Résumé
Objetivo: Determinar as evidências científicas sobre a influência do uso de lasers de baixa e alta intensidade no tratamento da hipersensibilidade da dentina. Revisão de literatura: Foram realizadas buscas na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), incluindo as bases de dados: Literatura Latino Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS); Bibliografia Brasileira de Odontologia (BBO); e National Library of Medicine (MEDLINE). A maioria dos estudos destacam a eficácia dos lasers na redução da HD, com o laser Nd:YAG mostrando-se eficaz na obliteração dos túbulos dentinários e proporcionando alívio a longo prazo. Apesar dos benefícios, alguns estudos alertam para possíveis danos à polpa dentária, especialmente com lasers de alta potência. Considerações finais: Embora os lasers tenham se mostrado eficazes na redução da HD, a escolha do laser deve ser personalizada para cada paciente, destacando a necessidade de aprimorar os protocolos clínicos e adquirir experiência relevante por parte dos profissionais especialistas.
Objective: To determine the scientific evidence on the influence of the use of low and high intensity lasers in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity. Literature review: Searches were carried out in the Virtual Health Library (VHL), including the databases: Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS); Brazilian Bibliography of Dentistry (BBO); and National Library of Medicine (MEDLINE). Most studies highlight the effectiveness of lasers in reducing HD, with the Nd:YAG laser proving effective in obliterating dentinal tubules and providing long-term relief. Despite the benefits, some studies warn of possible damage to the dental pulp, especially with high-power lasers. Final considerations: Although lasers have been shown to be effective in reducing HD, the choice of laser must be personalized for each patient, highlighting the need to improve clinical protocols and acquire relevant experience on the part of specialist professionals.

Abstract Objective: To summarize data of clinical trials that used silver diamine fluoride (SDF) to prevent and treat caries lesions and dentinal hypersensitivity. Material and Methods: Six electronic databases were searched in May 2022. The concentration of SDF, type of usage (alone/combined), dentition, anterior/posterior teeth, tooth region, dental tissue, number of the treated surfaces, the intervention environment, participants' age, frequency and duration of SDF application, purpose, and outcome were the extracted variables. The type of study, year of publication, authors, journals, and country were also investigated. Results: From 8860 articles, S3 were selected. Most were randomized (n=38), that applied 38% SDF (n=43), alone (n=44), on multiple surfaces (n=44), only in dentin (n=36), of the crown (n=46) of anterior and posterior (n=36) primary teeth (n=39). The studies were preferably carried out outside the clinic (n=3l), only in children (n=33), with reapplication of SDF (n=30), but did not inform the duration of application (n= 19). SDF was most used to treat (n=46) only caries lesions (n=50). They were published between 2001 and 2022, mainly in the Journal of Dentistry (n=10). China (n=19) and Lo E.GM (n=19) were the countries and authors that published the most, respectively. Conclusion: The silver diamine fluoride 38% alone was most used to treat caries lesions in the dentin of the crown of all primary teeth, preferably applied on multiple surfaces, requiring re application, and outside the clinic.

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 Objective: To investigate the association between DH and Health (HRQoL) or Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL). Material and Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, EMBASE, Cochrane, Scielo, LILACS/BBO, Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD), Open Grey, and Google Scholar databases were screened in September 2019 (updated in October 2022). Observational studies were selected to compare HRQoL/OHRQoL(outcome) according to DH(exposure) or evaluate the association among these variables. Standardized Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tool for analytical cross-sectional studies was used to analyze the risk of bias. A random-effects meta-analysis was conducted to synthesize evidence for the association between DH and OHRQoL. Results: 10 papers met inclusion criteria and were evaluated. In most studies, presenting or having a greater intensity of DH was associated with a negative impact on one's quality of life. However, most of these studies showed a moderate to high risk of methodological bias. The consistent finding from studies with a low risk of bias suggests a significant association between DH and OHRQoL. Meta-analysis was feasible for three studies with substantial heterogeneity. The pooled Odds Ratio was 2.14 (95%CI 1.15-3.99; I2= 57,44%). Conclusion: Many studies presented a high risk of bias; therefore, the actual effect of DH on one's quality of life remains uncertain.

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.

