• Conditions: Not Applicable

• Registration Number: KCT0009089
• Lead Sponsor: Silla University

Brief Summary

When using a microcurrent toothbrush, VAS and SAS decreased significantly over time, and the number of hypersensitive teeth also decreased significantly over time. Based on these results, the use of microcurrent toothbrushes and fluoride toothpaste should be actively promoted for patients who complain of pain due to dentin hypersensitivity symptoms, and as a preventive oral care product for dentin hypersensitivity symptoms, it should be used in dental clinical settings to treat patients with the possibility of hypersensitivity. It should be recommended to patients. , .
