Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1.Symptom of DH prior to periodontal treatment 2.Using agents to treat hypersensitivity in the past 3 months 3.Pharmacotherapeutic histories that may compromise the protocol including the chronic use of anti-inflammatory, analgesic and mind-altering drugs 4.Allergy to either 5% calcium sodium phosphosilicate or 8% arginine and calcium carbonate 5.DH from dental caries, defective restoration, fractured tooth 6.Extensively restored teeth and those with restorations extending into the test area 7.Orthodontic appliance treatment within previous 3 months 8.Crowded teeth 9.Abutment teeth for fixed or removable prostheses
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale baseline, immediately after in-office apply desensitizing toothpaste, 1, 2 , 4, and 8 weeks A blast of air from a dental syringe will be applied. The investigator will assess patient response. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| VAS sensitivity score baseline, immediately after in-office apply desensitizing toothpaste, 1, 2 , 4, and 8 weeks The examiner will move the explorer in mesiodistal direction on the area of exposed dentin and ask t,Overall VAS sensitivity score in daily life baseline, 1, 2 , 4, and 8 weeks Patient reported outcome using a questionnaire interview | — |
