Dental Hypersensitivity
Conditions
Brief summary
This randomized, double-blind clinical trial evaluated the effect of photobimodulation associated with 8% strontium acetate in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity in non-carious lesions and analyzed the risk factors with the patient's quality of life.
Interventions
OTHERPhoton Laser III-DMC (without radiation emission) + My First- Colgate
Positioning of the FBM (Photon Laser III / DMC) without emitting radiation, the equipment's sound was mimicked with the Beep application (Foncannon Inc, Google, © 2018), followed by the use of fluoride-free toothpaste (My First- Colgate) and brushing three times a day.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| dentin sensitivity | 30 days after the end of treatment | evaluation of dentinal sensitivity during treatment and one month after its end, by means of tactile and evaporative stimuli according to the visual analog scale with values from 0 to 10, with higher values indicating a worse level of pain. |
