Eligibility
Age
18 Years to 60 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Age 18 to 60 years. Both sexes. Without systemic involvement. Non-smokers. Presence of at least 2 teeth with dentin hypersensitivity on the vestibular surface (at least 1 tooth in each hemiarch)
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Dental elements covered by prosthetic work or endodontic treatment. Constant use or with a medical history marked by chronic use of analgesics, anti-inflammatories and psychotropic drugs. Use of orthodontic appliances. Use of desensitizing agents in the last three months. Restorative treatment on the element with sensitivity for less than one month. Abutment teeth of removable partial dentures. Any other painful pathology. Teeth with restorative material on the vestibular surface. Level of cognition that makes it impossible to answer the questionnaires applied. Presence of carious lesions. Pregnant or lactating women. Parafunctional habits. Reflux problems and/or acidic diet. Occlusal problems. Teeth with premature contacts. Teeth with non-carious cervical lesions (clinically noticeable abrasion, abfraction or erosion) and presence of visible sclerotic dentin will be excluded from the research
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the effect of ozone therapy on dentin hypersensitivity, expecting to find a significant reduction in the intensity of pain reported by patients after the intervention. This outcome will be verified through the assessment of dentin sensitivity, using thermal (air blast) and tactile stimuli applied before and after ozone therapy treatment. The occurrence of the outcome will be determined by the statistical comparison of pain scores, measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the duration of the more significant improvement in dentin hypersensitivity compared with the control protocol, expecting to observe a prolonged maintenance of pain reduction in the group submitted to ozone therapy when compared with the control group. This outcome will be verified through longitudinal follow-up of dentin sensitivity, using thermal (air blast) and tactile stimuli applied at different evaluation time points after treatment in both the experimental and control groups. The occurrence of this outcome will be determined by the statistical comparison of pain scores over time, measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) | — |