Objetivo: Objetivou-se investigar associação direta e mediada pela presença de impacto físico e psicossocial das condições bucais entre HD e satisfação com a saúde entre adultos. Métodos: Estudo transversal foi realizado entre 2018-2019 com amostra probabilística por conglomerado de adultos residentes em Rio Acima (MG). Entrevista e exame bucal foram realizados por examinadoras calibradas. Satisfação com a saúde foi avaliada por meio da pergunta doWHOQoL-bref "Quão satisfeito (a) você está com a sua saúde?" e suas respostas categorizadas entre "satisfeito" e "insatisfeito". HD foi avaliada por estímulo tátil na região cervical dos dentes. Presença de impactos físicos e psicossociais das condições bucais foi definida pelas respostas "repetidamente" ou "sempre" a pelo menos um dos itens do OHIP-14. Covariáveis foram dados sociodemográficos e econômicos, comportamentos em saúde, condições de saúde bucal e uso de serviços odontológicos. Associações foram investigadas por modelos de Regressão de Poisson e Modelagem de Equações Estruturais (MEE) para estimar associações diretas e indiretas (Stata 16). Resultados: Dos 197 adultos, 132 (66,18%) declararam estar satisfeitos com sua saúde e 73 indivíduos (38,75%) apresentavam HD. Houve associação significativa entre presença de HD e presença de impacto físico e psicossocial das condições bucais (RP: 1.34; IC 95%: 1.081.67), enquanto para satisfação a associação com HD não foi significativa (RP: 1.08; IC 95%: 0.75-1.54) após a inclusão da variável presença de impacto físico e psicossocial das condições bucais. MEE demonstrou associação direta não significativa entre HD e satisfação, enquanto a associação indireta mediada pela presença de impacto físico e psicossocial das condições bucais foi significativa. Conclusão: Indivíduos com HD podem relatar maior insatisfação com a vida quando esta experiência dolorosa está associada com impactos físicos ou psicossociais.
Aim: Dentin Hypersensitivity (DH) is a painful condition that affects the Oral Health-related Quality of Life and can affect the satisfaction with health of individuals who have it. This study aimed to investigate the direct association mediated by the presence of physical and psychosocial impacts of oral conditions between DH and satisfaction with health among adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out between 2018-2019 with a probabilistic sample consisting of a cluster of adults living in Rio Acima (MG). Interviews and epidemiological examinations were performed using calibrated tests. The dependent variable of satisfaction with health was assessed using the WHOQoL-bref question "How satisfied are you with your health?" Participants' answers were categorized between "satisfied" and "dissatisfied". The independent DH variable was assessed by tactile stimulation in the cervical region of the teeth. The presence of physical and psychosocial impacts of oral conditions was defined by the answers "farly often" or "very often" to at least one of the OHIP-14 items. Covariates were sociodemographic and psychological data, health behavior, oral health conditions, and use of dental services. Associations were investigated by Poisson Regression and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) models to estimate direct and indirect associations (Stata 16). Results: Of the 197 adults, 132 (66.18%) reported being satisfied with their health, and 73 individuals (38.75%) had DH. There was a significant association between the presence of DH and the presence of physical and psychosocial impacts of oral health (PR:1.34; 95% CI: 1.081.67), while for receiving the association with DH, it was not significant (PR:1 .08; 95% CI: 0.75-1.54) after including the presence of impact variables. SEM showed a non-significant direct association between DH and satisfaction, while the indirect association mediated by the presence of impact was significant. Conclusion: Individuals with HD may report greater dissatisfaction with life when this painful experience is associated with physical or psychosocial effects.

