RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate dentin wear and biological performance of desensitizing materials. METHODS: Seventy bovine root dentin blocks were sectioned. Half of the surface of each specimen was untreated (control) and the other half was immersed in EDTA and treated with the following desensitizing materials: placebo varnish (PLA), fluoride varnish (FLU), sodium fluoride (NaF) varnish + sodium trimetaphosphate (TMP), universal adhesive (SBU), S-PRG varnish (SPRG), biosilicate (BIOS), and amelotin solution (AMTN). After application, the specimens were submitted to an erosive-abrasive challenge and the wear analyzed by optical profilometer. Serial dilutions of extracts obtained from the culture medium containing discs impregnated with those desensitizers were applied on fibroblasts and odontoblasts-like cells cultures. Cytotoxicity and production of total protein (TP) by colorimetric assays were determined after 24 h. Data were statistically analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis, Dunn's, One-way ANOVA and Tukey tests (p ≤ 0.05). RESULTS: No dentin wear was observed only for SBU. The lowest dentin wear was observed for AMTN and TMP. Cell viability was significantly reduced after treatment with undiluted extracts of PLA, FLU, TMP and SBU in fibroblasts and TMP and SBU in odontoblast-like cells. SPRG, BIOS and AMTN were cytocompatible at all dilutions tested. Considering TP results, no statistical difference was observed among the groups and high levels for TP were observed after TMP and FLU treatments. CONCLUSIONS: Universal adhesive system may protect dentin with opened tubules from wear after challenge. Extracts of adhesive and fluoride varnishes presented cytotoxic mainly on fibroblasts. The enamel protein may be a future alternative to treat dentin with opened tubules because it may cause low wear under erosive-abrasive challenge with low cytotoxic effects.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of two desensitizers and the Er,Cr:YSGG laser on human dentin tubules, applied alone or in combination. METHODS: Ninety-six dentin specimens were obtained from extracted third molars and divided into six groups: Group 1: no-treatment (Control); Group 2: nano-hydroxyapatite desensitizer (NhapD); Group 3: NhapD+Er,Cr:YSGG laser (L); Group 4: Er,Cr:YSGG laser (L); Group 5: glutaraldehyde desensitizer (GD); and Group 6: GD+L, respectively. All specimens were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy. The diameter and the number of open dentin tubules, the tubules' occluding ratio, and the mineral coverage area were measured via the Image J software at 2000× magnification. Atomic force microscopy was used to determine the blocking mechanism of desensitizing treatments and the surface morphology of dentin specimens. One-way ANOVA and Tukey tests were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: The number of open tubules and the mean diameter of tubules for all treatment groups showed statistically significant differences from the control group The NhapD+L group had a significantly lower number of open tubules than the L and GD groups. The NhapD+L and L groups significantly had higher occluding ratios than the other groups. CONCLUSIONS: The present study showed that the Er,Cr:YSGG laser alone was effective in terms of tubule occlusion and also contributed to increasing the occluding ratio of nano-hydroxyapatite. It may be recommended to use the Er,Cr:YSGG laser with nano-hydroxyapatite desensitizers to achieve effective tubule occlusion.

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.

