Effectiveness of a Bonding and a Fluoride Varnish for Long-term Dentin Hypersensitivity Treatment.
- Conditions
- To Decrease Dentin Hypersensitivity
- Interventions
- Procedure: Application of varnish fluoride desensitizing agent on buccal surfaces of exposed dentinProcedure: Application of bonding agent desensitizing agent on buccal surfaces of exposed dentin
- Registration Number
- NCT04813848

- University of Roma La Sapienza
- Brief Summary
Objectives:
The aim of this in vivo randomized clinical trial with split-mouth design was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of one in-office application of a fluoride containing varnish and in office application of a bonding resin in adult patients presenting with dentin hypersensitivity.
Materials and Methods:
The study cohort consisted of 38 Caucasian outpatients, giving a total of 180 teeth were treated by fluoride varnish (FV) and 160 - by bonding agent (BA). Baseline pain in FV group was slightly higher on both scales (SCHIFF and VAS). Outcome measurements were assessed one or two weeks before product application (enrollment), at baseline at the application days (end of the run-in period: T0a, T0b, T0c), and at 1 week and at 1-2-6 months after first treatment.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Level of Pain assessment with the Schiff Sensitivity Scale All study participants were asked to record the pain intensity score at six months after the application of the desensitizing agents A score of 0, 1, 2 or 3 was given by the participant. 0 = No subject response to stimulus, 1 = Subject response but will continue, 2 = Subject responds and moves or requests discontinuation, 3 = Painful response to stimulus, discontinuation requested.
The lower the score, the lower the hypersensitivity. Air-blast stimulus was used: the response to a jet of cold air was rated by the examiner.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Level of Pain assessment with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) All study participants were asked to record the pain intensity score at six months after the application of the desensitizing agents The level of pain was evaluated on a visual scale from 0 ("no pain") to 10 ("maximum pain").
The lower the score, the lower the hypersensitivity. Air-blast stimulus was used: the response to a jet of cold air was rated by the examiner.
