Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge and management protocol of dentin hypersensitivity among dentists in the city of Bangalore. Materials and Methods: The study involved dentists from private and public sectors in city of Bangalore. The following data were requested from the surveyed dentists using an anonymous questionnaire; knowledge on triggering factor, type of pain, diagn...

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 i...

The worth of using Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) during COVID-19 pandemic has highly increased due to its low invasiveness and non-aerosolizing technique. blend silver fluoride in an alkaline solution a great action arresting active enamel dentin carious lesions, also acting as desensitizer lessen dentine hypersensitivity adults, this review article was conducted highlight the SDF mechanism act...

Dentinal hypersensitivity (DH) is among the most common problem encountered after any periodontal therapy [1]. It is defined as short, sharp pain arising from exposed dentin in response to external stimuli, which are typically thermal, evaporative, tactile, osmotic or chemical and which cannot be ascribed to any other form of dental defect or disease, Holland et al. The hyperbolic preponderance...

Nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HAp) is a biomaterial which finding increasing application in dentistry due to its osteogenic properties and biocompatibility. The aim of the present study review clinical applications nano-HAp dentistry. A literature search was performed PubMeD Scopus. In total, 154 articles were retrieved. Following title abstract analysis, 122 excluded. Further 6 excluded through fu...

Background The first line of intervention to alleviate tooth sensitivity is to use dentin desensitizers such as oxalate-based desensitizers. When the dentin sensitivity continues even after application of desensitizers the next intervention would be restoration of the lesion. The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of prior application of oxalate-based desensitizer on the m...

This study evaluated the effectiveness of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) hydrogel as a dental gel in delivering hydroxyapatite (HAp) to dentine tubules and reducing/eliminating dental hypersensitivity. The hydrogel was prepared by mixing solutions of CMC/ glycerol and distilled water/sorbitol then modified to contain 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% HAp. The pH of the hydrogels decreased and viscosity incre...

To investigate the efficacy in occluding dentin tubules of a modified calcium phosphate based solution supplemented with fluoride and zinc ions (CaP), dentine discs were separately treated with CaP and certain common desensitizing agents including potassium oxalate solution (OX), modified oxalate solutions supplemented with calcium ions (OX/Ca) or phosphate ions (OX/P) for 8 minutes, followed b...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of two desensitizing agents in the reduction of dentin hypersensitivity in a randomized, double-blind, split-mouth clinical trial. Seventy-seven teeth from 13 patients that presented some degree of sensitivity to probing and/or air stimulation were treated with one of the following desensitizing agents: Oxa-Gel (G1), Sensi Kill (G2) and placebo...