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of using an ionized monocalcium phosphate and enamelin derivatives (IMP+ED) based mouthwash for the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity (DH) after scaling and root planing (SRP). 47 patients who reported DH after SRP treatment were included in this prospective cohort study. The Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale (SCASS) was applied to classify their degree of pain in mild, moderate or intense at two times: after SRP (T0), and after one month of using a IMP+ED-based mouthwash (T1). The McNemar-Bowker test was used to compare the correlated proportions between both times (p<0.05). After the SRP therapy (T0), all the sample members reported pain distributed in the following manner: 12.8% were mild, 27.6% moderate, and 59.6% intense. At one month since treatment and with the use of the IMP+ED-based mouthwash (T1), the distribution of pain levels changed to 83% mild, 12.8% moderate, and 4.3% intense, this change was statistically significant (p<0.001). IMP+ED-based mouthwash produces a positive effect in reducing painful responses caused by exposure of the dentin tubules to the oral environment after SRP therapy.
Resumen El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la efectividad de un enjuague bucal a base de fosfato monocálcico ionizado y derivados de enamelina (FCI+DE) para el tratamiento de hipersensibilidad dentinaria (HD) posterior al tratamiento de raspado y alisado radicular (RAR). 47 pacientes que reportaron tener HD posterior al tratamiento de RAR fueron incluidos en este estudio prospectivo de cohorte. Con el fin de clasificar la HD de los pacientes en leve, moderada o intensa se utilizó la Escala de Sensiblidad al Aire Frío de Schiff (ESAFS). Los pacientes fueron evaluados después del tratamiento de RAR (T0) y posterior al uso de un enjuague bucal basado en FCI+DE (T1). Para comparar las proporciones correlacionadas se utilizó la prueba de McNemar-Bowker (p<0.05). La distribución del dolor de los pacientes posterior al tratamiento de RAR (T0) fue la siguiente: 12.8% fueron leves, 27.6% moderado, and 59.6% intenso. Un mes después del uso del enjuague buccal basado en FCI+DE (T1) la distribución en los niveles de dolor cambio a 83% leve, 12.8% moderado, and 4.3% intenso, este cambio fue estadísticamente significativo (p<0.001). El uso del enjuague bucal basado en FCI+DE produce una reducción significativa a la respuesta de dolor causada por la exposición de la dentina al ambiente oral como consecuencia del tratamiento de RAR.

Abstract Non-carious Cervical Lesions (NCCL) are dental tissue defects, non-related to caries, frequently observed in the dental practice. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of NCCL on dentin depth and thickness and the response to dental pain by means of clinical diagnostic tests. 86 teeth from 14 patients with NCCL were assessed by: depth of NCCL, clinical tests (evaporative stimulus, to detect pain levels of dentin hypersensitivity, cold thermal test to classify pulp health, percussive stimuli to evaluate the periradicular tissues and cone beam computed tomography (tomography to evaluate remaining dentin thickness (RDT). In terms of depth, the sample was divided into two groups: G1- teeth with NCCLs ≤1.0mm and G2- teeth with NCCLs between 1.1-2.0 mm. Dental pain data were compared by Mann-Whitney test and RDT by Student's t-test and correlations by the Pearson test (p<0.05). The depth of NCCL does not influence dental pain response to evaporative stimulus (p=0.129), cold thermal test (p = 0.125), vertical (p = 0.317) and horizontal (p = 0.119) percussion clinical diagnostic tests. However, G1 showed more RDT (p<0.001), and the correlation test showed that deeper NCCL presents smaller remaining dentin thickness (p=0.011/r=-0.273). In conclusion, tooth with NCCL up to 2mm-depth presents similar levels of pain for dentin hypersensitivity, pulp and periradicular tissue independent to NCCL depth, however, lesions with ≤1.0mm-depth showed greater RDT in tomographic findings.
Resumo Lesões Cervicais Não Cariosas (LCNC) são defeitos do tecido dentário, não relacionados à cárie, frequentemente observados na prática odontológica. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar os efeitos da profundidade e espessura da dentina de LCNC na resposta à dor dentária por meio de testes de diagnóstico clínico. 86 dentes de 14 pacientes com LCNC foram avaliados por: profundidade da LCNC, testes clínicos (estímulo evaporativo, para detectar níveis de dor de hipersensibilidade dentinária, teste térmico frio para classificar a saúde pulpar, estímulos percussivos para avaliação do tecido perirradicular e tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC), para avaliação da espessura de dentina remanescente (EDR). Em termos de profundidade, a amostra foi dividida em dois grupos: G1- dentes com LCNCs ≤1,0mm e G2- dentes com LCNCs entre 1,1-2,0 mm. Os dados de dor dentária foram comparados pelo teste de Mann-Whitney e a EDR pelo teste t-Student e correlações pelo teste de Pearson (p <0,05). A profundidade da LCNC não influencia a resposta da dor dentária ao estímulo evaporativo (p = 0,129, teste térmico frio (p = 0,125), teste diagnóstico clínico de percussão vertical (p = 0,317) e horizontal (p = 0,119), porém o G1 apresentou maior EDR (p <0,001) e o teste de correlação mostrou que LCNC mais profunda apresenta menor EDR (p = 0,011 / r = -0,273). Conclusão: Dentes com LCNC de até 2mm de profundidade apresenta níveis semelhantes de dor para hipersensibilidade dentinária, pulpar e saúde perirradicular, independente da profundidade da LCNC. Entretanto, lesões com profundidade ≤1,0mmin apresentaram mais EDR nos achados tomográficos.

