Overview
Brief Summary
This study aim is to determine the efficacy of two Oral Hygiene Regimens in the reduction of dentin hypersensitivity on subjects undergoing non-surgical periodontal treatment, over a period of 8 weeks.
Detailed Description
This study aim was to determine the efficacy of two Oral Hygiene Regimens in the reduction of dentin hypersensitivity on subjects undergoing non-surgical periodontal treatment, over a period of 8 weeks. The study was conducted in Piracicaba Dental School, Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil, using a double-blind/two treatment design. Sixty subjects (30 per group) that meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria were assigned to the groups: Test group (Non-surgical periodontal treatment + In-office application of Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief - CSPR + tooth brushing with at home CSPR toothpaste) and Control group (Non-surgical periodontal treatment + In-office application of a fluoride-free prophy paste + tooth brushing with a Colgate Cavity Protection Toothpaste). Air blast sensitivity assessments were used to compare the efficacy of the two approaches using both the Schiff scale. The sensitivity parameters were measured at baseline, 1, 4 and 8 weeks.
