Abstract

Using laser for treatment of dentin hypersensitivity (DH) have recently shown promising results and better immediate reduction in pain scores. However, its efficacy and mechanism of action is controversial. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of diode laser compared with sodium fluoride varnish in treating DH in patients with gingival recession. Eighteen patients with Miller’s class I and class II gingival recession and hypersensitivity in at least two non-adjacent teeth were included in the study. Test surfaces (n = 25) were treated with diode laser, whilst control surfaces (n = 23) were treated with 5% sodium fluoride varnish. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores were recorded for air and tactile stimulus for both groups at baseline, 15 min, 1 month and 3 months post-treatment. Results showed significant (p < 0.05) reduction in VAS scores at 15 min, 1 month and 3 months compared with baseline in both test and control surfaces, with no significant intergroup differences. However, the percentage reduction in DH was more in laser at all evaluation periods. The use of diode laser and sodium fluoride varnish showed good immediate and prolonged results. Further studies are needed to come up with more effective treatment methods.

二极管激光与氟化钠清漆治疗牙龈炎致牙本质过敏症的疗效比较
使用激光治疗牙本质过敏症(DH)最近显示出有希望的结果,并能更好地立即降低疼痛评分。然而,其功效和作用机制存在争议。因此,本研究旨在评估二极管激光与氟化钠清漆治疗牙龈退缩患者DH的有效性。18名Miller’s I级和II级牙龈退缩和至少两颗非邻牙过敏的患者被纳入研究。试验表面(n=25)用二极管激光处理,而对照表面(n=23)用5%氟化钠清漆处理。在基线、治疗后15分钟、治疗后1个月和治疗后3个月,记录两组的空气和触觉刺激的视觉模拟量表(VAS)评分。结果显示,与基线相比,试验表面和对照表面在15分钟、1个月和3个月时的VAS评分显著降低(p<0.05),组间无显著差异。然而,在所有评估期间,DH的减少百分比在激光中更大。使用二极管激光和氟化钠清漆显示出良好的即时和长期效果。需要进一步的研究来找出更有效的治疗方法。