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).

Os lasers de diodo tornaram-se ferramentas clínicas populares devido ao seu tamanho compacto, acessibilidade, facilidade de uso e versatilidade. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar as diversas aplicações de um laser de diodo na prática diária e destacar os aspectos técnicos do uso do laser de diodo para o mesmo. Esta série de casos relata o manejo de seis diferentes situações clínicas com laser de diodo: anquiloglossia, bolsa periodontal, zênites gengivais desiguais, mucocele, hipersensibilidade dentinária e gengiva hiperpigmentada. Os pacientes foram tratados com laser de diodo de 940 nm com potência de 0,5 W a 2 W dependendo do caso. A cicatrização pós-operatória transcorreu sem intercorrências na maioria dos casos e foram observados resultados favoráveis. O laser de diodo ofereceu vantagens cirúrgicas como campo seco, desinfecção do sítio cirúrgico e cirurgia sem sutura. Além disso, os autores observaram melhor satisfação do paciente devido à mínima dor ou edema pós-operatório e alívio imediato em caso de hipersensibilidade dentinária. Este artigo apresenta as aplicações cirúrgicas e não cirúrgicas do laser de diodo juntamente com os aspectos técnicos. Embora a literatura disponível não forneça evidências substanciais para comparação direta do laser de diodo com as técnicas convencionais, é seguro concluir que o laser de diodo é uma ferramenta eficiente para uso rotineiro em odontologia.(AU)
The diode lasers have become popular clinical tools because of their compact size, affordability, ease of use and versatility. The aim of this paper is to put forth the various applications of a diode laser in day to day practice and highlight the technical aspects of diode laser use for the same. This case series reports management of six different clinical situations with diode laser namely ankyloglossia, periodontal pocket, unequal gingival zeniths, mucocele, dentinal hypersensitivity and hyper-pigmented gingiva. The patients were treated with 940 nm diode laser with power settings from 0.5 W to 2 W depending on the case. The post-operative healing was uneventful in most cases and favourable outcomes were observed. The diode laser offered surgical advantages like dry field, disinfection of surgical site and suture-less surgery. In addition, the authors observed better patient satisfaction owing to minimal post-operative pain or swelling and immediate relief in case of dentinal hypersensitivity. This paper presents both surgical and non-surgical applications of diode laser along with the technical aspects. Even though the available literature does not lend substantial evidence for direct comparison of diode laser with conventional techniques, it is safe to conclude that diode laser is an efficient tool for routine use in dentistry.(AU)

Abstract Objectives To analyze the effect of 5 toothpastes containing different percentages of S-PRG fillers compared to NaF toothpaste and NaF varnish on the dentin hydraulic conductance (Lp). Methodology Dentin disks (1.0±0.2 mm thickness) were cut from third molars, and their Lp values were evaluated using Flodec. The specimens were allocated into 7 groups (n=8). The minimum (smear layer) and the maximum (after acid etching) Lp values were recorded. Lp was also assessed after treatment with either a 0wt.%, 1wt.%, 5wt.%, 20wt.%, or 30wt.% S-PRG toothpaste, a NaF toothpaste, or a NaF varnish. Toothpastes were applied by brushing for 15 s, allowing it to settle for 1 min, and rinsing with deionized water. The NaF varnish was applied for 4 min and was removed with a probe. Specimens were exposed to citric acid (6%, pH 2.1, 1 min) and their final Lp was recorded. The pH of all products was recorded (n=3) and specimens from each group were analyzed by Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy (LSCM). Data were subjected to 2-way repeated measures ANOVA and post-hoc Bonferroni (a=0.05). Results The highest Lp reduction was noticed for the 5wt.% S-PRG toothpaste, NaF toothpaste, and NaF varnish. However, the toothpastes containing 5wt.%, 20wt.%, and 30wt.% of S-PRG were similar to all toothpastes but differed from the NaF varnish. After erosion, all groups retrieved their maximum Lp values, except for the NaF varnish. The LSCM evidenced deposits on the surface of specimens treated with 5%, 20%, and 30% S-PRG-based toothpastes and NaF toothpaste. Even more deposits were observed for the NaF varnish. After the erosive challenge, the deposits were diminished in all groups. Conclusion Toothpastes containing 5wt.%, 20wt.%, and 30wt.% of S-PRG fillers behaved similarly to a conventional NaF toothpaste, even after an erosive challenge. The NaF varnish promoted better reduction of the Lp, but its effect was also diminished after erosion.