The aim of the study was to evaluate dentinal tubule occlusion, measuring the dentin permeability (Lp) and using different desensitizing agents before and after abrasive/erosive challenge. Dentin discs from 42 healthy human third molars were obtained. Minimum Lp was measured after a smear layer simulation using #600 SiC paper and maximum Lp after an immersion in 0.5 M EDTA. The specimens were treated with different desensitizers: two varnishes (Clinpro XT Varnish-CV, Fluor Protector-FP), a paste (Desensibilize Nano P-NP) and a gel (Oxa Gel-OG). The Lp of each specimen was measured immediately after the desensitizers’ application. The discs were subjected to erosion/abrasion cycles for 7 days, with 0.5% citric acid solution (6x/day) and tooth brushing (3x/day). Lp was measured after the first, fourth and seventh day of the challenge. The data were analyzed by 3-way ANOVA with repeated measurements and by a Games-Howell test (α=5%). FP and CV did not show significant differences in Lp immediately after application until the 7th day (p<0.05). OG showed a significant increase in Lp after the 4th and 7th days. NP resulted in a significantly higher permeability compared to the other materials immediately after the application and after the 1st day of challenge. All the desensitizers reduced the dentin permeability immediately after application. However, only the varnishes were able to maintain the occlusive effect after the erosion/abrasion challenge.
Resumo O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a permeabilidade da dentina (Lp) usando diferentes agentes dessensibilizantes antes e depois de um desafio abrasivo/erosivo. Discos de dentina foram obtidos a partir 42 terceiros molares humanos. Lp mínima foi medida após uma simulação de smear layer usando lixa de SiC # 600 e a Lp máxima foi medida após imersão em EDTA 0,5 M. As amostras foram tratadas com diferentes dessensibilizantes: dois vernizes (Fluor Protector-FP, Clinpro XT Varnish-CV), uma pasta (Desensibilize Nano P-NP) e um gel (Oxa Gel-OG). A Lp de cada amostra foi medida imediatamente após a aplicação dos dessensibilizantes. Os discos foram submetidos a um ciclo de erosão/abrasão durante 7 dias, com uma solução de 0,5% de ácido cítrico (6x/dia) e escovação (3x/dia). Lp foi medida do primeiro ao sétimo dia do desafio. Os dados foram analisados por ANOVA a 3 critérios com medidas repetidas e teste de Games-Howell (α=5%). FP e CV demonstraram Lp semelhante imediatamente depois da aplicação até 7 dias (p<0,05). OG apresentou um aumento significativo na Lp depois do 4º e 7º dias. NP resultou numa permeabilidade significativamente mais elevada comparada com a dos outros materiais imediatamente após a aplicação e após o primeiro dia de desafio. Todos os dessensibilizantes reduziram a permeabilidade da dentina imediatamente após a aplicação. No entanto, apenas os vernizes foram capazes de manter o efeito oclusivo após o desafio da erosão/abrasão.

Dentin hypersensitivity is a relatively common clinical condition, which affects a large part of the world's population. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of previous and prolonged treatment with desensitizing dentifrices (DD) on bond strength to dentin, promoted by a self-etching adhesive system. Seventy non-carious bovine incisors were used, and divided into five groups (n= 14), according to the desensitizing toothpaste used, such as, G1: distilled water (WATER) (control); G2: Colgate Total 12 (CT12) (control); G3: Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief (CSPR); G4: Sensodyne Rapid Relief (SRR); G5: Sensodyne Repair & Protect (SRP). Teeth had their buccal surfaces flattened until the exposure of dentin, and fragments of 4x4x2 mm were obtained. Fragments were included in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cylinders and exposed to 17 % EDTA for 1 min. Subsequently, specimens were submitted to 20 000 cycles of simulated dental toothbrushing. After 24 h in artificial saliva, specimens were hybridized (Clearfil SE Bond Kuraray), as well as resin composite cylinders built on dentin surfaces. Samples were stored in distilled water, at 37 C for 24 h, and the shear bond strength was determined. The highest bond strength (MPa) value was seen in CT12 group (4.39), and the lowest one in CSPR group (3.34). Data were statistically analyzed by 1-way ANOVA (ð= 0.05), and results showed that there were no significant differences (p= 0.5986) considering the DD factor. The predominant fracture pattern was cohesive on dentin. The previous and prolonged use of different DD did not affect dentin bond strength promoted by a self-etching adhesive system.
La hipersensibilidad dentinaria es una condición clínica relativamente común, que afecta a una gran parte de la población mundial. El objetivo fue evaluar la influencia del tratamiento previo y prolongado con dentífricos desensibilizantes (DD) en fuerza de adhesión a la dentina, que promueve un sistema adhesivo de autograbado. Se utilizaron 70 incisivos bovinos no cariados, y se dividieron en cinco grupos (n= 14), de acuerdo con la pasta de dientes desensibilizante utilizada: G1: agua destilada (agua) (control), G2: Colgate Total 12 (CT12) (control), G3: Colgate Sensitive Pro-Alivio (CSPR), G4: Sensodyne Rápido Alivio (SRR) y G5: Sensodyne Repair & Protect (SRP). Los dientes tenían sus superficies bucales aplanadas hasta la exposición de la dentina, y se obtuvieron fragmentos de 4x4x2 mm. Los fragmentos se incluyeron en cilindros de cloruro de polivinilo y se expusieron a 17 % de EDTA durante un 1 min. Después, las muestras se sometieron a 20 000 ciclos de cepillado dental simulado. Después de 24 h en saliva artificial, las muestras se hibridaron (Clearfil SE Bond - Kuraray), y cilindros de resina compuesta fueron construidos sobre superficies de dentina. Las muestras se almacenaron en agua destilada, a 37 °C durante 24 h y luego se determinó la resistencia al cizallamiento. El mayor valor de resistencia a la unión (MPa) se observó en el grupo CT12 (4,39), y el menor en el grupo CSPR (3,34). Los datos fueron analizados estadísticamente mediante ANOVA de un factor 1 (ð= 0,05), y los resultados no mostraron diferencias significativas (p= 0,5986) teniendo en cuenta el factor de los DD. El patrón de fractura predominante sobre la dentina fue el cohesivo. El uso previo y prolongado de diferente DD no afectó resistencia de unión a la dentina promovido por un sistema adhesivo de autograbado.

