“…In previous studies, authors demonstrated the possibility to occlude dentinal tubules by means of different wavelengths. Ruchi Pandey et al [37], concluded that low-level laser therapy with diode laser 810 nm at 0.5 W was able to reduce dentinal hypersensitivity [37]. Anely Oliveira Lopes et al, used different protocols combing the laser and desensitizing agents, and revealed that all treatments reduce DH [38].…”

The discomfort of patients due to dentinal hypersensitivity (DH) is one of the main challenges that dentists face in daily practice. Difficulties in DH treatment gave rise to many protocols which are currently used. The aim of this clinical study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a new protocol on the reduction of dentinal hypersensitivity with diode laser 980 nm and the application of a graphite paste. 184 patients enrolled in the study, the degree of pain was evaluated by visual analog scale (VAS), graphite paste was applied on the exposed dentine before irradiation, the application of diode laser 980 nm with continuous mode, backward motion, tangential incidence of the beam in non-contact mode and a delivery output of 1 W. Fiber’s diameter was 320 μm and total exposure time depended on the time necessary to remove the graphite paste from the teeth. Statistical analyses were performed with Prism 5® software. Pain in post-operative significantly decreased immediately after the treatment. Mean values stayed stable until a 6-month follow-up. The application is considered to be safe with long-term effectiveness.

“…The dentine sensitivity (DS) is a common dilemma in adults' population with a prevalence ranging from 8 to 57% [ 1 ] and is ascribed in routine dental practice perceived generally from the second to sixth decade of life [ 2 ]. It has a multifactorial etiology and is described clinically as an acute pain caused by excitation of A delta nerve fibers connected to exposed dentine and its tubules due to chemical, thermal, osmotic, evaporative, or tactile stimulation [ 3 ].…”

The effectiveness of remineralizing agents in reducing dentine permeability by tubule occlusion using fluid filtration device functioning at 100 cmH2O (1.4 psi) pressure and SEM/EDX analysis were evaluated and compared. Seventy (n = 70) dentine discs of 1±0.2 mm width were prepared from sound permanent human molars. Fifty (n = 50) dentine discs were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 10): Group 1: GC Tooth Mousse Plus (Recaldent GC Corporation Tokyo, Japan), Group 2: Clinpro™ White Varnish (3M ESPE, USA), Group 3: Duraphat® Varnish (Pharbil Waltrop GmbH, Germany), Group 4: Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief™ dentifrice (Colgate Palmolive, Thailand), and Group 5: Biodentine™ (Septodont/UK). Dentine permeability was measured after treatment application at 10 minutes, artificial saliva immersion at 7 days, and citric acid challenge for 3 minutes. Data were analyzed by two-way repeated measures ANOVA. Dentine specimens (n = 20) were used for SEM/EDX analyses to obtain qualitative results on dentine morphology and surface deposits. Each treatment agent significantly reduced dentine permeability immediately after treatment application and created precipitates on treated dentine surfaces. All agents increased permeability values after 7 days of artificial saliva immersion except Clinpro White Varnish and Biodentine. Clinpro White Varnish exhibited significant resistance to acid challenge compared to others. Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief dentifrice has a dual mechanism of action in reducing the dentine sensitivity.

“…It could be explained that all these studies were performed using different diode lasers, with a wide range of wavelengths of 635-830 nm and dosages of 2-10 J/cm 2 . The usage of all these parameters is acceptable and does not affect the morphology of enamel or dentine surface [12][13][14][21][22][23][24].…”

Introduction: Dentine hypersensitivity (DH) is an extensive clinical condition, which is still of need to find a long-term treatment resulting in pain reduction. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare efficacy of sodium fluoride varnish application, diode laser (810 nm) irradiation, ethanolic extract of propolis application, and combined diode laser (810 nm) irradiation with ethanolic extract of propolis application for DH reduction in periodontal maintenance patients. Material and methods: In total, 104 periodontal maintenance patients (416 teeth) completed this study. Dentine hypersensitivity was assessed using visual analogue scale (VAS). The patients were randomly divided into four groups according to the treatment: 1 group-diode laser (810 nm) irradiation, 2-application of ethanolic extract of propolis, 3-application of ethanolic extract of propolis, followed by diode laser (810 nm) irradiation, and 4 th group-sodium fluoride varnish application. The treated teeth were evaluated after treatment session and at one week, one month, three months, and six months post-operatively. The evaluations were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics, version 25.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Mean and standard deviation were calculated for each group. Wilcoxon's rank sum test and Friedman's test were used, and values of p < 0.05 were considered as statistically significant. Results: All four groups showed a significant reduction in the VAS scores immediately after treatment. The most long-term results were obtained in group with combined treatment. Conclusions: The present study demonstrates that better result has been noted in group with combined application of ethanolic extract of propolis with diode laser (810 nm) irradiation.
