Brief summary
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a self etch adhesive resin and two desensitizing agents(Calcium phosphate, 5% glutaraldehyde) in treatment of dentin hypersensitivity on the quality of life of individuals.
Detailed description
This in-vivo study was done among 69 participants who reported at least one sensitivite tooth(Schiff Sensitivity Score \>1) as a result of the clinical examination. Participants were randomly divided into three treatment groups(n=23): I. Tetracalcium phosphate and dicalcium phosphate containing desensitizer (Teethmate Desensitizer) II. %35 hydroxyethyl methacrylate and %5 glutaraldehyde containing desensitizer (Gluma Desensitizer) III. Self-etch adhesive resin (Hybrid Bond) These materials used in treatment of dentin hypersensitivity in 6 months clinical follow-up and the effects on the quality of life of individuals were evaluated with Dentine Hypersensitivity Experience Questionnaire (DHEQ).
Interventions
OTHERTeethmate Desensitizer
Powder and liquid contained in the material were mixed. It was applied to the buccal surface of the sensitive tooth. then it was washed away from the tooth surface. 1-4 sessions were applied until the sensitivity disappeared.
OTHERGluma Desensitizer
The material was applied to the buccal surface of the tooth with sensitivity. It was washed with water and removed from the tooth surface. 1-4 sessions were applied until the sensitivity disappeared.
OTHERHybrid Bond
It was applied to the buccal surface of the sensitive tooth with an applicator. It was cured with a LED light device. Dentin sensitivity was checked with evaporative air application. The process was repeated until the sensitivity disappeared.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale Scores | Before treatment, immediately after treatment, 1 week, 1 month, 3 month and 6 month | Average scores based on Schiff cold air sensitivity scale after evaporative air application. The Schiff score ranges from 0 to 3. Minimum value is 0, maximum value is 3. An increase in the score from 0 to 3 indicates an increase in sensitivity. |
| Visual Analog Scale(VAS) Scores | Before treatment, immediately after treatment, 1 week, 1 month, 3 month and 6 month | Average scores based on Visual Analog Scale(VAS) after applying evaporative air. The VAS score ranges from 0 to 10. The minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 10. A score of 0 is defined as no pain while a score of 10 is defined as intolerable pain. |
| Dentin Hypersensitivity Experience Questionnaire (DHEQ) scores | Change from baseline quality of life at 6 months | Data obtained after individuals complete the Dentin Hypersensitivity Experience Questionnaire. The decrease in the measured scores over time indicates that the quality of life has improved. |
