ABSTRACT
Abstract The aim of this clinical, prospective, randomized, and parallel study was to evaluate different in-office treatments for dentin hypersensitivity (DH). One hundred ninety-two teeth with non-cavitated root exposures were treated using different desensitizers: fluoride varnish (Duraphat - FLU); bioactive ceramic solution (Biosilicate - BIOS); universal self-etching adhesive (Single Bond Universal - SBU); bioactive photoactivated varnish (PRG filler - SPRG). The degree of DH was analyzed using a visual analog scale (VAS) and computerized visual scale (CoVAS), before treatments and after 7, 15, and 30 days from the first session. Comparisons among desensitizers were performed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's tests. Friedman test was used to compare between times (p ≤ 0.05). Comparing desensitizers FLU presented a higher value of DH than BIOS using VAS at 7 days, however, no differences were found using CoVAS analysis. Comparing times, BIOS and SBU showed a reduction in DH after 7 days and SBU showed a reduction at 30 days compared to 7 days using VAS. FLU and SPRG groups reduced DH from 15 days to 30 days using VAS. There was a reduction in DH for FLU, BIOS, and SBU after 7 days and for BIOS this reduction also occurred at 30 days when compared to 15 days using CoVAS. SPRG group showed a reduction from 15 to 30 days. All desensitizers tested were able to reduce the initial sensitivity. The bioactive ceramic solution reduced the DH gradually after 30 days using computerized analysis.
Resumo O objetivo deste estudo clínico, prospectivo, randomizado e paralelo foi avaliar diferentes tratamentos em consultório para hipersensibilidade dentinária (HD). Cento e noventa e dois dentes com exposições radiculares não cavitadas foram tratados com diferentes dessensibilizantes: verniz fluoretado (Duraphat - FLU); solução cerâmica bioativa (Biosilicato - BIOS); adesivo autocondicionante universal (Single Bond Universal - SBU); verniz fotoativado bioativo (PRG filler - SPRG). O grau de HD foi analisado por meio da escala visual analógica (VAS) e da escala visual computadorizada (CoVAS), antes dos tratamentos e após 7, 15 e 30 dias da primeira sessão. As comparações entre dessensibilizantes foram feitas pelos testes de Kruskal-Wallis e Dunn. O teste de Friedman foi utilizado para comparação entre os tempos (p ≤ 0,05). Comparando os dessensibilizantes, o FLU apresentou um valor de HD maior do que o BIOS usando VAS aos 7 dias, no entanto, nenhuma diferença foi encontrada usando a análise CoVAS. Comparando os tempos, BIOS e SBU apresentaram redução de HD após 7 dias e SBU apresentou redução aos 30 dias em comparação com 7 dias usando VAS. Os grupos FLU e SPRG reduziram a HD em 15 dias a 30 dias usando VAS. Houve redução de HD para FLU, BIOS e SBU após 7 dias e para BIOS essa redução também ocorreu aos 30 dias quando comparada a 15 dias usando CoVAS. O grupo SPRG apresentou redução de 15 para 30 dias. Todos os dessensibilizantes testados foram capazes de reduzir a sensibilidade inicial. A solução de cerâmica bioativa reduziu o HD gradualmente após 30 dias usando análise computadorizada.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the 100 most-cited articles in DH and analyze their characteristics. Material and Methods: A search was performed on the Web of Science (WoS) and the 100 most-cited articles were selected. The following data were extracted: citations, year of publication, authorship, institution, country, journal, language, study design, topic of interest, conflict of interest (COI), and sponsorship. The VOSviewer software was used to visualize bibliometric networks. Poisson regression analysis was performed to measure associations between several citations and the characteristics of the studies. Results: The number of citations ranged from 346 to 48. The most-cited article was published in 1997 by Holland in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology. This journal published the most papers, followed by the Journal of Oral Rehabilitation and Journal of Dentistry. Laboratory research, review, and clinical trial were the study designs most prevalent. Reviews (p<0.05; PR= 1.853) and method development studies (p<0.05; PR= 1.853) had a more chance to present more citations. The main topics of interest were the clinical effectiveness of desensitizers and in vitro analysis of dentin morphology. Sponsorship and COI were underreported. England and USA presented the greatest number of citations and connections in the coauthorship network map. Conclusion: Most of the articles were original research, and their topics of interest were mainly the clinical effectiveness of desensitizing agents and dentin morphology.

ABSTRACT Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is characterized by rapid, acute pain arising from exposed dental tubules. Aim: the aim of this study was to evaluate the roughness, tubule occlusion, and permeability of eroded dentin brushed with different toothpastes. Materials and Method: ninety bovine teeth were cut into blocks. Thirty hemifaces were protected with varnish and the other sixty were submitted to permeability tests. Specimens were divided into groups according to the dentifrices: without fluoride (WF), sodium fluoride (NaF), and stannous fluoride (SnF2). The blocks were subjected to a 5-day erosive-abrasive protocol. Surface roughness and dentinal tubule occlusion (n=10) were assessed for both control and test hemifaces of the same sample along with permeability analysis (n=20). Two-way RM ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc test were performed (p≤0.05). Results: NaF and SnF2 presented higher roughness than WF. The number of open tubules was higher in WF. Permeability was higher in SnF2, but there was no significant difference between WF and NaF. Conclusions: both fluoride toothpastes occluded dentinal tubules and increased roughness. NaF toothpaste promoted greater decrease in dentin permeability.
