CLINICAL EFFICACY OF GIOMER VERSUS SODIUM FLUORIDE VARNISH FOR MANAGEMENT OF HYPERSENSITIVITY: RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRAIL

Aim: to assess the clinical effectiveness of Giomer varnish in comparison sodium fluoride reducing hypersensitivity. Methodology: Using a Split mouth design, 66 participants were enrolled. Each participant should have at least two sensitive teeth different sides same jaw, with visual analogue scale score or more. Teeth examined by using stimuli: Evaporative, thermal and tactile stimuli. Sides categorized randomly into groups according desensitizing agents used either Giomer. Degree Hypersensitivity was assessed (VAS) before application , immediately after 1 week one month later . Data analyzed Two way ANOVA, partial eta-squared, Kruskal-Wallis, Bonferroni-corrected Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney test Chi-square tests. Absolute risk, relative risk reduction 95% confidence interval. Results: Sodium exhibited high VAS T1 3.39(1.11), T2 3.21(0.99) T4 3.13(1.01) non-statistical difference between them. While T3 statistically lower 1.30 (0.9) shown this group. 3.79(1.5) followed 2.17(0.57) 2.56(1.87) 0.17(0.57) At T3, revealed it 83% 24% T4. Conclusion: is promising agent, which can replace management
