Dentin Hypersensitivity - Varnish or Laser?

Dentin hypersensitivity is a common condition described as a short and sharp pain caused by thermal, evaporative, tactile, osmotic, or chemical stimuli to exposed dentin that cannot be related to another defect or dental pathology. The variety of treatment options and products on the market might seem overwhelming. This study aims to show that laser treatments are efficient in reducing pain scores compared to a desensitizing agent (Gluma). 80 patients with at least two hypersensitive teeth will be enrolled in this study. Patients will be divided randomly into four groups (control group (Gluma), laser group 1 (2.94 µm wavelength), laser group 2 (1064 nm wavelength), laser group 3 (970 nm wavelength)). Visual Analog Scale will be measured before treatment, right after treatment, one week after treatment, one month after treatment, three months after treatment. Mixed Anova's and descriptive analysis will be used for statistical evaluation.
