Clinical Trial Summary

Forty-four patients with dentin sensibility after non-surgical scaling and root planning (SRP) will be randomly included in 2 groups: Experimental Group: SRP+ Photobiomodulation (PBM) (660nm, 100W, area 0,5cm2, 200w/cm2, 30 seconds, 3 J, 6J/cm2. The primary outcome of the study will be the assessment of dentinal sensitivity after 7 days of RAR measured with the visual analog scale (VAS). The cutoff of VAS is 3. Also, it will be assessed the impact of oral health on the participant's quality of life, with the OHIP-14 questionnaire. The use of analgesics (paracetamol) will be prescribed as needed and the amount of medication will be calculated. These outcomes will be evaluated after 7 days and 1 month of application


Clinical Trial Description

Objective: To evaluate tooth sensitivity after photobiomodulation in sensitive scaling and root planning treated teeth. Study design: Randomized, controlled, double-blind split-mouth clinical trial. Methods: Forty-four patients with dentin sensibility after non-surgical scaling and root planning (SRP) will be randomly included in 2 groups: Experimental Group: SRP+ Photobiomodulation (PBM) (660nm, 100W, area 0,5cm2, 200w/cm2, 30 seconds, 3 J, 6J/cm2. The primary outcome of the study will be the assessment of dentinal sensitivity after 7 days of RAR measured with the visual analog scale (VAS). The cutoff of VAS is 3. Also, it will be assessed the impact of oral health on the participant's quality of life, with the OHIP-14 questionnaire. The use of analgesics (paracetamol) will be prescribed as needed and the amount of medication will be calculated. These outcomes will be evaluated after 7 days and 1 month of application. If the data are normal, they will be submitted to the ANOVA test - one way. Data will be presented as means ± SD and the p-value will be set to < 0.05. ;
