Objectives: To compare the long-term in vitro effectiveness of a newer desensitizing agent containing bioactive glass and two other commercial products employed for dentin hypersensitivity. Methods: Fifty occlusal dentin disks from extracted sound human third molars were treated with 0.5M ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid for 2 min then randomly divided into five groups (n=10). Specimens were bru...

Treatments that obturate dentin tubules have been used for reducing dentin hypersensitivity. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of multiple treatments with a mildly supersaturated calcium phosphate solution on the hydraulic conductance (Lp) of partially occluded dentin discs in vitro. The treatment solution contained 6.5 mmoll(-1) each of calcium and phosphate, 0.25 mmoll(...

Aim: The present study aimed to carry out a literature review about biocorrosion as an etiological factor of non-carious lesions and dentin hypersensitivity. Method: bibliographic search was performed in the PubMed Virtual Health Library (VHL)databases, selecting articles published from 2015 2020, available full text, Portuguese English, related proposed theme. Results: In studies included, it ...

A novel agarose hydrogel biomimetic mineralization system loaded with calcium and phosphate was used to remineralize dentin and induce the oriented densely parallel packed HA layer on defective dentin surface in vivo in a rabbit model. Firstly, the enamel of the labial surface of rabbits' incisor was removed and the dentin was exposed to oral environment. Secondly, the hydrogel biomimetic miner...

Background:
 Dentin hypersensitivity could be defined as a short, sharp pain arising from exposed dentin in response to stimuli typically thermal, evaporative, tactile, osmotic, or chemical and which cannot ascribed any other form of dental defect pathology. In Ayurveda Dentinal Hypersensitivity can compared with Dantaharsha. When teeth are sensitized cold/breeze, hot, dry sour eatables ha...

Objective: Tooth hypersensitivity often starts in early adulthood because of gum recession and loss of the cementum covering dentin. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of toothpaste,1 containing triclosan, potassium nitrate, zinc citrate,2 triclosan, potassium nitrate,3 calcium sodium phosphosilicate (novamin) on gingival health, plaque formation and dentin hypersensitivity in ...

OBJECTIVE THE AIM OF THIS STUDY WAS TO EVALUATE THE MINERAL CONTENT OF DENTIN IRRADIATION WITH ERBIUM: yttrium-aliminum-garnet (Er:YAG), Neodmiyum:yttrium-aliminum garnet (Nd:YAG) and potassium titanium phosphate (KTP) laser used for in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity. METHODS Six extracted wisdom, unerupted molar teeth were used in this study. The enamel of the teeth was removed wit...

The purpose of Linking Research to Clinical Practice is to present evidence based information to clinical dental hygienists so that they can make informed decisions regarding patient treatment and recommendations. Each issue will feature a different topic area of importance to clinical dental hygienists with A BOTTOM LINE to translate the research findings into clinical application.