RESUMO A hipersensibilidade dentinária (HD) é caracterizada por dor rápida e aguda decorrente de túbulos dentais expostos. Objetivo: este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a rugosidade, oclusão tubular e permeabilidade da dentina erodida escovada com diferentes dentifrícios. Materiais e Método: noventa dentes bovinos foram seccionados em blocos. Trinta hemifaces foram protegidas com verniz e outras sessenta foram submetidas à permeabilidade. Os espécimes foram divididos em grupos de acordo com os dentifrícios: sem flúor (SF), fluoreto de sódio (NaF) e fluoreto estanoso (SnF2). Em seguida, os blocos foram submetidos a um protocolo erosivo-abrasivo de 5 dias. A rugosidade da superfície e a oclusão do túbulo dentinário (n = 10) foram avaliadas para ambas as hemifaces de controle e teste da mesma amostra, também realizou-se a análise de permeabilidade (n = 20). Two-way RM ANOVA e pós-teste de Tukey foram realizados (p≤0,05). Resultados: NaF e SnF2 apresentaram rugosidade superior ao SF. O número de túbulos abertos foi maior em SF. Não encontramos diferenças significativas entre SF e NaF em relação à permeabilidade; entretanto, SnF2 apresentou maior permeabilidade. Conclusão: ambos os dentifrícios fluoretados foram capazes de ocluir os túbulos dentinários e aumentar a rugosidade. No entanto, o dentifrício NaF promoveu uma maior diminuição da permeabilidade dentinária.
ABSTRACT
Objective: This randomized controlled trial aimed to compare nanohydroxyapatite with fluoride on managing post ultrasonic scaling Dentine hypersensitivity (DH). Material and Methods: Thirty patients (aged 20-50 years) with post ultrasonic-scaling DH were included in this study. The sample was randomly divided into three equal groups of 60 teeth each: the first group received nanohydroxyapatite material, the second group received fluoride material and the third group received sterile water as a placebo (controls). The materials were applied once for each patient. All patients were instructed to rate the level of pain before treatment, and after 1 hour, 24 hours, 2 weeks and 1 month on the numerical rating scale (NRS). The Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney tests, linear regression analysis were used for the statistical analysis. Significance level was set at 0.05. Results: Both nanohydroxyapatite and fluoride were successful in reducing pain associated with DH when compared with the placebo in subsequent follow-ups (p < 0.05). However, one-hour and one-day post application, nanohydroxyapatite could reduce hypersensitivity pain moreeffectively than fluoride (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Nanohydroxyapatite material was found to besignificantly more effective in reducing the DH that followed ultrasonic scaling one-hour and one-day post application as compared to fluoride and sterile water. Both fluoride and nanohydroxyapatite had similar effect on DH after two-weeks and one-month after application. (AU)
Objetivo: Este ensaio clínico randomizado teve como objetivo comparar a nano-hidroxiapatita com o flúor no manejo da hipersensibilidade dentinária (HD) pós-raspagem ultrassônica. Material e Métodos: Trinta pacientes (com idades entre 20-50 anos) com HD pós-raspagem ultrassônica foram incluídos neste estudo. A amostra foi dividida aleatoriamente em três grupos iguais com 60 dentes cada: o primeiro grupo recebeu material de nano-hidroxiapatita, o segundo grupo recebeu material de flúor e o terceiro grupo recebeu água esterilizada como placebo (controle). Os materiais foram aplicados uma vez para cada paciente. Todos os pacientes foram instruídos a avaliar o nível de dor antes do tratamento, e após 1 hora, 24 horas, 2 semanas e 1 mês na escala de avaliação numérica (NRS). Os testes de Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney e análise de regressão linear foram usados para a análise estatística. O nível de significância foi estabelecido em 0,05. Resultados: Tanto a nano- hidroxiapatita quanto o flúor foram bem-sucedidos na redução da dor associada à HD quando comparados ao placebo em acompanhamentos subsequentes (p <0,05). No entanto, 1 hora e 1 dia após a aplicação, a nano-hidroxiapatita pode reduzir a dor de hipersensibilidade de forma mais eficaz do que o flúor (p <0,05). Conclusão: O material da nano-hidroxiapatita foi significativamente mais eficaz na redução da HD que se seguiu à raspagem ultrassônica, 1 hora e 1 dia após a aplicação, em comparação com o flúor e a água estéril. Tanto o flúor, quanto a nano-hidroxiapatita apresentou efeito semelhante na HD após 2 semanas e 1 mês após a aplicação (AU)

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of desensitizing agents for the obliteration of dentinal tubules subjected or not to a simulated oral environment. Material and Methods: Dentinal discs (n=8) treated with Riva-Star (RS) or PRG-Barrier-Coat (PRG) were submitted (cycled) or not submitted (control) to erosive-abrasive-thermal cycles and evaluated using scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopic analysis. The variables analyzed were tubule obliteration and dentin surface chemical composition. Data were analyzed by non-parametric tests (p<0.05). Results: The cycled and control groups did not differ significantly for the responses in each material. The PRG control and cycled groups had fewer visible tubules and a higher proportion of totally obliterated tubules than the RS groups. The percentages of silver coverage were higher in the RS-control than in the RS-cycled. There was a significant inverse correlation between the presence of silver and non-obliterated tubules (R=-0.791; p<0.001). The percentages of carbon, aluminum, strontium, and potassium were significantly higher in the PRG-control and PRG-cycled compared to the RS control. The percentages of calcium, phosphorus, and silver were significantly higher in the RS compared to the PRG groups. PRG-control showed a higher percentage of boron than RS-control. Conclusion: PRG promoted greater tubule obliteration than SR. Simulated stress did not affect the obliterating effect of each agent. Greater silver coverage corresponded to a lower proportion of non-obliterated tubules in RS. Carbon, aluminum, strontium, boron, and potassium predominated in the dentin surface treated with PRG, while calcium, phosphorus, and silver prevailed in RS groups (AU).

