Nano dentistry primarily focuses on the utilization of biomaterials in treatment oral conditions, aiming to enhance overall health. The application nanoparticles various aspects healthcare, such as managing dentin hypersensitivity, eliminating bacterial biofilm, diagnosing and treating malignancies, bone replacement, is expanding. Nanoparticles possess unique physical chemical properties, allow...

Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is viewed by individuals as an important health problem and it is reported by the patient as a sharp pain caused by different external stimuli in dentin exposure. Objective: To describe the best approaches for DH treatment, mainly in cases with no clinically significant loss of tooth structure. Review: Several different approaches (in office and at home) have been p...

Subepithelial connective tissue grafting can be used for root coverage,1 to increase the amount of keratinized tissue2 and to decrease root sensitivity.3 The maxillary tuberosity is reported to have thicker soft tissue than the hard palate and may therefore be a suitable donor source for connective tissue graft.4 In the case described here, subepithelial connective tissue harvested from the tub...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Nd:YAP laser to seal dentinal tubules at different parameters. MATERIAL AND METHODS 24 caries-free human wisdom impacted molars were used. The crowns were sectioned transversally in order to totally expose the dentin. The smear layer was removed by a 1 min application of EDTA. Each surface was divided into four quadrants, but...

introduction: various methods have been used for the treatment of dentine hypersensitivity such as dentifrices, sealants and different types of lasers. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of neodimium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet (nd:yag) laser in association with graphite on the dentin morphologic changes. methods: in this experimental in vitro study, 16 freshly extracted third molars...

Aim: Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is a health condition with variable prevalence rates, affecting large portion of the population, especially young adults. This study aimed to verify level knowledge on subject both dentistry professionals and students general population. Methodology: An exploratory-descriptive quantitative analysis was carried out using digital form released via social media be...
