“…However, at the end of the 60th day, the efficacy of fluoride varnish had started to decrease, but diode laser continued to show significant efficacy in lowering DH. A similar result was reported in a study conducted by Jain PR et al 10 on the comparison of fluoride varnish and laser, as well as in a clinical trial conducted by Aghanashini S et al, 11 which indicated a drop in VAS score when compared to fluoride and laser. Low-power laser therapy for DH is an effective treatment option for promoting biomodulatory effects, reducing pain, and decreasing inflammatory processes.…”

One of the most commonly faced clinical problems is dentinal hypersensitivity (DH).It's a "enigma" that's "often met yet seldom comprehended." It is defined as a sensation of discomfort caused by exposed dentine in response to heat, chemical, tactile, or osmotic stimulation. It appears to be a common ailment, with estimates ranging from 4% to 74 percent of the population.The study aimed in evaluating the efficacy of sodium fluoride varnish, dentine bonding agent and diode laser in treating dentine hypersensitivity in vitro and in vivo.The research was split into two parts: in vitro and in vivo. In the in vitro study, 40 anterior teeth were extracted and separated into four groups: control, group A (fluoride varnish), group B (dentine bonding agent), and group C (laser), all of which were studied under a scanning electron microscope. For the in vivo part 30 patients aged 20-50 years with the chief complaint of sensitivity to hot and cold were selected from the outpatient department (OPD) of Seema Dental college and Hospital. The patients were divided into 3 groups, group A(fluoride varnish), group B (dentine bonding agent) group C (laser).At the end of 3 months, there was a statistically significant difference seen in mean VAS and VRS scores between Group A, Group B, and Group C; additionally, the mean of dentinal tubules in the SEM study (In vitro) was seen to be significantly higher in the Control group compared to Group A and Group B, and significantly higher than Group C.According to the findings of this study, all three treatment methods, sodium fluoride varnish, dentine bonding agent and laser are efficient in reducing dentine hypersensitivity in both in vivo and vitro studies, with laser showing better outcomes.

“…In However, the Biomin ® group showed a better clinical response at the end of 4 weeks when compared with others. Aghanashini et al [12] conducted a randomized clinical trial using diode laser and fluoride varnish for the treatment of DH. DH was evaluated using tactile stimulus and air blast at baseline, 15 days, 30 days and 60 days.…”

Introduction: Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is the most common concern faced by most dentists in their day-to-day clinical practice. It is characterized by short-term, acute pain of variable intensity, which occurs in response to thermal, tactile, osmotic or chemical stimuli that cannot be attributed to any other type of defect or dental decay. Casein phosphopeptide varnish is a newer material used to treat dentinal hypersensitivity as it reduces demineralization and promotes remineralization. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of casein phosphopeptide based varnish (MI Varnish®) vs sodium fluoride-based varnish (Fluoritop SR® varnish) in treating dentinal hypersensitivity. Materials and methods: 40 subjects with a chief complaint of DH were divided into two equal groups, Group A (MI varnish®) and Group B (Fluoritop SR® varnish). Scaling and root planing was done and sensitivity was assessed using Visual analog scale (VAS) at baseline. On the 14th day, sensitivity was reassessed using VAS. The data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using students‘t’ test. Results: On intragroup comparison, VAS scale showed a statistically significant difference for both the groups. On intergroup comparison, no statistical difference was found between both groups. (p = 0.139) Conclusions: From the above results, it can be concluded that MI varnish® and Fluoritop SR® varnish are equally efficacious in reducing dentinal hypersensitivity.

Background: There are a number of different substances and treatments that are effective in mitigating the negative effects of tooth bleaching. It is essential, however, to consider whether or not the presence of these factors affects the efficiency of the bleaching agent.Aim: The purpose of this study is to determine how the pretreated enamel with a Neodymium-Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Nd:YAG) laser affects the bleaching effect of hydrogen peroxide at a concentration of 35%.Methods and materials: Thirty samples were prepared from human-extracted permanent anterior teeth and stained using a tea solution. Based on the pre-treatment protocol, the samples were split into two equal groups (n = 15): In Group I, samples were submerged in saline solution for five minutes, while in Group II, Nd:YAG laser treatment was performed. Following pretreatment, samples from both groups were bleached with 35% hydrogen peroxide. Colour analysis of all samples was done before and after bleaching using a spectrophotometer. For the colour analysis, the CIE L*a*b* (Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage) System of colour measurement was used. For statistical analysis, Student t-tests (two-tailed, unpaired) were used to compare the means of two groups on a continuous scale.Results: Samples from both groups became lighter in colour following bleaching. After bleaching, there was no discernible difference in the total colour change between the two groups. Conclusion:The application of the Nd:YAG laser before bleaching did not influence the whitening efficacy of 35% hydrogen peroxide.
