View clinical trials related to Dentine Hypersensitivity.
Filter by:Dentin hypersensitivity is a common problem in society. Untreated hypersensitivity affects the patient's quality of life, complicates plaque control and increases the risk of caries and periodontal disease. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of desensitizing toothpastes containing sodium fluoride, stannous fluoride, nano-hydroxyapatite, 8% arginine and calcium carbonate. Fourty eight patients with at least two teeth with positive responses to air and mechanical stimulus were included in the study and were divided into four groups. Sodium fluoride (Colgate®, Cavity Protection) in group A, stannous fluoride (Oral B® Gum Calm & Sensitivity) in group B, nano-hydroxyapatite (ApaCare®) in group C and 8% arginine and calcium carbonate combination in group D (Colgate® Sensitive Pro- ReliefTM) were used by the patients continuously for 16 weeks. Dentin hypersensitivity, by using VAS and Shiff scores and periodontal parameters were evaluated at baseline, 2nd week, 4th week and last 16th week.
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.
Background: Dentine hypersensitivity (DH) causes considerable pain and discomfort to an individual due to number of stimuli on exposed dentine. Different kinds of treatment strategies are used in the resolution of dentine hypersensitivity including the use of propolis and dentine bonding agent. No study had compared the efficacy of propolis and dentine bonding agent. Objective: The objective of the study was to find out whether there is a difference in the efficacy of Propolis and seventh generation dentine bonding agent in reducing the dentine hypersensitivity. Comparison within the groups and pairwise comparisons were also recorded in reducing dentine hypersensitivity. Methods: In this six month In- Vivo single blinded randomized clinical study, a total number of 52 patients with complain of dentine hypersensitivity were selected in two groups after taking informed consent. Group A and B received 30% ethanolic extract of propolis and dentine bonding agents respectively by a trained operator. Recordings of dentine hypersensitivity were obtained at Day 0, before and after the application of experimental agents, and also on Day 7, 15 and 30 by the principal investigator. Response was measured by Visual Analog Scale and Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 was used to analyze the data with level of significance set at p < 0.05. Friedman test was applied to see the comparison within groups and Wilcoxon Signed Rank test was used for Pairwise comparison. Mann Whitney U-Test was applied for comparison between groups.
The study will be a single-center, longitudinal, triple-masked (for participants, operators, and statistician), equal ratio, randomized non-crossover design. The study designed following the criteria described by Holland et al 1997. The current experiments will follow CONSORT guidelines and will be registered at the US National Institutes of Health (ClinicalTrials.gov). The sensitivity scores will be measured at three intervals: at baseline, at 2 weeks, and at 6 weeks. The duration of the current study estimated to be 6 weeks and will be conducted between January 2020 and March 2020. The study protocol will be submitted initially to the Ethical Committee of the Aseer Central Hospital, Aseer region, Saudi Arabia. After getting the approval and facilitation letters, the participants will be selected randomly from patients attending periodontal clinics at Aseer Dental Center, Aseer region.
The aim of this 11 study analysis was to compare the effect of bioavailable stannous fluoride (SnF2) on dentine hypersensitivity versus a positive or negative control dentifrice.
Tooth hypersensitivity due to dental erosion is one of the most common problem related to swimming in improper pH chlorinated pools. Because the teeth are exposed to acidic water for a long time, which cause the loss of dental hard tissue. Tooth hypersensitivity can lead to a negative effect on daily life such as dietary selection, maintaining optimal dental hygiene and beauty aspects. It has been found that using mouthguard while swimming can prevent the teeth directly contact to chlorinated water, so it can protect tooth structure and decrease tooth hypersensitivity. Moreover, using mouthguard with viscous products can seal the gaps between mouthguard and teeth which can help to protect tooth structure and decrease dental hypersensitivity more effectively. At present, there are many desensitizing products such as toothpaste, mouthwash and chewing gum. Desensitizing toothpaste is the most common over-the-counter (OTC) materials in desensitizing. Many research has endorsed the properties of desensitizing toothpaste that can reduce tooth tissue loss and helps to reduce tooth hypersensitivity effectively. So it can be hypothesize that when use the combination of mouthguard with desensitizing toothpaste, it might have synergistic effect on reducing tooth hypersensitivity in swimmers.
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.
A randomised, examiner blind, two treatment arm, stratified, parallel design, single-site study in subjects with at least two sensitive teeth to compare the efficacy of a test dentifrice against that of a control dentifrice in reducing dentinal hypersensitivity.
