth whitening is a procedure that has been increasingly requested by patients around the world, whether at home or in office bleaching. Tooth sensitivity is the main side effect of bleaching. It have a great power to interfere negatively in the quality of life of those affected. According to the literature, about 51% of people who had at-home bleaching developed postoperative sensitivity. The objective of this clinical, randomized, double-blind study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the association of casein phosphopeptides-fluoridated amorphous calcium phosphate with photobiomodulation in the treatment of tooth sensitivity after home bleaching, with 22% carbamide peroxide and also evaluate the effectiveness of at home bleaching through color analysis. For develop this study, 50 patients will be selected, with no previous history of sensitivity, aged between 18 and 30 years. They will be divided into four treatment groups: PLACEBO group; CPP-ACPF group; LASER group; LASER+CPP-ACPF group. Home bleaching treatment will use 22% carbamide peroxide. Patients should use two hours a day for 21 days. The desensitizing treatments will be applied in four moments, according to the group of each patient: before starting the bleaching treatment; after one week of the bleaching treatment; after two weeks of whitening treatment and after three weeks of whitening treatment. Sensitivity will be assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS), where patients should daily mark their pain level (from 0 to 10) on each side of the arcade. After the 21 days of treatment, they will receive a new VAS, to evaluate if was any sensitivity will occur during 30 days after the bleaching treatment. In parallel with bleaching treatment and sensitivity treatment, the color analysis of teeth 13, 11, 21 and 23 will be performed, with the Vita Easyshade Advance 4.0 spectrophotometer, to monitor the bleaching performance, in each week. The first one will occur before starting the bleaching treatment (baseline) and a new measurement will be performed every week, together with the application of treatments for sensitivity. The collected data will be tabulated in an Excel Microsoft Windows 2010) spreadsheet and analyzed in the Jamovi 1.6.23 (The Jamovi Project, 2020) software. For inter- and intra-group analysis of sensitivity values, the Repeated Measures statistical test will probably be used. For all statistical analyses, a significance level of 5% will be adopted.
This proof of principle (PoP) study will evaluate the ability of an experimental combination toothpaste formulation to protect sensitive teeth from dentine hypersensitivity.
Cention-N(commercially available restorative material) is a cost effective restoration for posterior restorations. Post-operative sensitivity is of great concern as far as any type of restorative material is concerned. Reduction of post-operative sensitivity is still a major on-going research. Timely advancement has lead to the discovery and usage of polymer bur for reduction of excess tooth removal, and thus reduction of sensitivity. Therefore the novelty of this study is comparision of the post operative sensitivity of Cention-N(commercially available restorative material) using conventional and polymer bur using Visual Analog Scale.
This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the efficacy of Olinanoseal and Curodont D'Senz in treatment of dentin hypersensitivity.
Objective: This randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the effect of propolis with two distinct concentrations (10% and 15%), and the impact on volunteers' quality of life. Materials and methods: Volunteers meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomized and allocated into three groups: Group 1- placebo - toothpaste without active ingredient, Group 2- toothpaste with 10% propolis and Group 3. - toothpaste with 15% propolis. Number of teeth will be used as sample unit, totaling 22 teeth per group. Volunteers will receive oral hygiene instruction with guidance to brush their teeth three times a day with toothpaste corresponding to the groups in which they will be allocated for 30 days. The evaluation of dentin hypersensitivity will be performed with three (3) evaluation times: baseline (immediately before the beginning of treatment), 15 and 30 days, through tactile and evaporative stimuli, using the visual analog scale (VAS). The self-reported evaluation of the volunteers will be done through a questionnaire before the beginning and after one month with the completion of the research to determine the impact of treatment on their quality of life. The data regarding HD in VAS, if present normal distribution, will be used Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Tukey's post hoc for comparison between treatments. However, if the data show anormal distribution, Friedman to compare the different times in the same group (intra group), and Kruskal Wallis to make the comparison between groups (inter group). To evaluate the QEHD ordinal data, Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests will be used. Bioestat 5.3 (Belém, Pará, Brazil) will be used, considering an alpha level of 5%.
This double-blind randomized clinical trial evaluated the effect of 1.5% potassium oxalate on pain sensitivity control and color change after home tooth whitening. It also evaluated the influence of potassium oxalate on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and on the degree of patient satisfaction after bleaching treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes in oral health-related quality of life (OHrQoL) in participants suffering from Dentinal Hypersensitivity (DH) symptoms following the use of anti-sensitivity toothpaste for 24 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to support long-term dentinal hypersensitivity (DH) relief claims of 0.454 percent (%) stannous fluoride (SnF2) containing toothpastes in China.
