Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: To comparatively evaluate the efficacy of cyanoacrylate, LASER and LASER with cyanoacrylate in the treatment of Dentin hypersensitivity.Methods:24 subjects aged between 25-55 years with teeth hypersensitivity on contra lateral sides were selected. Group1: 4 participants were treated with cyanoacrylate on the right, LASER on the left and vice versa on the rest 4. Group 2: First 4 participants were treated with cyanoacrylate on right and LASER +cyanoacrylate on the left and vice versa on the rest 4 subjects. Group 3: 4 participants treated with LASER +cyanoacrylate on right, laser on the left and vice versa on the rest 4 subjects of the group. Hypersensitivity was measured based on Visual Analog Scale (VAS).The readings were taken preoperatively, immediate post operatively and on 10thpostoperative day. Results:Clinical observations revealed that reduction in hypersensitivity immediate post operatively and 10 days later in the sites treated with LASER were 78.571% and 59.82% respectively. Cyanoacrylate alone showed a cent percent reduction in hypersensitivity both in the immediate post operative and also after 10 days. The percentage reduction in hypersensitivity when LASER followed by cyanoacrylate application was 97.9% in the immediate post operative measurement and 97.916 % after 10 days. Conclusion:This study concludes that LASER, LASER with cyanoacrylate and Cyanoacrylate alone registered significant immediate reduction in dentin hypersensitivity. Results achieved with LASER alone was found inferior to the effect of cyanoacrylate alone and also with cyanoacrylate + LASERwhereas LASER with cyanoacrylate and cyanoacrylate alone gave almost similar reduction in dentinal hypersensitivity.
