|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: It is expected to find an improvement in dentin sensitivity, assessed by the VAS scale, the study's primary variable, in the 5% Sodium Fluoride group associated with Low Power Laser Therapy (F+LLLT) after 24 and 30 hours. 90 and 180 days.;Outcome found 1: Through the evaluation of the VAS pain scale, an improvement in dentin sensitivity was observed, it was observed that therapy (F) demonstrated the greatest reduction in hypersensitivity in 180 days, this being considered the therapy with the greatest effectiveness and effect lasting in the medium term. | — |
