The clinical effect of Desensitizer Oravive combined with Er:YAG laser irradiation on dentin hypersensi-tivity / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of Desensitizer Oravive combined ErYAG laser irradiation on dentin hypersen-sitivity.Methods:240 molars in 86 patients with dentin hypersensitivity were divided into 2 groups(n =1 20).In control group De-sensitizer Oravive was applied to the teeth surface for 30 s;in combination group the teeth surfaces were treated by ErYAG laser irra-diation for 60 s,and then by Desensitizer oravive for 30 s.Each tooth was treated only once.Pain and pain relief were evaluated by VAS before treatment and immediately,4,8 and 1 2 weeks after treatment.Data were statistically analyzed.Results:Before treat-ment,VAS showed no significant difference between the groups(P >0.05).Both groups exhibited lower VAS after treatment(P <0. 05),VAS values were lower(P <0.05)and the effective rate was higher in the combination group than those in the control group at each treatment stage(P <0.05).Conclusion:Desensitizer Oravive combined with ErYAG laser is more effective than Desensitizer Oravive in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity.
