Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that the universal adhesive system and flow resin as obliterating agents improve the effectiveness and durability of the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity when compared to the use of potassium nitrate associated with glutaraldehyde, control group | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate the periodontal condition of patients, determined through clinical assessment before the intervention and within 7, 30, 90 and 180 days for follow-up;Evaluate patients' quality of life, determined through the quality of life questionnaire, before the intervention and within 90 and 180 days for follow-up | — |
