Perbedaan Kemampuan Pasta Gigi Desensitisasi Komersial Dengan Bahan Aktif Hidroksiapatit Dan Novamin Dalam Penutupan Tubulus Dentin Dengan Scanning Electron Microscope

Abstract

Background: The use of commercial desensitization toothpaste is one of the way to treat dentine hypersensitivity. Desensitization tooth paste contains an active ingredient which is able to occlude the dentinal tubules to minimize the movement of fluid in the dentinal tubules which lead to dentin hypersensitivity. Desensitization toothpaste containing various kind of active ingredients for occluding the dentinal tubules. The purpose of this research was to determine the differences of desensitization tootpaste ability (Pepsodent Sensitive Expert® and Sensodyne Repair and Protect®)inoccluding dentinal tubules with different active ingredient (hydroxyapatite and Novamin).Method: The research is experimental laboratories with post test group design. The sample used was 8 dentin disc with 8 mm length and 3 mm width, the sample was divided into two groups thattreated with Pepsodent Sensitive Expert® desensitization toothpaste and the group treated with Sensodyne Repair and Protect® desensitization toothpaste. A non-parametric data analysis was carried out by MannWhitney(<0.05). Result:The result showed that there were no significant differences in the percentage of dentinal tubulesin both treatment groups.Conclusion:The conclusion of this research is both of Pepsodent Sensitive Expert® and Sensodyne Repair and Protect® desensitization tootpaste have the same ability in occluding the dentinal tubules.

Perbedaan Pengaruh Pasta Gigi Berbahan Dasar Hidroksiapatit dan Eugena caryophillus Terhadap Hipersensitifas Gigi

“…4 Pasta gigi desensitisasi yang mengandung hidroksiapatit merupakan salah satu pilihan yang kerap digunakan untuk meredakan hipersensitivitas gigi dengan cara menutup tubuli dentin melalui proses remineralisasi pada dentin yang telah terdemineralisasi. 5,6 Menutup permukaan tubuli merupakan cara yang efektif untuk menangani kondisi dentin. 7 Eugenia caryophyllus atau eugenol adalah salah satu bahan desensitisasi yang terdapat pada beberapa jenis pasta gigi di Indonesia.…”

The Potential of Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste towards the Hypersensitive Tooth

“…3 According to Mulya (2016), dentinal hypersensitivity is defined as pain that lasts for a short time and is sharp due to stimulation of exposed dentin and dentin that is not protected by enamel due to friction irritation, abrasion, crown fracture, gingival recession, and orthodontic trauma. 4 When exposed dentin is exposed to external stimuli, the fluid in the dentinal tubules undergoes inward and outward mechanical movement that triggers pain. 5 Stimuli that trigger dentin hypersensitivity can be tactile or tactile, steam, chemicals and hot or cold stimuli.…”

“…16 One of the ways that patients can treat hypersensitive dentin is by using commercial desensitizing toothpaste. 4 Toothpaste is a semiaqueous material that is used with a toothbrush to clean the entire surface of the teeth and provide a comfortable feeling in the oral cavity. 17 The ingredients of the toothpaste are expected to react with calcium ions and form crystals that can seal the dentinal tubules and prevent the flow of fluid through the tubules.…”
