About

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.

Full 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).

Enrollment: 69 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

• Periodontal surgery for the last 3 months,
• Use of desensitizing toothpaste or mouthwash in the last 3 months,
