Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Healthy volunteers, both genders, aged between 18 and 50 years; present at least 1 tooth with an exposed root with sensitivity greater than 1 on the verbal response scale (RSV), measured after evaporative stimulus (air jet at 1 cm from the region to be analyzed); present gingival recession only on the buccal surface, of Miller class I or II types, with an extension between 2 and 5 mm.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Active caries lesions in any dental element; make chronic use of medications with analgesic, anti-inflammatory or drugs with central effect (anxiolytics and antidepressants); being under psychological counseling; make use of desensitizing agents (at home) in the last 3 months or in the office (6 months); pregnancy; allergy to any of the components of the treatments; being under orthodontic treatment; presence of removable or fixed prosthesis in the teeth under analysis; presence of Miller class III and IV recessions; patients with active periodontal disease; recession on the palatal and / or proximal surfaces; presence of furcation lesion in the selected teeth; daily use of mouthwash and mouthwashes (fluoride); presence of deep non-carious cervical lesions that need restoration.
