EFFECTIVENESS OF A HOMECARE DESENSITIZER FOR PATIENTS WITH DENTIN HYPERSENSITIVITY (ECR)
Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of a desensitizing gel for topical and home use in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity (DH) through a randomized clinical trial, double-blind, with three parallel treatment. Methods: 126 subjects were divided into three groups: placebo gel (PG), test gel (TG) (5% sodium fluoride, potassium oxalate 5%, strontium chloride 10%) and sodium fluoride gel (2% FG ). The measurement of DH was performed by a single examiner blinded by the visual analog scale (VAS) after tactile, thermal and osmotic stimuli in the Baseline, 7, 15 and 30 days.

Conditions
- Dentin Sensitivity
Interventions
- placebo gel
- 5% sodium fluoride, potassium oxalate 5%, strontium chloride 10%
- Fluoride neutral NaF gel 2 %
Primary outcomes
- dentine hypersensitivity with visual analog scale (VAS) following tactile, thermal and osmotic stimulus — Change from Baseline in VAS Scale at 7 days.
The DH was measured on 7 days after products use. It was evaluated on the buccal surface of the tooth selected using a visual analog scale (VAS) immediately after application of the air jet, created with the triple syringe, at a distance of 10 mm from the tooth for 10 seconds, in the region of exposure root. The touch test was performed on the exposed root surface by applying a light force with blunt probe perpendicular to the long axis of the tooth for 10 seconds. Finally, we applied the test with water jet, using the perpendicular triple syringe and spaced 10 mm of the tooth to be tested. DH evaluations were performed with an interval of 1 minute to minimize interactions between examinations. All reviews of DH were conducted by a single trained examiner (M.M.). - dentine hypersensitivity with visual analog scale (VAS) following tactile, thermal and osmotic stimulus — Change from Baseline in VAS Scale at 15 days.
he DH was measured on 15 days after products use. It was evaluated on the buccal surface of the tooth selected using a visual analog scale (VAS) immediately after application of the air jet, created with the triple syringe, at a distance of 10 mm from the tooth for 10 seconds, in the region of exposure root.
