Clinical Trial Summary

Here we assessed the clinical effectiveness of Gluma, fluoride varnish, and the Tetric N-Bond one-step self-etch system in alleviating DH instantly and over 1 month, after a single topical application.A randomized, double-blind, clinical trial was conducted on 55 patients (25 males, 30 females; age: 20-49 years). Seventy teeth were randomly assigned to three groups: Gluma (n = 24); fluoride varnish (n = 23); and Tetric N-Bond adhesive (n = 23). Sensitivity to tactile, air blast, and cold stimuli were investigated.. A visual analogue scale was used to assess tactile stimuli, and the Schiff Cold Scale to assess air blast and cold stimuli. DH was evaluated immediately post-treatment, and at the 2-week and 1-month follow-up. Between-group and within-group comparisons were made.

Intervention

Other:
Gluma
Gluma is desensitizing agent by (Heraeus Kulzer, Armonk, NY, USA) claimed to treat dentine hypersensitivity in exposed cervical teeth surfaces and was applied to participants using a mini brush applicator tip onto the exposed hypersensitive tooth surface requiring treatment and was allowed to dry for 60 seconds. Then Dentine hypersensitivity (DH) was assessed for tactile, cold, and air blast stimuli immediately after completion of treatment. Subjects were also recalled for re-evaluation at 2 weeks and at 1 month after desensitizing treatment.
fluoride varnish
fluoride varnish is usually applied to patients to prevent caries development but was claimed in some cases to also relief dentine hypersensitivity and was applied as a thin layer to the surface of the tooth using an applicator. The varnish set rapidly, and thereafter moisture contamination was not a concern. Patients were advised to not brush or floss their teeth for a couple of hours and to abstain from hot beverages. DH was assessed for tactile, cold, and air blast stimuli immediately after completion of treatment. Subjects were also recalled for re-evaluation at 2 weeks and at 1 month after desensitizing treatment.
Tetric N-Bond self-etch adhesive
Tetric N-Bond self-etch adhesive is one step dental adhesive and is also claimed to relief dentine hypersensitivity due to blockage of dentinal tubules. It was applied according to the manufacturer's instructions, in a thick layer, for at least 30 seconds, using a light brushing motion. Then, it was dried with a steady stream of air for 3 seconds and light-cured for 10 seconds. DH was assessed for tactile, cold, and air blast stimuli immediately after completion of treatment. Subjects were also recalled for re-evaluation at 2 weeks and at 1 month after desensitizing treatment.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Assess dentine hypersensitivity score to stimuli at Baseline Scores of DH for tactile stimulus were recorded using visual analogue scale and for cold, and air blast stimuli using the Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale 18 at baseline. Baseline before treatment
Primary Assess dentine hypersensitivity score to stimuli immediately after treatment by intervention Scores of DH for tactile stimulus were recorded using visual analogue scale and for cold, and air blast stimuli using the Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale 18 were recorded immediately after treatment with intervention and compared score to baseline. From baseline to immediately after treatment with intervention
Primary Assess dentine hypersensitivity to stimuli at two-weeks follow up after treatment by intervention Scores of DH for tactile stimulus were recorded using visual analogue scale and for cold, and air blast stimuli using the Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale 18 were recorded at two-weeks follow up after treatment with intervention and compared score to baseline and immediate treatment scores. From baseline to two-weeks follow up after treatment with intervention
Primary Assess dentine hypersensitivity to stimuli at one month follow up after treatment by intervention Scores of DH for tactile stimulus were recorded using visual analogue scale and for cold, and air blast stimuli using the Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale 18 were recorded at one month (30 days) follow up after treatment with intervention and compared score to baseline and immediate treatment, and two weeks follow up visit scores. From baseline to one month follow up after treatment with intervention
