Root‐dentin sensitivity following non‐surgical periodontal treatment

Abstract

The data confirm that meticulous plaque control will diminish RDS problems and that scaling and root planing procedures in periodontal therapy result in an increase of teeth that respond to painful stimuli. However, pain experiences in general appeared minor and only a few teeth in a few patients developed highly sensitive root surfaces following instrumentation.

The Prevalence of Root Sensitivity following Periodontal Therapy: A Systematic Review

“…Five studies reported on the mean of age of participants [12, 40, 41, 46, 47] whereas Uchida et al [40] failed to report any information on the age of the participants. Two studies were very similar with reported mean age in the mid 40 years old range [12, 15]. This omission may be significant if the age variable is a factor for the reported differences of DH between studies.…”

Milk as Desensitizing Agent for Treatment of Dentine Hypersensitivity Following Periodontal Treatment Procedures

“…Tammaro et al, concluded that successful periodontal treatment can be accomplished through good oral hygiene self-care measures, and by nonsurgical and surgical periodontal therapies which have unwanted side effects including gingival recession, exposure of underlying dentine following root cementum denudation with the risk of experiencing tooth sensitivity [19]. Acidic foods and drinks can change the oral environment which can dissolve the newly created smear layer [20].…”

Hipersensibilidade dentinária cervical: Uma Revisão da Literatura

“…Eventualmente, devido à retração gengival ocasionada pelo pós-operatório da raspagem, a superfície radicular e os túbulos dentinários abertos ficam expostos ao meio bucal e são submetidos a estímulos térmicos, osmóticos e elétricos, podendo conduzir uma hipersensibilidade dentinária, provocando dor ao paciente. Ao contrá-rio do controle meticuloso de placa que diminui a sensibilidade dentinária radicular 17 . A perda de esmalte dentário na ausência de recessão gengival pode envolver qualquer local do dente e é geralmente resultado da ação combinada da atrição, da abrasão e da erosão.…”
