Efficacy of Three Desensitizing Agents to Reduce Cervical Dentin Hypersensitivity: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Introduction: Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is a commonly encountered dental complaint, management of which often challenging to dentists. It occurs when dentinal tubules are patent both at the pulpal and oral surface. widely accepted that DH affects function quality life. Thus, it necessary for dentists manage properly. Objective: The objective this study was assess efficacy VivaSens Propolis in comparison Gluma reducing cervical dentin hypersensitivity. Methods: A randomized clinical trial, double-blinded, parallel-group conducted among forty-five patients. They were randomly allocated into three different groups (n=15): (positive control), VivaSens, Propolis. Tactile evaporative methods used pain using Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) patients with abrasion, complaint score recorded preoperatively, immediately after application, one week month postoperatively. Data analyzed SPSS version 11.5 Microsoft Excel 2010. Mean NPRS scores calculated. Results: All desensitizing agents significantly reduced from baseline all subsequent follow-ups (p<0.001). Kruskal–Wallis test elicited no significant differences mean difference positive control stimuli all-time intervals (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Gluma, effective relieving DH. No statistically found follow-ups.
