Summary

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of desensitizing agent Propolis, after an in -office vital tooth bleaching and to compare its desensitizing effect to traditionally used desensitizing agent fluoride varnish.

After performing the bleaching procedure respective desensitizing agent was applied to each group for 10 minutes. Visual analogue scale and Schiff's scale were used to assess the sensitivity after completion of treatment. Subjective non stimulated assessment of sensitivity was done by using the visual analogue scale from day 1 till day 7 on given Performa and Objective stimulated assessment of sensitivity was done at the dental office on day 1 right after the procedure and at day 7 on follow-up after one week.

Kruskal-Wallis test was applied to check median pain score and sensitivity difference between and among the groups. Mann-Whitney U test was applied to check further pairwise comparison between the groups.