Objective: To analyze the wettability on the surface of eroded dentin in teeth submitted to abrasive wear with desensitizing dentifrices. Material and Methods: Bovine dentin specimens were polished and immersed in 10 mL of citric acid (pH=3.2) for 2 h. The eroded specimens were submitted to mechanic brushing according to the 4 dentifrices adopted: Colgate Total (control); Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief; Sensodyne Repair & Protect; or Sensodyne Rapid Relief. Afterwards, it was conditioned in 37% aqueous phosphoric acid solution. Wettability of 80 specimens (n=10) brushed for 7 or 21 days was evaluated by measuring the contact angle between the dentin surface and a drop of the adhesive Single Bond Universal® (3M) with a goniometer. Changes in the surface morphology of 12 specimens (n = 3) brushed for 21 days were followed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey test (p > 0.05). Results: Groups treated with desensitizing dentifrices did not differ significantly (p ≤ 0.05). Surface treatment and abrasive wear did not interact significantly (p ≤ 0.05). Brushing along 7 days gave the smallest contact angle value (p ≥ 0.05). CLSM images showed morphological changes for all the groups. Conclusion: The desensitizing dentifrices did not interfere in eroded dentin wettability after brushing along 7 or 21 days. Brushing with any of the dentifrices along 21 days promoted open dentinal tubules.(AU)
Objetivo: Analisar a aplicação de um adesivo na superfície de dentina erodida em dentes submetidos ao desgaste abrasivo com agentes dessensibilizantes. Material e Métodos: Espécimes de dentina bovina foram polidos e imersos em 10 mL de ácido cítrico (pH=3,2) por 2 h. Os espécimes erodidos foram submetidos à escovação mecânica de acordo com os 4 dentifrícios adotados: Colgate Total (controle); Colgate Sensitive Pro-Alívio; Sensodyne Repair & Protect; ou Sensodyne Rápido Alívio. Em seguida, foram condicionados em ácido fosfórico a 37%. A molhabilidade de 80 espécimes (n=10) escovados por 7 ou 21 dias foi avaliada medindo-se o ângulo de contato entre a superfície dentinária com uma gota do adesivo Single Bond Universal® (3M) por um goniômetro. Alterações na morfologia da superfície de 12 espécimes (n = 3) escovados por 21 dias foram seguidos por Microscopia Confocal de Varredura a Laser (MCVL). Os dados foram analisados por ANOVA dois fatores e teste de Tukey (p > 0,05). Resultados: Os grupos tratados com dentifrícios dessensibilizantes não diferiram significativamente (p ≤ 0,05). O tratamento de superfície e o desgaste abrasivo não interagiram significativamente (p ≤ 0,05). A escovação ao longo de 7 dias apresentou o menor valor de ângulo de contato (p ≥ 0,05). As imagens do MCVL mostraram alterações morfológicas para todos os grupos. Conclusão: Os dentifrícios dessensibilizantes não interferiram na molhabilidade da dentina erodida após escovação ao longo de 7 ou 21 dias. A escovação com qualquer um dos dentifrícios ao longo de 21 dias promoveu a abertura dos túbulos dentinários (AU)

ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Dentin hypersensitivity is an exacerbated response to a stimulus, causing acute and short-term pain. Over the years, several treatments for dentin hypersensitivity have emerged, including laser therapy. Thus, the objective of this work was to carry out a review about the available devices and the existing procedures of laser therapy in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity. CONTENTS: A systematic review of studies published from 2016 to 2020 was carried out through bibliographic search in the electronic databases Pubmed and the Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde - (Virtual Health Library), using the following descriptors: "Laser" And "Dentin Hypersensitivity". Of the total of 51 articles found in the search, 14 were eligible for a review. There was an evaluation of the possible risks of bias for each of the articles included. CONCLUSION: As a result, a variety of devices available on the market and different protocols that prove to be effective for the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity when compared to the initial pain situation (baseline) were found. When laser treatment is compared with other existing therapies, it's not so clear which would be the most effective, due to the wide variety of study methodologies. However, an association of therapies that act in the two mechanisms of pain interception (neural and blocker) seems to be an appropriate conduct in the control of dentin hypersensitivity, and this combination can happen through physical methods (High and low intensity laser) and chemical (neural and blocker agents).
RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A hipersensibilidade dentinária é uma resposta exacerbada a um estímulo, causando dor aguda e de curta duração. Ao longo dos anos, diversos tratamentos para a hipersensibilidade dentinária têm surgido, incluindo a laserterapia. O objetivo foi realizar uma revisão acerca dos aparelhos disponíveis e dos protocolos do tratamento da hipersensibilidade dentinária com laser. CONTEÚDO: Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática de estudos publicados de 2016 a 2020, por meio da busca bibliográfica nas bases de dados eletrônicos Pubmed e da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, utilizando os seguintes descritores: "Laser" e "Dentin Hypersensitivity". Do total de 51 artigos encontrados na busca, 14 foram elegíveis para a revisão. Foram analisados os possíveis riscos de viés para cada um dos artigos incluídos. CONCLUSÃO: Diante da variedade de protocolos existentes quanto ao uso do laser, tanto alta (LAP) quanto de baixa potência (LBP), nadiminuição do desconforto causado pela HD, pode-se concluir de maneira geral que o emprego do laser tem se mostrado efetivo na grande maioria dos protocolos utilizados nos estudos, porém, ainda não é claro qual seria a estratégia mais efetiva a longo prazo. A associação de intervenções que atuem nos dois mecanismos de interceptação da dor (neural e obliterador) parece ser uma conduta apropriada no controle da HD, podendo essa combinação acontecer por meio de métodos físicos (laser de alta e baixa intensidade) e químicos (agentes neurais e obliteradores). A terapia mais adequada para HD depende de criteriosa anamnese e exame físico, enquanto o sucesso do tratamento dependerá da remoção dos fatores causais e de um plano de tratamento feito individualmente para cada paciente.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Nd:YAG laser associated with calcium-phosphate desensitizing pastes on dentin permeability and tubule occlusion after erosive/abrasive challenges. Methodology Dentin specimens were exposed to 17% ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) solution for 5 min and randomly allocated into five groups: G1, control (no treatment); G2, Nd:YAG laser (1 W, 10 Hz, 100 mJ, 85 J/cm2); G3, Laser + TeethmateTM Desensitizer; G4, Laser + Desensibilize Nano P; and G5, Laser+Nupro®. Specimens underwent a 5-day erosion-abrasion cycling. Hydraulic conductance was measured post-EDTA, post-treatment, and post-cycling. Post-treatment and post-cycling permeability (%Lp) was calculated based on post-EDTA measurements, considered 100%. Open dentin tubules (ODT) were calculated at the abovementioned experimental moments using scanning electron microscopy and ImageJ software (n=10). Data were analyzed using two-way repeated measures ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=0.05). Results G1 presented the highest %Lp post-treatment of all groups (p<0.05), without significantly differences among them. At post-cycling, %Lp significantly decreased in G1, showed no significant differences from post-treatment in G3 and G4, and increased in G2 and G5, without significant differences from G1 (p>0.05). We found no significant differences in ODT among groups (p>0.05) post-EDTA. At post-treatment, treated groups did not differ from each other, but presented lower ODT than G1 (p<0.001). As for post-cycling, we verified no differences among groups (p>0.05), although ODT was significantly lower for all groups when compared to post-EDTA values (p<0.001). Conclusion All treatments effectively reduced dentin permeability and promoted tubule occlusion after application. Combining Nd YAG laser with calcium-phosphate pastes did not improve the laser effect. After erosive-abrasive challenges, treatments presented no differences when compared to the control.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a capacidade obliteradora de diferentes agentes dessensibilizantes em dentina humana através da mensuração da permeabilidade dentinária, e suas performances biológicas através da análise de citotoxicidade em fibroblastos gengivais humanos. Cinquenta molares humanos foram utilizados, dos quais foram obtidos blocos de dentina (4x4x1mm) posteriormente distribuídos em grupos de acordo com o dessensibilizante a ser utilizado (n=10): Grupo 1 - Controle (Saliva artificial. Sem aplicação de agente dessensibilizante); Grupo 2 - Ultra EZ (Ultradent); Grupo 3 - Desensibilize Nano P (FGM); Grupo 4 - Vidro Bioativo T5-OH (solução experimental); Grupo 5 - Vidro Bioativo F18 (solução experimental). Os tratamentos dessensibilizantes foram realizados durante 15 dias. Além disso, os espécimes foram submetidos ao desafio com ácido cítrico para simular condições desmineralizantes do ambiente oral. As amostras foram submetidas à análise de permeabilidade antes e após os procedimentos dessensibilizantes e o desafio ácido. Análise de citotoxicidade foi realizada pelo ensaio Alamar Blue complementado pela quantificação de proteína pelo Método BCA (ácido bicinconínico) (N=3; n=3) nos tempos de avaliação de 15 minutos, 24 horas e 48 horas. Microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) e Espectroscopia de Raio-X por Energia Dispersiva (EDS) foram realizadas para análise qualitativa da dentina tratada. Dados de permeabilidade dentinária foram analisados por ANOVA dois fatores medidas repetidas e Teste de Tukey (α=0,05). Para a citotoxicidade, foram utilizados os testes Kruskal-Wallis e Newman-Keuls (α=0,05). Os resultados mostraram que para a permeabilidade dentinária não houve diferença significante entre os agentes dessensibilizantes após os tratamentos (p> 0,05), porém o grupo controle apresentou os maiores valores (0,131 ± 0,076 Lp, p< 0,05). Após o desafio ácido, o grupo controle manteve os maiores valores (0,044 ± 0,014 Lp) com diferença significante para os demais grupos (p< 0,05), exceto para o Desensibilize Nano P (0,037 ± 0,019 Lp). Quanto à citotoxicidade, não houve diferença entre os grupos experimentais (p> 0,05). Assim, foi possível concluir que o uso de dessensibilizantes à base de biovidros causou efeito similar ao uso de produtos disponíveis comercialmente, em relação à permeabilidade e propriedades biológicas da dentina(AU)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the obliterating capability of different desensitizing agents on human dentin by measuring dentin permeability, and their biological performance by the analysis of cytotoxicity in human gingival fibroblasts. Fifty human molars were used, from which dentin blocks were obtained (4x4x1mm) and distributed in groups according to the desensitizing agent used (n=10): Group 1 - Control (Artificial saliva. No desensitizing agent applied); Group 2 Ultra EZ (Ultradent); Group 3 Desensibilize Nano P (FGM); Group 4 - T5-OH Bioactive Glass (Experimental solution); Group 5 - F18 Bioactive Glass (Experimental solution). The desensitizing treatments were performed for 15 days. In addition, the specimens were subjected to challenge with citric acid to simulate oral environment demineralizing conditions. Samples were subjected to permeability analysis before and after the desensitizing procedures and the acid challenge. Cytotoxicity analysis was performed by using Alamar Blue assay and complemented by total protein quantification by Pierce Bicinchoninic Acid (BCA) assay (N=3; n=3) at 15 minutes, 24-hour and 48-hour time points. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersion X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were performed for qualitative analysis of treated dentin. Data of dentin permeability was analyzed by twoway repeated measures ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc test (α=0.05). For cytotoxicity, Kruskal-Wallis and Newman-Keuls tests were used (α=0.05). The results showed that for dentin permeability there was no significant difference among the desensitizing agents after treatment (p> 0.05), but the control group presented the highest values (0.131 ± 0.076 Lp, p< 0.05). And after acid challenge, the control group maintained the highest values (0.044 ± 0.014 Lp) with significant difference to the other groups (p< 0.05), except for Desensibilize Nano P (0.037 ± 0.019 Lp). For cytotoxicity, there were no significant differences among the experimental groups (p> 0.05). It was concluded that the use of bioglass-based desensitizers caused similar effects to commercially available products, regarding permeability and dentin biological properties(AU)

Métodos: Blocos de dentina bovina foram obtidos e imersos em EDTA 0,5 M para promover a abertura dos túbulos dentinários. Os materiais testados foram: verniz placebo (PLA); verniz fluoretado (FLU); verniz de NaF 5% + 5% trimetafosfato de sódio nanoparticulado (TMP); sistema adesivo universal (SBU); verniz contendo partículas S-PRG (SPRG); solução de Biosilicato (BIOS) e solução de amelotina (AMTN). Os materiais foram aplicados e os espécimes submetidos ao desafio erosivo-abrasivo. A permeabilidade dentinária foi avaliada em T0 (inicial), T1 (após a aplicação dos materiais) e T2 (após o desafio erosivo-abrasivo). As imagens confocais foram usadas para avaliar o comprimento e o número dos túbulos ocluídos e as imagens de microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) para avaliar o número de tubulos abertos. Os dados de permeabilidade e MEV foram analisadas pelo teste ANOVA duas medidas repetidas e pós teste de Tukey. O comprimento e número de túbulos dentinários ocluídos foram analisadas pelo teste ANOVA um critério e pós teste de Tukey, Kruskal-Wallis e pós teste de Dunn's, respectivamente. Os testes de correlação de Spearman e Pearson também foram realizados. O nível de significância foi de 5%. Resultados: O grupo AMTN mostrou os menores valores de permeabilidade em T1 e a seguinte ordem decrescente ocorreu em T2: AMTN=SBU>BIOS=SPRG>TMP>FLU>PLA. O grupo SBU teve o maior comprimento médio de túbulos dentinários ocluídos. O grupo AMTN teve maior número de túbulos dentinários ocluídos do que PLA e FLU e os menores valores de túbulos dentinários abertos foram observados para os grupos AMTN e SBU. Uma correlação significativa foi encontrada entre as análises realizadas. Significância: O sistema adesivo universal e a proteína amelotina foram mais efetivos em reduzir a permeabilidade dentinária através da oclusão dos túbulos dentinários(AU)
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the dentin permeability and tubule occlusion of in-office desensitizing materials. Methods: Bovine dentin blocks were obtained and immersed in 0.5 M EDTA to open dentinal tubules. The materials tested were: placebo varnish (PLA); fluoride varnish (FLU); NaF 5% + 5% nanoparticulate sodium trimetaphosphate varnish (TMP); universal adhesive system (SBU); S-PRG filler-containing varnish (SPRG); Biosilicate solution (BIOS) and amelotin solution (AMTN). The materials were applied, and specimens were submitted to an erosive-abrasive challenge. Dentin permeability was evaluated at T0 (initial), T1 (after application of materials) and T2 (after erosive-abrasive challenge). Confocal images were used to evaluate length and number of dentinal tubules occluded and images from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to evaluate opened dentinal tubules. Permeability and SEM data were evaluated by two-way repeated measures ANOVA and Tukey tests. The length and number of dentinal tubules occluded were evaluated by one-way ANOVA and Tukey, Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's tests, respectively. Spearman and Pearson correlation tests were also used. The significance level was 5%. Results: AMTN group showed the lowest permeability value in T1 and the following decreasing order occurred in T2: AMTN=SBU>BIOS=SPRG>TMP>FLU>PLA. SBU group had the highest mean value of dentinal tubules occluded lengths. AMTN group had greater number of dentinal tubules occluded than PLA and FLU and the lowest values of opened dentin tubules were observed for AMTN and SBU groups. A significant negative correlation was found between the analysis. Significance: Universal adhesive system and the AMTN solution were more effective to reduce dentin permeability by occluding dentin tubules(AU)

Abstract This study aimed to quantify the penetration of hydrogen peroxide, color change evaluation, surface morphology, and composition after application of desensitizing agents before in-office bleaching. Fifty premolars were sectioned, an acetate buffer was placed in the pulp chamber and divided into five groups (n=10). In the positive control group, only the in-office bleaching gel was used, and in the negative control group, no treatment was used. Three different desensitizing agents were applied: Desensibilize KF2%® group; Mi Paste® group, and Desensibilize Nano-P® group. The bleaching procedure was carried out with 35% HP. The absorbance of the resulting solution was determined in a spectrophotometer. Color change was assessed by using a digital spectrophotometer. Four additional premolars were assigned to the same groups above for analysis under scanning electron microscope, as well as to evaluate the elemental composition with X-ray dispersive energy spectrometry. Data were subjected to ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=0.05). All products reduced the penetration of HP in the pulp chamber. Mi Paste and Nano P were the products that yielded the lowest HP penetration, which was similar to the negative control group (p<0.001). No significant difference was detected in color change (p<0.001). Concerning enamel morphology, the groups that were analyzed after bleaching were observed a greater deposition of desensitizing agents on the surface. The use of desensitizing agents before tooth bleaching seems to be an alternative to reduce adverse effects of the tooth.
