Dentinal hypersensitivity is a sharp pain occurring on exposure of the exposed dentin to various stimuli such as hot, cold, air, tactile, and chemical.
This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of three desensitizing pastes in the treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity.
A total of 45 individuals (with two teeth per patient) were considered for this study and randomly divided into three groups, Group 1: treated with 5% NovaMin-containing toothpaste, Group 2: treated with 8% arginine-containing toothpaste, and Group 3: herbal desensitizing toothpaste. Using tactile stimulus and air stimulus, the sensitivity scores were recorded on visual analog scale (VAS), immediately after paste application, then at 2 weeks, and then at the end of 4 weeks and compared.
There was a significant change in the VAS scores in Group 1 when compared to Group 2 and Group 3. Group 1 showed better reduction in the hypersensitivity in long term.
One-way ANOVA test, Tukey test, and Bonferroni test were used for statistical analysis.
Desensitizing pastes can be an effective and economical option in the treatment of the dentinal hypersensitivity.
牙本质过敏症是指暴露的牙本质受到热、冷、空气、触觉和化学等各种刺激时出现的尖锐疼痛。
本研究旨在比较三种脱敏牙膏治疗牙本质过敏症的效果。
本研究共纳入45名个体(每位患者两颗牙齿),随机分为三组,第1组:使用含5%诺瓦敏的牙膏治疗;第2组:使用含8%精氨酸的牙膏治疗;第3组:使用草本脱敏牙膏。使用触觉刺激和空气刺激,在涂抹牙膏后立即、2周后以及4周结束时,通过视觉模拟量表(VAS)记录敏感性评分并进行比较。
与第2组和第3组相比,第1组的VAS评分有显著变化。第1组在长期内对过敏症的缓解效果更好。
采用单向方差分析、Tukey检验和Bonferroni检验进行统计分析。
脱敏牙膏在治疗牙本质过敏症方面可能是一种有效且经济的选择。
