Other: Gluma Desensitizer

Registration Number
NCT04887181
Lead Sponsor
Kırıkkale University
Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a self etch adhesive resin and two desensitizing agents(Calcium phosphate, 5% glutaraldehyde) in treatment of dentin hypersensitivity on the quality of life of individuals.

Detailed Description

This in-vivo study was done among 69 participants who reported at least one sensitivite tooth(Schiff Sensitivity Score \>1) as a result of the clinical examination. Participants were randomly divided into three treatment groups(n=23):

I. Tetracalcium phosphate and dicalcium phosphate containing desensitizer (Teethmate Desensitizer) II. %35 hydroxyethyl methacrylate and %5 glutaraldehyde containing desensitizer (Gluma Desensitizer) III. Self-etch adhesive resin (Hybrid Bond) These materials used in treatment of dentin hypersensitivity in 6 months clinical follow-up and the effects on the quality of life of individuals were evaluated with Dentine Hypersensitivity Experience Questionnaire (DHEQ).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale ScoresBefore treatment, immediately after treatment, 1 week, 1 month, 3 month and 6 month

Average scores based on Schiff cold air sensitivity scale after evaporative air application. The Schiff score ranges from 0 to 3. Minimum value is 0, maximum value is 3. An increase in the score from 0 to 3 indicates an increase in sensitivity.

Visual Analog Scale(VAS) ScoresBefore treatment, immediately after treatment, 1 week, 1 month, 3 month and 6 month

Average scores based on Visual Analog Scale(VAS) after applying evaporative air. The VAS score ranges from 0 to 10. The minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 10. A score of 0 is defined as "no pain" while a score of 10 is defined as "intolerable pain".

Dentin Hypersensitivity Experience Questionnaire (DHEQ) scoresChange from baseline quality of life at 6 months

Data obtained after individuals complete the Dentin Hypersensitivity Experience Questionnaire. The decrease in the measured scores over time indicates that the quality of life has improved.
