Phototherapy Using Er,Cr:YSGG Laser as a Definitive Treatment for Dentin Hypersensitivity: A Systematic Review

Abstract: Purpose To assess the efficacy of Er,Cr:YSGG lasers in reducing dentine hypersensitivity (DH). Methods Electronic literature were searched through various databases (MEDLINE, SCOPUS, ProQuest, LILACS and EBSCO) up to March 2022 for articles addressing the following focused question: “In patients with dentine hypersensitivity, does an Er,Cr:YSGG laser provide a better outcome in terms of pain reduction than other dentine desensitizer agents?”. The literature was searched… Show more

“…The results obtained with the Nd: YAG laser align with our findings involving the 1064 nm laser, suggesting that regardless of laser type, it is the wavelength that fundamentally influences interaction with dentinal tubules. Additionally, a systematic review by AlHabdan et al [36] proposed that using the Er, Cr:YSSG laser can effectively alleviate DH with minimal side effects when appropriate settings are applied [36]. However, consensus on the definitive efficacy of lasers for DH management remains elusive.…”

“…The Er,Cr:YSGG laser has been used for the treatment of DH, and several studies has reported its effectiveness [40][41][42][43][44][45]. AlHabdan et al [40] suggested, in a systematic review, that the application of an Er,Cr:YSSG laser is effective in alleviating DH and may have limited adverse effects if adequate parameters are followed [40]. However, not all data suggest the presence of clear evidence on the effectiveness of lasers in DH treatment.…”
