Abstract

Objective: To compare the effect of two desensitizing agents in treating dentinal hypersensitivity.
Materials and Methods: A Randomized clinical trial including 84 individuals aged 18 – 65 years was conducted. By flipping a coin, patients with hypersensitive lesions were split into two groups. Patients in Group A received Tooth mousseTM, while patients in Group B received Dura shieldTM. Patients’ pain responses to compressed air and tactile stimuli were measured using a visual analogue scale at baseline, one week, and 30 days following treatment. SPSS version 17 was used to analyze the data. The study was done at Department of Operative Dentistry, PIMS Islamabad from January 2011 to January 2012.

Results: A statistically significant difference existed between the two groups at seven days (p-value 0.008 )with tactile stimulus and at thirty days (p-value 0.046) with air blast and (p value= 0.016) 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 mousseTM showed better efficacy as compared to Dura shield TM  in relieving dentinal hypersensitivity
