COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF DENTIN HYPERSENSITIVITY: A RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIAL

This study will be a randomized, split-mouth, controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of three different agents in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity. A total of 90 teeth with dentin hypersensitivity will be included. Each patient’s mouth will be divided into three quadrants, with each receiving one of the two test agents (HIGH-POWER DIODE LASER , RESIN BASED LIGHT CURE DESENSITIZING AGENT). The third quadrant may serve as a positive control with MI VARNISH. Sensitivity levels will be assessed at baseline (T0) using standardized methods such as the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), air-blast test, or tactile test. Follow-up evaluations will be conducted at Immediately (T1),1 week post-treatment(T2) , 3 months post-treatment (T3), and after 6 months(T4) to monitor changes in sensitivity levels and compare the effectiveness of the three agents. This split-mouth design will minimize individual variability and allow for direct intra-patient comparisons of the treatments
