A comparative clinical evaluation of Herbal and synthetic dentifrices in dentinal hyper-sensitivity

Background:
 Dentin hypersensitivity could be defined as a short, sharp pain arising from exposed dentin in response to stimuli typically thermal, evaporative, tactile, osmotic, or chemical and which cannot ascribed any other form of dental defect pathology. In Ayurveda Dentinal Hypersensitivity can compared with Dantaharsha. When teeth are sensitized cold/breeze, hot, dry sour eatables have shaky feeling, the condition is called ‘Dantaharsha’. Toothpastes most widely used dentifrices for delivering over-the-counter desensitizing agents. The aim study was evaluate effect Herbal hypersensitivity. objective this prepare palatable formulation Dentifrices maintain oral health prevent pathologies
 Materials Methods:
 open-labelled, randomized, controlled study, 60 assenting patients between 18-40 years age were enrolled randomized into trial control groups, after obtaining EC approval informed consent. Those group received dentifrices, participants Synthetic dentifrices. synthetic given apply twice day 3 wks. Follow up taken second week third week.The duration treatment 21 days. Dentifrice prepared under all hygienic conditions safety precautions GMP certified pharmacy. Effect assessed by scored using VAS on air stimulus cold-water Air Blast Stimulation Schiff Cold Sensitivity Scale. Appropriate statistical tests applied data obtain results
 Results: On analysis generated through clinical assessment, improvement seen dentinal both groups. Though dentifrice showed better results than herbal one, drug exhibited promising output study. Statistically Group B shows median score blast stimulation A.
 
 Conclusion: present one. Although not disappointing. encouraging enough use further research.