Resumo Este estudo teve como objetivo quantificar a permeabilidade do peróxido de hidrogênio (PH), avaliação da mudança de cor, morfologia da superfície e composição de elementos após a aplicação de agentes dessensibilizantes antes do clareamento em consultório. Cinquenta pré-molares foram seccionados, um tampão de acetato foi colocado na câmara pulpar e divididos em cinco grupos (n=10). No grupo controle positivo, apenas o gel clareador em consultório foi utilizado e no grupo controle negativo nenhum tratamento foi realizado. Foram aplicados três agentes dessensibilizantes diferentes: grupo KF2%®; grupo Mi Paste® e Desensibilize Nano-P®. O procedimento de clareamento foi realizado com PH a 35%. A absorbância da solução resultante foi determinada em um espectrofotômetro. A mudança de cor foi avaliada utilizando um espectrofotômetro digital. Quatro pré-molares adicionais foram atribuídos aos mesmos grupos acima para análise em microscópio eletrônico de varredura, bem como para avaliar a composição elementar com espectrometria de energia dispersiva por raios-X. Os dados foram submetidos ao teste ANOVA e Tukey (a=0,05). Todos os produtos reduziram a penetração de PH na câmara pulpar. Mi Paste e Nano P foram os produtos que apresentaram a menor penetração de PH, semelhante ao grupo controle negativo (p<0,001). Nenhuma diferença significativa foi detectada na mudança de cor (p<0,001). Em relação à morfologia do esmalte, os grupos analisados após o clareamento apresentou maior deposição de agentes dessensibilizantes na superfície. O uso de agentes dessensibilizantes antes do clareamento dental parece ser uma alternativa para reduzir os efeitos adversos no dente.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a rugosidade, a obliteração dos túbulos dentinários e a permeabilidade da dentina erodida e escovada com diferentes dentifrícios. Noventa dentes bovinos foram seccionadas em blocos, sendo que em trinta a hemiface foi protegida com verniz ácido resistente e sessenta foram submetidos ao teste de permeabilidade. Os espécimes foram divididos de acordo com os dentifrícios: sem flúor (SF), com fluoreto de sódio (NaF) e com fluoreto de estanho (SnF2). Em seguida, os blocos foram submetidos a um protocolo erosivo-abrasivo por 5 dias. As análises de rugosidade superficial e obliteração dos túbulos dentinários (n=10) foram realizadas nas hemifaces controle e teste do mesmo espécime e a análise da permeabilidade (n=20) foi realizada novamente. Os dados foram submetidos aos testes de ANOVA a dois critérios medidas repetidas e pós teste de Tukey (p≤0,05). Os grupos NaF e SnF2 apresentaram maior rugosidade comparando-se ao SF. O grupo SF apresentou a maior quantidade de túbulos abertos quanto comparado aos demais. Não houve diferença significativa na permeabilidade pós-ciclagem entre os dentifrícios SF e NaF, contudo o dentifrício SnF2 apresentou maior permeabilidade comparando-se aos demais. Ambos os dentifrícios contendo flúor tiveram oclusão efetiva dos túbulos dentinários; contudo, os efeitos da presença de fluoreto de estanho na permeabilidade podem ser neutralizados pela abrasão deste dentifrício(AU)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the roughness, dentin tubule occlusion and permeability of eroded dentin brushed with different toothpastes. Ninety bovine teeth were sectioned in blocks. The hemiface of thirty specimens was protect with acid resistant varnish and sixty were submitted to permeability test. The specimens were divided according to the dentifrices: without fluoride (WF), sodium fluoride (NaF) and stannous fluoride (SnF2). Then, the blocks were submitted to erosive-abrasive protocol for 5 days. The analysis of surface roughness and dentin tubule occlusion (n=10) were performed on control and test hemifaces of the same sample and permeability analysis (n=20) was again performed. Data were analyzed by two-way RM ANOVA and Tukey tests (p≤0.05). NaF and SnF2 groups presented higher roughness when compared with WF. WF group presented larger number of opened tubules compared to the others. No significant differences were found between WF and NaF for permeability; however, SnF2 presented higher hydraulic conductance compared to other dentifrices. In conclusion, both fluoride-containing toothpastes had promising tubule occlusion; however, the effects on permeability of stannous formulation may be counteracted by the effects of abrasion from this dentifrice(AU)