This study evaluated the effect of a 2% chlorhexidine-based disinfectant (CHX) on the short-term resin-dentin bond strength of a self-etch adhesive system to human dentin with different mineral contents. Dentinal mineralization was tested at 4 levels (sound, and after 2, 4, or 8 days of demineralization-remineralization cycles) and disinfectant at 2 levels [deionized water (DW, negative control) and CHX]. Dentin demineralization induced by pH-cycling was characterized by cross-sectional hardness (CSH). Each dentin surface was divided into halves, one treated with DW and the other with CHX (5 minutes). Each surface was bonded with a self-etch adhesive system and restored. The specimens were sectioned and subjected to microtensile bond testing. CSH and microtensile bond strength (µTBS) data were analyzed by regression analysis and ANOVA-Tukey tests (α = 5%), respectively. The groups treated with CHX resulted in mean µTBS similar to those found for the groups in which the dentin was exposed to DW (p = 0.821). However, mean µTBS were strongly influenced by dentin mineralization (p < 0.05): the bond strength found for sound dentin was lower than that found for dentin cycled for 8 days, which was even lower than the bond strengths for dentin cycled for 2 or 4 days. The results suggest that the degree of dentin demineralization affects the bond strength of self-etching adhesives, but the use of CHX does not modify this effect.

The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of toothbrushing with desensitizing toothpastes on dentin permeability and dentinal tubule occlusion. Fifty rats provided two hundred incisor teeth divided into five groups: DW, brushed with distilled water (control); FT, brushed with fluoride toothpaste; SCT, brushed with strontium chloride toothpaste; PCT, brushed with potassium citrate toothpaste; and PNT, brushed with potassium nitrate toothpaste. Cavities were prepared to expose the dentinal tubules, and the incisor teeth were brushed using the experimental agents. After each treatment, Evans blue dye solution was applied to the teeth. Dentin permeability was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-rays (EDX). There were significant differences (p < 0.0001, ANOVA) among the groups regarding dentin permeability, number of dentinal tubules, diameter of dentinal tubules, and opened tubular area. In the SCT, PCT and PNT groups, opened and partially occluded tubules, deposits, and a few smear layers were observed. In the DW and FT groups, most of the dentinal tubules were open, with no deposits or smear layers on the dentin. EDX revealed peaks of calcium and phosphorus in all of the groups, as well as traces of strontium in the SCT group and of potassium in the PCT and PNT groups. Desensitizing toothpaste decreased dentin permeability, although it produced only partial dentin tubule occlusion.