Résumé
Objetivo: Verificar, por meio de uma revisão de literatura, a efetividade do uso do fluoreto de sódio como dessensibilizante para casos de sensibilidade induzida por clareamento dental. Resultados: O clareamento dentário tornou-se um dos procedimentos estéticos mais procurados na odontologia. Atualmente, existem duas técnicas supervisionadas por dentistas: o clareamento caseiro e o de consultório. Os materiais mais utilizados são o peróxido de carbamida e o de hidrogênio, respectivamente. O clareamento dental baseia-se na premissa de que o peróxido de hidrogênio penetra na estrutura dentária para interagir com os cromóforos orgânicos. Embora o protocolo de clareamento exija o uso de agentes oxidantes de baixa concentração, a sensibilidade dentária ainda está presente e pode ser considerado o principal efeito adverso da técnica de clareamento. Para minimizar este problema, a aplicação tópica de dessensibilizantes antes e após o clareamento dentário tem mostrado bons resultados na redução da intensidade de sensibilidade. Considerações finais: Mediante revisão apresentada, constatou-se que fluoreto de sódio quando utilizado após o protocolo clareador, como dessensibilizante, não elimina a sensibilidade, mas diminui a intensidade da dor. Quando utilizado antes do clareamento dental, não apresenta resultados positivos. Ademais, salienta-se que quando o fluoreto é incorporado no gel clareador, resulta em menor desmineralização do esmalte dentário.(AU)
Objective: To verify, through a literature review, the effectiveness of using sodium fluoride as a desensitizer for cases of sensitivity induced by tooth whitening. Literature review: Teeth whitening has become one of the most desired aesthetic procedures in dentistry. Currently, there are two techniques supervised by dentists: home whitening and office whitening. The most used materials are carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide, respectively. Teeth whitening is based on the premise that hydrogen peroxide penetrates the tooth structure to interact with organic chromophores. Although the whitening protocol requires the use of low concentration oxidizing agents, tooth sensitivity is still present and can be considered the main adverse effect of the whitening technique. To minimize this problem, the topical application of desensitizers before and after tooth whitening has shown good results in reducing the intensity of sensitivity. Final considerations: Upon the review presented, it was found that sodium fluoride, when used after the whitening protocol, as a desensitizer, does not eliminate sensitivity, but reduces the intensity of pain. When used before tooth whitening, it has no positive results. Furthermore, it should be noted that when fluoride is incorporated into the whitening gel, less enamel demineralization is induced.(AU)

