background dentin sensitivity is one of the most important problems in dentistry. enamel loss due to root exposure is serious issue and common exposure is one of the reasons for dentin hypersensitivity. there are different methods for solving this problem. one of the most conservative and least expensive methods is use of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (cpp-acp) paste. object...

Mucogingival surgery involving gingival reconstruction has become an integral part of current periodontal practice. Gingival recession, either localized or generalized, may beassociated with one or more surfaces, resulting in attachment loss and root exposure, which can lead to clinical and fuctional problems such as poor esthetic, poor plaque control and root hypersensitivity etc. Miller’s Cla...

The aim of this study was to compare different treatments for dentin hypersensitivity in a 6-month follow-up. One hundred and one teeth exhibiting non carious cervical lesions were selected. The assessment method used to quantify sensitivity was the cold air syringe, recorded by the visual analogue scale (VAS), prior to treatment (baseline), immediately after topical treatment, after 1 week, 1,...

要 旨:象 牙質知覚過敏症 は,日 常 の臨床 で しば し ば遭 遇す る 疾患で あ り,し かもそ の病理 な らび に処置法はま だ 十分 に 明 らか にされ ていない為,著 者は,知 覚過敏症の本態 を知 り,同 時 に適確 な 処 置法 を知 る目的で,そ の特徴的症状(自 発痛 の欠如 と誘 発痛の持続 性が短い こ と)を 中心 に臨床的 ならび に組織学的検索 を行 な った。 その結果,知 覚過敏状態 は 露出象牙質全面 に 起 るものでな く,知 覚過敏部 は 点状 また は小帯状 (Spot or Area)を な して局在す ることを知 った。 その知 覚過敏 部 と歯髄 ・口腔粘膜 の電気抵抗値 を 測定 す ると多 くの場合15kΩ か ら50kΩ であ り,知 覚過敏 の訴 えのない象牙質露出部 の800kΩ と に明か な差 がみ られた。 象牙質...

The Chinese Journal of Dental Research The characteristics of DH can be understood by dental practitioners based on the diagnosis, management and treatment of the condition. This means conditions that present symptoms mimicking DH must be ruled out. This definition provides challenges for dentists given that they must consider other potential causes for pain associated with tooth sensitivity. I...

This study compared the efficacy of conventional treatments for dentin hypersensitivity (DHS) and hypnotherapy. During a 1-month period at an urban practice in a service area of approximately 22,000 inhabitants, all patients were examined. A total of 102 individuals were included in the evaluation. Values of 186 teeth were analyzed. The comparison of the different treatment methods (desensitize...

BACKGROUND Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is a frequent condition in adults and difficult to treat. The aim of this single-blind, randomised controlled clinical trial was to investigate immediate and long-term effect of ozone treatment (Prozone, W&H NORDIC AB) for 12 seconds on hypersensitive teeth compared to placebo treatment, using a split-mouth design. METHODS 26 patients (12 M, 14 F, mean ...
