Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The expected outcome is the reduction in dentin hypersensitivity in patients with non-carious cervical lesions and if there is a significant difference between the types of therapy experienced.<br><br>The method used to verify the reduction of dentin hypersensitivity in non-carious cervical lesions will be the two stimuli: evaporative stimulus - Air Jet Exposure Time (TEJA) and a tactile stimulus (ET)<br><br>After the stimulus, the patient will indicate the level of sensitivity experienced on a pain scale from 0 to 10 Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)<br><br>At the end of the therapy, the minimum reduction of one point in the scale is desired.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The expected outcome is to verify if there is an improvement in patients' quality of life, to evaluate if there is an association between non-carious cervical lesions (LCNC) and cervical dentinal hypersensitivity, to verify if desensitizing therapy is more efficient than the other and to promote a change in deleterious habits that patients may present<br><br>The methods used to evaluate secondary outcomes will be quality of life questionnaires, anamnesis evaluation and clinical data evaluation<br><br>The presentation of the parameters such as Silness & Löe Index (visible plaque index), CPOD index (caries, lost, filled, tooth measurement unit) and classification of lesion morphology and dimensions will be used to verify if there is a significant correlation between the lesions cervical lesions (LCNCs) and the type of dentin sensitivity<br><br>