This study evaluated in vitro the effect of an experimental gel containing iron on the reduction of hydraulic conductance of dentin. Thirty-six 1-mm-thick dentin discs obtained from extracted human third molars were divided into 3 groups of 10 specimens each. The groups corresponded to the following experimental materials: 1.23 percent acidulated phosphate fluoride gel, pH 4.1; 3 percent potassium oxalate gel, pH 4.1 (Oxa-Gel®); and iron sulfate gel (10 mmol/L FeSO4), pH 4.1. The gels were applied to dentin under the following conditions: after 37 percent phosphoric acid and before 6 percent citric acid. Data were analyzed statistically by ANOVA and Tukey's test at 5 percent significance level. There was no significant differences (p<0.05) among the groups in any of the conditions for hydraulic conductance reduction, except for smear layer presence. The active agents reduced dentin permeability, but they produced significantly lower (p<0.05) reduction in hydraulic conductance when compared to presence of smear layer. The effectiveness in reducing dentin permeability was not significantly different (p>0.05) among the gels. This study suggests that the iron gel promoted reduction in dentin permeability comparable to that of the other agents and thus may be considered a good clinical alternative for the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity.
Este estudo objetivou avaliar in vitro o efeito do gel experimental contendo ferro na redução da condutividade hidráulica na dentina. Trinta e seis discos de dentina humana de 1 mm de espessura, foram obtidos de terceiros molares extraídos divididos em 3 grupos de 10 espécimes cada. Os grupos foram divididos nos seguintes grupos experimentais: F- flúor gel a 1,23 por cento, pH 4,1; O- gel de oxalato de potássio a 3 por cento, pH 4,1; I- gel de sulfato ferroso FeSO4 a 10 mmol/L, pH 4,1. Os géis foram aplicados na dentina sob as diferentes condições: após o ácido fosfórico a 37 por cento a antes do ácido cítrico a 6 por cento. Os resultados foram analisados por ANOVA e teste de Tukey, com nível de significância de 5 por cento. Todos os grupos (gel de flúor, oxalato de potássio e gel de ferro) não apresentaram diferenças significativas entre si para todas as condições testadas, exceto na presença da smear layer (p<0,05). Os produtos utilizados reduziram a permeabilidade dentinária, entretanto apresentaram baixa redução quando comparados à smear layer (p<0,05). Não houve diferença significativa na efetividade dos géis testados para reduzir a permeabilidade dentinária (p<0,05). Este estudo sugere que o gel de ferro promoveu redução na permeabilidade dentinária comparável à dos outros agentes e, portanto, pode ser considerada uma boa alternativa clínica para o tratamento da hipersensibilidade dentinária.

OBJECTIVES: To assess and to compare the effects of Gluma® Desensitizer (GDL) with an experimental glutaraldehyde and HEMA containing fumed silica dispersion (GDG) on dentin permeability using a chemiluminous tracer penetration test. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty disc-shaped dentin specimens were dissected from extracted human third molars. The dentin specimens were mounted in a split chamber device for determination of permeability under liquid pressure using a photochemical method. Ten specimens were randomly selected and allocated to the evaluation groups Gluma® Desensitizer as aqueous solution and glutaraldehyde/HEMA as fumed silica dispersion, respectively. Dentin disc permeability was determined at two pressure levels after removal of smear with EDTA, after albumin soaking, and after application of the desensitizing agents. Two desensitizer-treated and rinsed specimens of each group were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for surface remnants. RESULTS: Comparatively large standard deviations of the mean EDTA reference and albumin soaked samples permeability values refected the differences of the dentin substrates. The mean chemiluminescence values of specimen treated with GDL and GDG, respectively, were signifcantly reduced after topical application of the desensitizing agents on albumin-soaked dentin. The effects of GDL and GDG on permeability were not signifcantly different. Treated specimens showed no surface remnants after rinsing. CONCLUSIONS: The experimental desensitizer gel formulation reduced dentin permeability as effectively as the original Gluma® Desensitizer solution.

