Objective: To compare the efficacy of two desensitizing agents in relieving dentinal hypersensitivity.
Materials and Methods: A Randomized clinical trial including 84 patients of age range between 18 – 65 years was carried out and patients having hypersensitive lesions were divided into two groups by the flip of coin. Tooth mousse TM was applied to patients in Group A and Dura shield TM to patients in group B. visual analog scale was used to assess patient’s pain response to compressed air and tactile stimuli and recorded at baseline, one week and 30 days after application of agents. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 17. The study was done at Department of Operative Dentistry, PIMS Islamabad from January 2011 to January 2012.
Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the two treatment groups at seven days (p-value 0.008 )with tactile stimulus and at thirty days (p-value 0.046) with air blast stimulus and (p value= 0.016) with tactile stimulus after application with tooth mousse showing pain relief in more number of patients as compared to fluoride varnish group.
Conclusion: The comparison of two agents in this study showed that Tooth mousse TM showed better results in relieving dentinal hypersensitivity than Dura shieldTM.
