“…This study also supports the previous in vitro studies that have demonstrated superior tubular occlusion as evident on the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) [ 42 ]. The results of the present study were in support of previous in vitro/in vivo studies [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 41 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 ].…”

“…Numerous studies have been conducted on the use of NovaMin ® , a type of bioactive glass that contains calcium sodium phosphosilicate, to alleviate dentinal sensitivity [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ]. The brand name NovaMin ® refers to a particulate bioactive glass that was created and patented by NovaMin ® Technology, Inc. and is used in dental care products to remineralize teeth (Alachua, FL, USA).…”

“…Another study comparing NovaMin ® -containing toothpaste with other desensitizing toothpastes showed that NovaMin ® -containing toothpaste performs as well as or better than the positive control with respect to rapidly relieving tooth hypersensitivity after two weeks and six weeks of daily use [ 34 ]. There are a few studies showing the efficacy of the NovaMin ® powder applied after ultrasonic scaling followed by using the NovaMin ® toothpaste at home later [ 36 , 37 ]. A literature search shows no study mentioning the effects of a single use of NovaMin ® following ultrasonic scaling on dentinal sensitivity.…”

Dentinal hypersensitivity or cervical dentinal sensitivity is one of the commonest clinical problems. The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the effectiveness of a single chair side application of 100% pure calcium sodium phosphosilicate (NovaMin®) in reducing dentin hypersensitivity following ultrasonic scaling as evaluated on a visual analogue scale (VAS). The study included 50 subjects who were selected based on an evaluation of dentinal hypersensitivity on a VAS carried out using a metered air blast from a three-way syringe and divided into two groups (n = 25/group); i.e., the test group (Group A) received the NovaMin® paste and the control group (Group B) received a placebo paste made from pumice. All the 50 subjects included in the study were had VAS scores of 3 or more. The NovaMin® powder mixed with distilled water was applied. Dentinal hypersensitivity was reassessed immediately and after 1, 2 and 4 weeks after the procedure. Results showed that the percentage reduction of dentinal hypersensitivity following a single application of NovaMin® in powder form was about 76.38% immediately, 67.72% one week postoperatively, 52.76% two weeks postoperatively and 26.78% four weeks postoperatively. It can be concluded from the results of the current clinical study demonstrated that a single chair side application of NovaMin® in powder form has a significant and immediate reduction in dentinal hypersensitivity, which lasted nearly for four weeks.

“…The calcium and phosphate ions that are released create a Ca-P layer on the tooth's surface, which crystallizes into hydroxycarbonate apatite when the pH briefly rises. In accordance with our study, Shivaprasad BM et al (2016) concluded that NovaMin has the added advantage of chair-side application [ 26 ]. Burwell et al (2010) [ 33 ] showed that one-time brushing with NovaMin-based dentifrice significantly decreased the visible open tubules adhered to the exposed dentin surface layer.…”

Background: Dentinal hypersensitivity is a brief and painful oral condition that is characterized by an abrupt shooting sensation. Stimulation occurs when hot, cold, sweet, or sour food comes into contact with exposed dentinal tubules. The present study used a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) to investigate the efficacy of Er: YAG, 810 nm diode LASER, and NovaMin Technology in obstructing dentinal tubules. Material and methods: We extracted the outer layers of 30 human teeth to expose the tubules and then treated the surfaces with 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to create an etched effect. Three cohorts were created from the portions. Group A was subjected to the application of Erbium:Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet (Er: YAG) laser with a power output of 2W in the non-contact mode for 1 minute. Group B was subjected to the application of an 810nm diode laser with a power output of 1W in continuous mode for 30 seconds. Group C was subjected to the application of NovaMin paste, which contains a 927 ppm fluoride content. Following the therapy, occluded dentinal tubules were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) for both quantitative and qualitative examination. The data analysis was conducted using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's test, with a significance threshold of 0.05. Results: The average percentages of complete blockage of dentinal tubules in Groups A, B, and C were evaluated using the number of entirely unobstructed dentinal tubules at magnifications of 2000X (F = 3.05, p = 0.064), 5000X (F = 5.33, p = 0.011), and 10000X (F = 8.63, p = 0.001). The count of partially open dentinal tubules seen at magnifications of 2000X, 5000X, and 10000X was F = 10.15 (P < 0.001), F = 5.97 (p = 0.007), and F = 2.12 (p = 0.140) accordingly. Conclusion: NovaMin technology has demonstrated more effectiveness in blocking dentinal tubules compared to 810nm diodes and Er: YAG lasers.

“…The high calcium availability provided by CLP, a novel remineralization agent, was attributed to its high solubility and calcium stabilization by random formation of metastable complexes of calcium ions with lactate and phosphate ions. Currently, remineralizing agents like NovaMin™ (bioactive glass containing calcium sodium phosphosilicate) [27,28], Recaldent™ (CPP-ACP casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate) [27,29], Enamelon ® (containing stannous fluoride along with calcium and phosphate ions) [30] were utilized as desensitizing agents. Analogous mechanism to these remineralizing agents is expected to provide the same relief to DH as CLP pastes.…”

Introduction: The objective of this in vitro study is to evaluate the effective and long-term occlusion of dentinal tubules using a novel calcium lactate phosphate (CLP) based desensitizing agent. Methods: Dentin disks (n = 9) were pre-etched using 1 M lactic acid for 30 s and individually treated with Colgate® Pro-Relief™ paste, CLP paste, and double distilled water (ddH2O) by a rubber-cupped handpiece. Dentin disks were analyzed under optical micrographs for pre-treatment, directly after treatment, and 14 days post-treatment. One-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey’s test were used to determine whether there were any statistically significant differences in dentinal tubule diameter. Results: A significant decrease occurred in the mean tubule diameter for dentin disks treated with CLP paste. A decrease was observed from 3.52 ± 0.83 µm to 2.62 ± 0.42 µm right after treatment, further decreasing to 1.71 ± 0.45 µm after immersion in artificial saliva for 14 days (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The results suggest that the CLP based desensitizing paste has remineralization properties and provides instant and lasting effectiveness in dentinal tubule occlusion.
