The aim of study was to compare the clinical effectiveness of 810nm laser therapy, remineralising therapy with MI PASTE PLUS� (GC), and toothbrush with Sensodyne� Repair&Protect (GSK) in cervical dentine hypersensitivity. The study was performed on 60 subjects (34 females, 24 males), with at least one tooth affected by cervical dentine hypersensitivity. The patients were randomly divided in three study groups (20 subjects for each group), related to the type of desensitizing therapy: 810nm laser therapy, remineralising therapy with gel MI PASTE PLUS�, toothbrushing with Sensodyne� Repair&Protect). The assessment of the therapy effectiveness was performed by analysis of Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale, with scores directly related to the level of dentine hypersensitivity. For laser group the scores decreased from 2.25 at baseline, at 1.35 at 3 days, and 0.2 at 7 days, with significant statistical differences at 3 days, and 7 days comparing with baseline. For MI PASTE PLUS� (GC) study group the scores decreased from 2.20 at baseline, at 1.60 at 3 days, and 1.30 at 7 days, with significant statistical differences at 3 days, and 7 days comparing with baseline. For Sensodyne� Repair&Protect (GSK) study group the scores decreased from 2.15 at baseline, at 1.90 at 3 days, and 1.45 at 7 days, with significant statistical differences at 3 days, and 7 days comparing with baseline. Low level laser therapy showed better reduction in cervical hypersensitivity, followed by the therapy using MI PASTE PLUS� (GC) gel, and by the toothbrush with Sensodyne� Repair&Protect (GSK) toothpaste.

“…Vital abutments become extremely sensitive after their preparation to stimuli as warmth, cold, pressure, and brushing may become painful [50]. Usually one the therapeutically strategies for post-operative sensitivity is the prescription of analgesic medication, aiming to ameliorate or eliminate the pain [51]. The general scientific consensus is that through occluding the exposed dentinal tubules, effectively is relieved the occasional pain of affected teeth and of vital abutments [52].…”

Vital abutments presents different degree of dentinal sensitivity (DS) after their preparation. Protective methods of dentinal wound have the purpose to fill up the dentinal tubules. The objective of the study was to assess the efficacy of three different desensitization methods applied to reduce the postoperative sensitivity of prepared vital abutments. The clinical trial included 65 patients with 251 vital abutments, divided into three groups: in the first group of 21 patients (82 vital abutments) the protection method was carried out by a desensitizer agent containing hydroxyethyl methacrylate and glutaraldehyde; in the second group of 22 patients (85 vital abutments), diode laser therapy was used; in the third group of 22 patients (84 vital abutments), associated protection method was applied, by using the same desensitizer agent and laser therapy. During the study, all selected patients used the same toothpaste for at-home desensitization, containing 5% calcium sodium phosphosilicate (CSPS). The evaluation of the painful intensity of DS in vital abutments after desensitization was realized by using a Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) and by evaluating the failure rate. The results of study showed that after desensitisation, the DS of vital abutments has decreased in all three groups, but the highest desensitization rate with the most reduced rate of failures was found in the third group of patients, with associated therapies. The efficiency of the applied desensitization methods have been confirmed.

“…In the conditions in which the mother presents a high caries risk often highlighted in many specialized studies [13,14] and evaluated according to criteria for establishing it, this method is highly recommended. Prevention is aimed at all age groups, but the numerous studies on geriatric patients orally rehabilitated complex orient us towards the indication and application of these materials as early as possible [15].…”

Disadvantages of diacrilic composite resins and glass ionomers cements have stimulated research to develop hybrid materials to eliminate the downsides and take advantage of their benefits. The purpose of this study was comparative analysis of a resin composite and hybrid materials compomers sealing material used in preventive sealing by Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).
