Abstract
Introduction: Dentin hypersensitivity is one of the most common presenting symptoms in dental practice. It may range from mild discomfort to severe pain affecting the person. Laser desensitization has been introduced as a useful tool for the treatment of hypersensitivity. Gluma Dentin Bond is an adhesive system, where the primer contains 5% glutaraldehyde and 35% hydroxyethyl methacrylate. Practitioners have reported a strong desensitizing effect of the Gluma® system on dentin
Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the clinical effectiveness of Diode laser and Gluma ®desensitizing agent in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity.
Materials and Methods: 24 patients aged between 20 and 50 years was included to assess tooth sensitivity, a controlled air stimulus (evaporative stimulus) was used. Sensitivity was measured using a 10-cm Visual Aanalog Scale (VAS) score. The teeth was randomly allocated to two groups i.e., Group I or II using the lottery method.
Results: Gluma® showed a statistically significant reduction in the VAS score as compared to diode laser 1, 2- and 4-weeks follow-up period (p < 0>
Conclusion: The result of the present investigation revealed that application of Gluma® resulted in better control dentin hypersensitivity as compared to diode laser.
Keywords: Dentinal hypersensitivity, Diagnosis, VAS score, Gluma, Laser