Abstract This clinical trial evaluated the effect of the coadministration of ibuprofen/caffeine on bleaching-induced tooth sensitivity (TS). A triple-blind, parallel-design, randomized clinical trial was conducted on 84 patients who received ibuprofen/caffeine or placebo capsules. The drugs were administered for 48 hours, starting 1 hour before the in-office bleaching. Two bleaching sessions were performed with 35% hydrogen peroxide gel with 1-week interval. TS was recorded up to 48 hours after dental bleaching with a 0-10 visual analogic scale (VAS) and a 5-point numeric rating scale (NRS). The color was evaluated with VITA Classical and VITA Bleachedguide scales (ΔSGU) and VITA Easyshade spectrophotometer (ΔE*ab and ΔE00). The absolute risk of TS in both groups was evaluated using Fischer's exact test. Comparisons of the TS intensity (NRS and VAS data) were performed by using the Mann-Whitney test and a two-way repeated measures ANOVA, respectively. The color alteration between the groups was compared with the Student's t test. The significance level was 5%. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups for the absolute risk of TS (p = 1.00) or for the intensity of TS (p > 0.05). A bleaching of approximately 7 shade guide units was observed on the Vita Classical and Vita Bleachedguide scales, with no statistical difference between the groups. It was concluded that coadministration of ibuprofen and caffeine did not reduce the absolute risk or intensity of TS and did not interfere with the efficacy of dental bleaching.
Resumo Este ensaio clínico avaliou o efeito da coadministração de ibuprofeno/cafeína na sensibilidade dental decorrente de clareamento (SD). Um estudo clínico randomizado, paralelo, triplo-cego, foi realizado em 84 pacientes que receberam cápsulas de ibuprofeno/cafeína ou placebo. Os fármacos foram administrados por 48 horas, começando 1 hora antes do clareamento em consultório. Duas sessões de clareamento foram realizadas com gel de peróxido de hidrogênio 35% com intervalo de 1 semana. A SD foi registrada até 48 horas após o clareamento dental com uma escala visual analógica (VAS) de 0-10 e uma escala de classificação numérica (NRS) de 5 pontos. A cor foi avaliada com as escalas Vita Classical e Vita Bleachedguide (ΔSGU) e com o espectrômetro Vita Easyshade (ΔE*ab e ΔE00). O risco absoluto de SD em ambos os grupos foi avaliado por meio do teste exato de Fischer. As comparações da intensidade da SD (NRS e VAS) foram realizadas utilizando-se o teste Mann-Whitney e uma ANOVA de dois fatores com medidas repetidas, respectivamente. A alteração de cor entre os grupos foi comparada com a o teste t de Student. O nível de significância foi de 5%. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre os grupos para o risco absoluto de SD (p = 1,00) ou para a intensidade de SD (p > 0,05). Observou-se clareamento de aproximadamente 7 unidades nas escalas Vita Classical e Vita Bleachedguide, sem diferença estatística entre os grupos. Concluiu-se que a coadministração de ibuprofeno e cafeína não reduziu o risco absoluto ou intensidade da SD e não interferiu na eficácia do clareamento dental.

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.

Introdução: A hipersensibilidade dentinária (HD) consiste em uma condição clínica caracterizada por dor localizada, curta e aguda, resultante de estímulos exógenos. Objetivo: Esse estudo objetivou realizar uma revisão da literatura sobre os aspectos relevantes vinculados à HD, como etiologia, diagnóstico, mecanismos biológicos, medidas preventivas e terapêuticas. Metodologia: Foi realizada a busca eletrônica de publicações nas bases de dados Scielo, PubMed, Periódicos Capes, Lilacs e Medline, utilizando os seguintes descritores: "dentin", "dentin sensitivy", "treatment". Os estudos foram publicados no período de 2010 a 2020. Resultados: Observou-se que a HD acomete cerca de 9-55% da população, principalmente indivíduos entre a terceira e quarta décadas de vida, apresentando maior prevalência no sexo feminino, afetando especialmente as regiões vestibulares dos caninos, pré-molares superiores e sequencialmente os incisivos e molares inferiores. O diagnóstico é determinado a partir de testes de sensibilidade, como o mecânico ou a desidratação. O tratamento dispõe de inúmeras propostas baseadas na obliteração dos túbulos dentinários como forma de impossibilitar a movimentação líquida intratubular ou restrição neural dos mecanorreceptores pulpares. Conclusão: Embora os aspectos clínicos sejam bem estabelecidos na literatura, a importância de um correto diagnóstico é essencial para um plano de tratamento adequado, por se tratar de uma condição de etiologia multifatorial...

Introduction: Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) consists of a clinical condition characterized by localized, hort and acute pain, resulting from exogenous stimulus. Objective: This study aimed to conduct a narrative literature review on the relevant aspects linked to DH, such as etiology, diagnosis, biological mechanisms, preventive and therapeutic approaches. Methodology: The electronic search for publications was carried out in the Scielo, PubMed, Capes, Lilacs and Medline databases, using the following descriptors: "dentin", "dentin sensitivy", "treatment". The studies were published in the period from 2010 to 2020. Results: It was observed that DH affects about 9-55% of the population, mainly belonging to the third and fourth decade of life, with higher prevalence in females, especially affecting the vestibular regions of the canines, upper premolars and sequentially the incisors and molars lower. The diagnosis is determined based on sensitivity tests, such as mechanical or dehydration. The treatment has numerous proposals based on the obliteration of the dentinal tubules as a way of preventing the intratubular liquid movement or neural restriction of the pulp mechanoreceptors. Conclusion: Although the clinical aspects are well established in the literature, the importance of a correct diagnosis is essential for an adequate treatment plan, as it is a multifactorial condition...