Introdução: Vários tratamentos são propostos para a hipersensibilidade dentinária sendo consenso que o objetivo principal do tratamento é a obliteração dos túbulos dentinários. Objetivo: Avaliar o número de aplicações necessárias para a completa obliteração dos túbulos dentinários utilizando diferentes agentes dessensibilizantes. Material e Método: A porção do esmalte coronário da face vestibular de 40 incisivos bovinos foi removida com auxílio de lixas para expor a dentina superficial da junção amelo-cementária. Em seguida, as raízes e a porção coronária referente ao terço médio-incisal dos dentes foram removidas. A seguir foi realizada a completa remoção de smear layer, evidenciando os túbulos dentinários. As amostras foram divididas em 4 grupos experimentais conforme o agente dessensibilizante utilizado: verniz fluoretado, adesivo dentinário, dessensibilizante dentinário e creme dental. Os produtos foram aplicados de acordo com as recomendações do fabricante. As amostras foram avaliadas previamente e após o uso dos agentes por microscopia eletrônica de varredura de baixo vácuo. A aplicação do agente e a análise foram realizadas até a completa obliteração dos túbulos dentinários. Os dados foram avaliados estatisticamente em relação ao número de aplicações necessárias utilizando os testes de Kruskal-Wallis e Mann-Whitney (pï¼0,05). Resultado: O verniz fluoretado foi o mais eficaz dos agentes avaliados, sendo necessária uma aplicação para a completa obliteração dos túbulos. Para o adesivo dentinário foram necessárias duas aplicações e para o dessensibilizante e o creme dental foram necessárias cinco aplicações. Conclusão: Os agentes dessensibilizantes testados necessitam de um número variado de aplicações, sendo o mais eficaz o verniz fluoretado, onde apenas uma aplicação possibilitou a completa obliteração dos túbulos.

Introduction: Several treatments are proposed for dentin sensitivity and the consensus is that the main objective of the treatment is the complete obliteration of the dentinal tubules. Objective: To evaluate the number of applications necessary for the complete obliteration of the dentinal tubules using different desensitizing agents. Material and Methods: a portion of coronary enamel of the buccal surface of 40 bovine incisors was removed with the aid of sandpaper in order to expose the superficial dentin at the dentin-enamel junction. The roots and the coronary portions of the mesial-incisal third of the teeth were also removed. Complete smear layer removal was performed, exposing the dentinal tubules. Samples were divided into 4 experimental groups as desensitizing agents used: fluoride varnish, dentin adhesive, dentin desensitizing and toothpaste. The products were applied in accordance to the manufacturer's recommendation. Samples were evaluated before and after the application of different agents by scanning electronic microscopy of low vacuum. The application the products and analysis was carried out until complete obliteration of dentinal tubules. Data was evaluated statistically in relation to the required number of applications using Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney (p<0, 05). Results: Fluoride varnish was the most efficient of the tested agents, requiring a single application for the complete dentinal tubule obliteration. For the dentin adhesive, two applications were necessary and for the dentin desensitizing and toothpaste five applications were required. Conclusion: The desensitizing agents tested require distinct number of applications, and the fluoride varnish is the most effective one, which a single application resulted in the complete dentin tubule obliteration.

Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is a painful response to stimulus applied to the open dentinal tubules of a vital tooth. It's a common oral condition, however, without an ideal treatment available yet. This work evaluated in vitro the effect of micron-sized particles from a novel bioactive glass-ceramic (Biosilicate) in occluding open dentinal tubules. A dentin disc model was employed to observe comparatively, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dentinal tubule occlusion by different products and deposition of hydroxyl carbonate apatite (HCA) on dentin surface by Biosilicate, after a single application: G1 - Dentifrice with potassium nitrate and fluoride; G2 - Two-step calcium phosphate precipitation treatment; G3 - Water-free gel containing Biosilicate particles (1 percent); G4 - Biosilicate particles mixed with distilled water in a 1:10 ratio; all of them after 1, 12 and 24 hours of immersion in artificial saliva. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was performed to detect HCA formation on dentin discs filled with Biosilicate after 2 minutes, 30 minutes and 12 hours of immersion in artificial saliva. SEM showed a layer of HCA formed on dentin surface after 24 hours by G4. G1, G2 and G3 promoted not total occlusion of open dentinal tubules after 24 hours. FTIR showed HCA precipitation on the dentin surface induced by Biosilicate after 30 minutes. The micron-sized particles from the bioactive glass-ceramic thus were able to induce HCA deposition in open dentinal tubules in vitro. This finding suggests that Biosilicate may provide a new option for treating DH.