Aim: Evaluate the effect of adhesives systems combined with desensitizer agents on the microtensile bond strength (µTBS) of a composite resin to dentin. Methods: Cervical dentin of thirty-two human molars were used to simulate hypersensitivity areas. The teeth were divided into four groups (n=8), according to the type of adhesive system and desensitizer agents. No desensitizer was used in the control (Clearfil SE Bond CS). Two experimental groups were pretreated with either MS Coat Bond (MS) or Biofluorid 12 (BF) immediately prior to bonding with CS. The last group corresponded to Gluma Comfort Bond + Desensitizer (GC) application. After dentin treatments, a composite block was built-up on dentin surface and after 24 hours teeth were serially sectioned to obtain bonded bean specimens. Beams were stored in water for 24 hours or one year. Subsequently, the specimens were submitted to the µTBS test. Data were analyzed by two-way mixed ANOVA and Bonferroni's test (α = 0.05). Results: At 24 hours, there was no significant difference in µTBS among groups. However, at one year, dentin treated with MS or BF demonstrated significantly lower µTBS of CS to dentin compared to control and GC, which kept their µTBS stable. Conclusion: The effect of MS and BF desensitizer agents on the µTBS of CS to dentin did not reduce the µTBS at 24 hours, but it decreases significantly after one year

La complicación más comun del tratamiento de blanqueamiento dental es la sensibilidad dental, ésta ocurre por la los radicales libres que se liberan a partir del peróxido de hidrógeno, principal agente de los productos blanqueadores, atraviesan el esmalte, la dentina y llegan a la pulpa dental produciendo el dolor. Existen diferentes terapias utilizadas antes, durante y después para disminuir esta sensibilidad dental, como el uso de agentes que actúan inhibiendo la repolarización del nervio como el nitrato de potasio y los que obliteran los túbulos entre ellos como el fosfato de calcio amorfo, silicato de calcio y sodio, gluconato de calcio, hidroxiapatita, GLUMA y flúor; existen otras terapias alternativas como el uso de antiinflamatorios, antioxidantes y aplicación de láser, las cuales también han sido revisadas en la literatura. La siguiente revisión tiene como objetivo mostrar la evidencia científica sobre los diferentes métodos para disminuir la sensibilidad por blanqueamiento dental.
The most common side effect in tooth bleaching is tooth sensitivity because of the pulp reaction to free radicals produced by the hydrogen peroxide used in bleaching products. Different therapies have been used before, during and after to reduce tooth sensitivity, agents that block nerve repolarization such as potassium nitrate and agents that block dentinal tubules: amorphous calcium phosphate, calcium sodium phosilicate, calcium gluconate, hydroxyapatite, GLUMA and fluor; alternative therapies such as the use of anti-inflammatory, antioxidants and laser application which have also been mentioned in the literature. The aim of this review is to show the scientific evidence on the different methods to decrease the sensitivity on tooth bleaching.
ABSTRACT
Background: Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) affects all age groups in a population and is perceived as pain to any stimuli. From time immemorial, researchers have sought herbal or natural solutions to treat hypersensitivity. Propolis is one such natural, nontoxic resinous substance produced by honey bees, which is useful in various applications in dentistry and effective in treating dentinal hypersensitivity. Aim: The aim of this in vitro study is to assess the effect of propolis varnish on occlusion of dentinal tubules thus aiding in the treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity. The objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed treatment using scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging. Materials and Methods: Twenty naturally extracted teeth were collected and stored until in vitro assessment. Discs obtained from each tooth were divided into two groups of 20 each – I (test) and II (control), with each tooth acting as its own control. Propolis varnish was applied only to the acid-etched surface of the exposed dentin of discs in the test group, whereas all the discs were subjected to SEM imaging. Results: Statistical analysis showed a significant reduction in open tubules (P < 0.001) from 160 ± 6.97 before treatment to 61.20 ± 9.10 after propolis varnish application in the test group. Conclusion: This study showed the promise of propolis varnish as a natural treatment modality for DH.
