BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES:The aim of the study was to evaluate the immediate efficacy of diode laser versus desensitizing paste containing 8% arginine and calcium carbonate in the treatment of dentine hypersensitivity. METHODOLOGY: 50 patients with complain of tooth hypersensitivity were randomly selected for an 8 week clinical trial with the set inclusion and exclusion criteria. Each patient was assigned to one of the two study groups: Group 1 (n=25) -8% arginine and calcium carbonate paste (Pro-Relief paste, Colgate-Palmolive Ltd, India) and Group 2 (n=25) -Diode laser(AMD, Picasso Diode, Indianapolis, Indiana), who received a baseline evaluation of tactile hypersensitivity with the help of dental explorer and an air blast hypersensitivity. The effectiveness of the therapy was assessed by VAS Scale of 10, along with the hard and soft tissue evaluation, at 4 examination periods: 1) immediately after the application of the diode laser 2) after 15 days 3) after 4 weeks & 4) after 8 weeks. RESULTS: 8% arginine and calcium carbonate showed significant results (67.27%) than diode laser (56.55%) at immediate and 4 weeks evaluation by mechanical stimulus and immediate evaluation by air stimulus. Diode laser showed highly significant results in progressive decrease in the dentin hypersensitivity till 8 weeks whereas 8% arginine showed highly significant results till 4 weeks. CONCLUSION: The immediate efficacy of 8% arginine and calcium carbonate (Colgate Pro Relief) was higher as compared to diode laser. Diode laser showed progressive reduction till 8 weeks whereas Colgate Pro Relief showed progressive reduction only till 4 weeks.

“…But the longevity of its effectiveness needs to be determined and compared with other known and accepted desensitizers including bioactive glass lasers. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] The study may be conducted in vivo to further validate the results of the present study.…”

After analyzing the full text from 24 clinical trials, 17 were excluded (Table1) because they did not fulfill all the selection criteria [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] .

AIM:To analyze the available scientific evidence on the effectiveness of laser therapy compared to the topical desensitizing agents in the treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity. Materials and methods:A broad literature search was performed using both electronic database and hand search. The databases like COCHRANECENTRAL, MEDLINE, GOOGLE SCHOLAR, EBSCO HOST, PROQUEST were used for online data search and hand search was performed in the central library of the institute to identify the relevant articles. Articles that satisfied the inclusion criteria with description of randomized clinical trials comparing lasers versus topical desensitising agents in the treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity were included. These included studies were subjected to critical analysis following the Cochrane Collaboration tool for evaluating the risk of bias. Results:The initial search resulted in 65 articles; however, 31 of these articles were excluded because they were duplicates and then 20 articles were excluded as they were not clinical trials. After analyzing the full text from 24 clinical trials, 17 were excluded because they did not fulfill all the selection criteria. Our final review included 7 studies. Of these 7 studies 1 study used Nd:YAG laser system, 4 studies used GaALAS laser, one study used Er:YAG laser and one study used both CO2 and Er:YAG laser. Among the seven studies 5 studies reported that the lasers alone or in combination with topical desensitising agents are superior over topical desensitising agents used alone. Remaining 2 studies reported that both lasers and topical desensitising agents were equally effective in reducing dentinal hypersensitivity. Conclusion:With the constraints of limited available literature lasers alone or in combination with topical desensitising agents showed promising results than topical desensitising agent alone and this desensitizing efficacy of lasers was immediate and long lasting.
