Abstract
Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of 30% ethanolic extract of propolis, VivaSens, and distilled water as placebo in treating dentinal hypersensitivity. Materials and Methods: A total of 75 teeth with dentinal hypersensitivity were randomly allotted into three groups with 25 teeth in each group. Response to tactile and air stimuli was measured using verbal rating scale initially on the 1st, 14th, 28th, and 60th day, and final assessment was done on the 90th day. A statistical analysis was done using Kruskal–Wallis test and Mann–Whitney U-test for intergroup comparison and for intragroup comparison Friedman test and Wilcoxon signed-ranks test. Results: The teeth treated with the test groups showed decrease in the mean hypersensitivity values compared to control group, over a period of three months. Conclusion: It was concluded that propolis and VivaSens were effective in relieving dentinal hypersensitivity and had immediate and sustained effect.
