Lasers in the Treatment of Dentin Hypersensitivity: A Review
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is a relatively common painful condition among dental problems for which several treatment options have been tested. Although many studies have been performed regarding the diagnosis and treatment of DH, dental professionals are still confused about the definite diagnosis and treatment. The use of lasers as a treatment for dentin hypersensitivity was first introduced in 1985. Laser has been investigated as one of the possible therapies to minimize pain by either obliterating dentinal tubules or promoting dental analgesia. Laser treatment in dentin hypersensitivity is an interesting and controversial issue and many investigations have been done on its mechanism of action, advantages, and disadvantages. The purpose of this overview is to summarise our current knowledge regarding laser applications for the treatment of dentine hypersensitivity.
