Efficacy of Seventh Generation Bonding Agents as Short-Term Desensitizers Among Patients With Hypersensitivity

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2018-10-07
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The world lacks a gold standard treatment for treating dentin hypersensitivity. Fluoride varnish is most commonly used as a treatment but it causes temporary discoloration of tooth structure and may cause irritation or burning of gums when it comes in contact with gums. Seventh generation bonding agents are less technique sensitive and are easy to use. The present study aims to find out the better seventh generation bonding agent as a treatment option for sensitivity.

A total of 105 patients with dentin hypersensitivity are randomized into three groups. Scaling and root debridement are performed for all the groups. This study compares two seventh generation bonding agents and taking fluoride varnish as control group.
