The effect of desensitizing dentifrice with or without diode laser therapy in the management of dentinal hypersensitivity of teeth with Miller’s Class I or Class II gingival recession
Journal Title: Journal of Dental Specialities - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction Dentinal Hypersensitivity DH is characterized by short sharp pain arising from exposed dentin in response to stimuli typically thermal evaporative tactile osmotic or chemical Most common modality for treatment of DH is desensitizing dentifrices through combined use of Diode laser along with desensitizing tooth paste which has shown encouraging results The present study evaluated and compared the efficacy of toothpaste containing 10 Strontium Chloride SrCl2 with or without Diode laser in the treatment of DH in the teeth with Millers Class I or II gingival recessionMaterials and Method The study included patients aged 18 to 50 years with chief complaint of dentinal hypersensitivity having Millers Class I or Class II gingival recession A total of 20 sites equally and randomly divided into two groups Test group Diode SensoformSrCl2 Toothpaste and Control group SensoformSrCl2 Toothpaste Pre and Post treatment VAS for DH was recorded at baseline 7 15 30 day using air blast test for both the groups ResultPatients in both the groups reported reduced dentinal hypersensitivity However DH was significantly reduced in test group as compared to control group at all the intervals as measured using Visual analogue scale VAS Also the test group showed statistically significant decrease in VAS post treatment at baseline itselfConclusionWithin the limitations of the present study it can be concluded that combined use of desensitizing toothpaste SrCl2 and diode laser therapy can be effective in providing immediate relief from DH in patients with Millers Class I or Class II recessionKeywords Diode laser Dentinal hypersensitivity Gingival recession Visual analogue scale Strontium chloride Tactile