ABSTRACT
A hiperestesia dentinária cervical se caracteriza como uma manifestação com sintomatologia dolorosa aguda, repentina, localizada e de curta duração, provocada por um estímulo tátil, químico, térmico ou osmótico. Cessa após a remoção e não é provocada em dentes saudáveis por estímulos considerados fisiológicos. Acomete geralmente o terço cervical dos elementos dentários como pré-molares e molares, com exposição da dentina e abertura dos túbulos dentinários após recessão gengival, perda de estrutura cementária ou adamantina, lesões não cariosas, hábitos deletérios, entre outros. Devido à alta prevalência dessa condição na população mundial e queixas frequentes no consultório odontológico, a hiperestesia tem sido exaustivamente estudada. O objetivo deste trabalho, por meio de revisão de literatura, é elucidar a etiologia, diagnóstico diferencial, terapias e efetividade no controle desse problema de saúde pública
The cervical dentinal hyperesthesia is characterized as a manifestation with sharp, sudden, located painful symptomatology and of short duration, provoked by a stimulus tactile, chemical, thermal or osmotic. It ceases after the removal and it isn´t provoked in healthy teeth by stimulus considered physiologic. It usually attacks the cervical third of the dental elements as premolar and molars, with exhibition of the dentine and opening of the dentinal tubules after gingival recession, loss of cementery or adamantine structures, non-carious lesions, harmful habits, among others. Due to the high prevalence of that condition in the world population and frequent complaints in the dentistry clinic, the hyperesthesia has been exhaustively studied. The aim of this paper, through review of literature, was to elucidate the aetiology, differential diagnosis,therapies and effectiveness in the control of that problem of public health

Abstract Objective: To analyze color change, microhardness and chemical composition of enamel bleached with in-office bleaching agent with different desensitizing application protocols. Materials and Methods: One hundred and seventeen polished anterior human enamel surfaces were obtained and randomly divided into nine groups (n = 13). After recording initial color, microhardness and chemical composition, the bleaching treatments were performed as G1: Signal Professional White Now POWDER&LIQUID FAST 38% Hydrogen peroxide(S); G2: S+Flor Opal/0.5% fluoride ion(F); G3: S+GC Tooth Mousse/Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) paste(TM); G4: S+UltraEZ/3% potassium nitrate&0.11% fluoride(U); G5: S+Signal Professional SENSITIVE PHASE 1/30% Nano-Hydroxyapatite (n-HAP) suspension(SP); G6: S-F mixture; G7: S-TM mixture; G8: S-U mixture; G9: S-SP mixture. Color, microhardness and chemical composition measurements were repeated after 1 and 14 days. The percentage of microhardness loss (PML) was calculated 1 and 14 days after bleaching. Data were analyzed with ANOVA, Welch ANOVA, Tukey and Dunnett T3 tests (p<0.05). Results: Color change was observed in all groups. The highest ΔE was observed at G7 after 1 day, and ΔE at G8 was the highest after 14 days (p<0.05). A decrease in microhardness was observed in all groups except G6 and G7 after 1 day. The microhardness of all groups increased after 14 days in comparison with 1 day after bleaching (p>0.05). PML was observed in all groups except G6 and G7 after bleaching and none of the groups showed PML after 14 days. No significant changes were observed after bleaching at Ca and P levels and Ca/P ratios at 1 or 14 days after bleaching (p>0.05). F mass increased only in G2 and G6, 1 day after bleaching (p<0.05). Conclusions: The use of desensitizing agents containing fluoride, CPP-ACP, potassium nitrate or n-HAP after in-office bleaching or mixed in bleaching agent did not inhibit the bleaching effect. However, they all recovered microhardness of enamel 14 days after in-office bleaching.

Abstract To synthesize Nano eggshell-titanium-dioxide (EB@TiO2) biocomposite and to evaluate its effectiveness in occluding opened dentine tubules. EB@TiO2 was synthesized and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). Sixteen simulated bovine dentine discs were prepared and randomly assigned into four groups according to the following treatment (n = 4): Group 1: No treatment; Group 2: eggshell powder; Group 3: EB@TiO2; Group 4: Sensodyne. These were then agitated in a solution of 1g powder and 40mL water for 3hours. Thereafter, each dentine discs from the respective groups were post-treated for 5 min with 2wt% citric acid to test their acid resistant characteristics. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was used to observe the effectiveness of occluded dentine pre-and post-treatment. The cytotoxicity of the synthesized EB@TiO2 was tested using NIH 3T3 assay. ANOVA was used to evaluate the mean values of the occluded area ratio and the data of MTS assay. This was followed by a multi-comparison test with Bonferroni correction (α = .05). The XRD confirmed that EB@TiO2 was successfully modified through ball-milling. The TEM revealed the presence of both spherical and irregular particle shape powders. The SEM result showed that EB@TiO2 could effectively occlude open dentine tubules. Equally, the result demonstrated that EB@TiO2 exhibited the highest acid resistant stability post-treatment. NIH 3T3 assay identified that EB@TiO2 had little effect on the NIH 3T3 cell line even at the highest concentration of 100µg/ml. This study suggests that the application of EB@TiO2 effectively occluded dentine tubules and the occlusion showed a high acid resistant stability.

This randomized clinical trial tested the effect of three different desensitizing agents on reduction of pain due to hypersensitive cervical dentin lesions. Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight individuals with 84 teeth diagnosed with cervical dentin hypersensitivity (DH) in at least one tooth in any three of the four quadrants were selected. Patients exhibiting pain scores of two or more on the visual analog scale (VAS) were included in the study. Each quadrant in an individual was randomly assigned to one of the three treatment groups based on computer-generated random number. The desensitizing agents used were Profluorid Varnish (Voco: Cuxhaven Germany), Admira Protect (Voco: Cuxhaven Germany), and PRG-Barrier Coat (Shofu: japan). One operator recorded the baseline sensitivity scores after evaporative and tactile stimuli by visual analog score system. The second operator who was not aware of the baseline values applied the desensitizing agents and recorded the sensitivity scores. VAS scores for both the stimuli were noted immediately after application, 1 week, and after 1 month. The data were analyzed using repeated measure ANOVA and post hoc Tukey's multiple comparison tests (P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant). Results: There was a significant reduction in VAS scores from baseline in all the three groups at all the time intervals (P < 0.001). Admira Protect showed significant reduction of hypersensitivity scores at 1 month compared to other groups (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Admira Protect was proved to be better in reducing pain due to DH than PRG-Barrier Coat and Profluorid Varnish after 1 month of application.