O termo Lesões Cervicais Não Cariosas (LCNCs) refere-se à perda de tecido dentário duro na Junção Cemento-Esmalte (JCE), cuja etiologia não está relacionada com o envolvimento bacteriano. A origem e a progressão desses defeitos cervicais são consideradas multifatoriais, sendo atribuídas a três fatores principais, sendo eles: abfração, biocorrosão e abrasão. Tais fatores podem estar combinados e associados a eventos de força excessiva aplicada durante a escovação, juntamente com a abrasividade de dentifrícios, hábitos alimentares e/ou parafuncionais. Essas lesões podem ter morfologias diferentes de acordo com seu fator etiológico principal, podendo se apresentar em forma de cunha, oval ou arredondada. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma revisão de literatura a fim de apresentar os desafios do Cirurgião-Dentista na descoberta dos diferentes fatores etiológicos das LCNCs. O desafio em questão se dá pelo estudo da combinação desses diversos fatores, bem como a realização de um diagnóstico preciso, fazendo-se necessário o conhecimento adequado da etiologia a fim de prevenir futuras novas lesões, estagnar as existentes e assim, capacitar o Cirurgião-Dentista a realizar um tratamento eficaz e longínquo das LCNCs. No entanto, ainda existem muitas controvérsias na literatura, tornando necessária a elaboração de mais estudos para elucidar a etiologia das LCNCs
The term noncarious cervical lesions (NCCL) refers to the loss of hard tooth tissue at the Cemento-Enamel Junction (CEJ), whose etiology is not related to bacterial involvement. The origin and progression of these cervical defects are considered multifactorial, being attributed to three main factors: abfraction, biocorrosion and abrasion. Such factors may be combined and associated with excessive force events applied during brushing, along with the abrasiveness of dentifrices, eating and/or parafunctional habits. These lesions may have different morphologies according to their main etiological factor, and may be wedge-shaped, oval or rounded. Our aim in this paper was to perform a literature review in order to present the challenges of the dental surgeon in identifying the different etiological factors of NCCL. Such challenge regards the study of the combination of these factors, as well as the achievement of an accurate diagnosis, requiring adequate knowledge of the etiology in order to prevent future lesions, stagnate existing ones, thus enabling the Dental Surgeon to treat NCCL effectively in the long term. However, there are still many controversies in the literature, making it necessary to develop more studies to elucidate the etiology of NCCL

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)

Abstract The presence of a tooth-surface defect, such as a non-carious cervical lesion (NCCL), associated with sites of gingival recession (GR) defects creates a combined soft tissue/tooth defect (CD) that requires a different treatment plan. This study aimed to critically review the literature regarding the available treatment protocols for CDs and suggest a new decision-making process. NCCLs were classified as Class A-: the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) was visible and the root surface discrepancy was < 0.5 mm (no step); Class A+: CEJ was visible and the root surface discrepancy was > 0.5 mm (with a step); Class B-: unidentifiable CEJ without a step; Class B+: unidentifiable CEJ with a step. NCCLs affecting both root and crown surfaces (Class B) lead to CEJ destruction and consequently eliminate an important landmark used before and after root coverage procedures. The depth of the root surface discrepancy is vital owing to its possible impact on soft tissue adaptation after healing, which, in turn, may influence the treatment options, namely the use of graft and/or composites to compensate for the discrepancy. Clinically, a step with horizontal depth greater than 0.5 mm should be recognized as the minimum threshold value to define this condition. Extremely deep defects tend to assume a V-shaped topography. Therefore, extremely deep V-shaped defects were classified into subclasses A+V, a V-shaped defect, and B+V, a V-shaped defect with loss of CEJ, for management considerations. The treatment options, supported by the literature, and a decision-making process to deal with each condition are presented.
