Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change in dentin hypersensitivity based on pain score measured by the tactile sensitivity test and the evaporative (air blast) sensitivity test using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), before and after the intervention in both study groups. Timepoint: At baseline, at 2 weeks, and at 4 weeks after the start of the intervention. Method of measurement: Assessment of dentin hypersensitivity using the tactile test (light probing of cervical area with a periodontal probe) and the evaporative test (controlled air blast applied at a standard distance), and recording pain intensity on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) ranging from 0 to 10. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change in gingival recession, including the distance from the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) to the gingival margin (in millimeters) and the change in recession class according to the Miller classification throughout the study period. Timepoint: At baseline, at 2 weeks, and at 4 weeks after initiation of the intervention. Method of measurement: Assessment of gingival recession using a standard periodontal probe to measure the distance from the CEJ to the gingival margin (in millimeters), along with classification of recession according to the Miller criteria, performed by a trained examiner under supervision of a periodontist. | — |
