Aims:
A clinical trial which is randomized was carried out to
examine the successfulness of three agents which
reduces the Dentinal Hypersensitivity (DH).
Materials and Methods:
A total of 90 vital teeth, was distributed separately into
3 groups in accordance with response to cold air blast
and stimuli which is tactile : Group 1: treated with 10%
Propolis varnish, Group 2: treated with Diode laser (970
nm), and Group 3: treated with combination of 10%
propolis varnish and diode laser. Various measuring
scales were used to assess patients response towards
these 3 techniques. The baseline scores were obtained.
The patients were evaluated at 30 min for immediate
effect, 7th day for intermediate effect, 21st day for late
effect and scores were recorded.
Results:
Pain reduction was observed in all the 3 groups. The
VAS, NRS, VDS scores were determined, and found
that statistically significant reduction of Dentinal
Hypersensitivity in Group 3 than Group 2 and Group 1.
Conclusion:
10% propolis varnish is used along with diode laser was
seen to be statistically significant difference in
decreasing the dentinal hypersensitivity as compared to
other groups.