O tratamento das lesões cervicais não cariosas hipersensíveis com agentes dessensibilizantes pode ser uma opção prática e eficaz devido, principalmente, à capacidade desses produtos de obliterarem os túbulos dentinários expostos. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo foi analisar, in vitro, o efeito quantitativo e qualitativo de cinco agentes dessensibilizantes em relação ao seu potencial de obstrução dos túbulos dentinários. Para a análise quantitativa, foram utilizados testes de condutividade hidráulica da dentina em diferentes condições experimentais. Os ensaios foram realizados na seguinte sequência experimental: na presença de smear layer (PMin); após condicionamento com ácido fosfórico a 37%, por 15 segundos (PMax); após a aplicação dos agentes dessensibilizantes e após o desafio com ácido cítrico a 6%, por um minuto. Para isso, foram selecionados 50 terceiros molares humanos hígidos não irrompidos, a partir dos quais foram confeccionados discos de dentina com espessura de 0,80 ± 1,00 mm e divididos em 5 grupos (n=10) de acordo com os diferentes agentes dessensibilizantes: Grupo 1 (Sensiactive); Grupo 2 (Sensitive Pro-Alívio); Grupo 3 (Flúor gel);Grupo 4 (Desensibilize Nano-P); e Grupo 5 (Enamel Pro@ Varnish). As medidas de condutividade hidráulica dentinária (Lp) foram analisadas através do teste ANOVA a dois critérios (p<0,05) para se determinar as diferenças intra e intergrupos. As diferenças individuais foram determinadas pelo teste Tukey, também a um nível de significância de 5%. Já a análise qualitativa foi realizada através da observação de imagens feitas através do microscópio confocal a laser (MCL). Nesse caso, foram selecionados 18 terceiros molares humanos hígidos não irrompidos, sendo que a preparação e armazenamento dos discos para as condições experimentais seguiram os mesmos passos descritos para os experimentos de condutividade hidráulica. Os espécimes foram divididos em 6 grupos, n=3, conforme os materiais experimentais estudados, e os...
The treatment of hypersensitive non carious cervical lesions with desensitizing agents may be a practical and effective alternative, mainly due to the ability of these products to obliterate the exposed dentinal tubules. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate, in vitro, the quantitative and qualitative effect of five desensitizing agents in relation to their ability to obstruct dentinal tubules. The quantitative analysis was based on dentin hydraulic conductance tests achieved under different experimental conditions. The tests were performed in the following experimental sequence: in the presence of smear layer (PMin); after a 15-second acid etching (37% phosphoric acid- PMax); after the application of the desensitizing agents; and after a 1-minute acid challenge (6% citric acid). Fifty sound not erupted extracted human third molars were randomly selected and, from them, 0.08±1.00 mm-thickness dentine discs were obtained for distribution into 5 groups (n=10), according to the different desensitizing agents: Group 1 (Sensiactive); Group 2 (Sensitive Pro-Relief); Group 3 (Fluoride gel); Group 4 (Desensibilize Nano-P) and Group 5 (Enamel Pro@ Varnish). Dentin hydraulic conductance measures (Lp) were analyzed by two-way ANOVA (p<0.05) to determine intra and intergroup differences. Individual differences were determined by Tukey test, also at a significance level of 5%. The qualitative analysis was performed by observing images obtained from specimens via laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM). Here, 18 sound not erupted extracted human third molars were randomly selected and specimens preparation and storage for each experimental condition followed the same steps described for the experiments regarding dentin hydraulic conductance tests. Specimens were divided into 6 groups (n=3), according to studied materials, and each dentin disc was dimidiate to allow performing of the two phases of the experiment on the same disk. A group of...
