The effectiveness of home-use photobiomodulation toothbrush for treating dentin hypersensitivity A pilot study

خلاصه انگلیسی

Background and Aims: Dentin hypersensitivity is a frequent oral condition among patients suffering from gingival recession. Recent studies have suggested that photobiomodulation has the potential to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients with gingival recession and dentin hypersensitivity were selected and randomly assigned to three groups of equal size: fluoride varnish, photobiomodulation, and the combination. Dentin pain and hypersensitivity were measured using visual analog scale (VAS) by two distinct tests: the contact test with a periodontal probe and the air blast test on the areas of gingival recession and denuded root; once at baseline and again one month after the initial application of treatments. Results: A significant reduction in dentin pain and hypersensitivity was observed in all three groups. However, the reduction was significantly greater in the combination group. Conclusion: At-home treatment of dentin hypersensitivity with photobiomodulation toothbrush is a convenient, safe, and effective method for the management of dentin hypersensitivity. Key words: Dentin hypersensitivity • photobiomodulation • fluoride varnish
