Effect of Nano-hydroxyapatite and LASER on Dentin Hypersensitivity

GLASER received the laser application using the infrared light spectrum with wavelength of 808 nm with its active AsGaAl medium in two points of the vestibular face of the hypersensitive teeth. It was applied at each point 60 J / cm², for 16 seconds. The laser was applied in 2 sessions with a time interval of 24 hours.

The GnHAP volunteers were submitted to the application of Desensibilize Nano P on the vestibular surfaces of hypersensitive teeth with the aid of a Microbrush applicator (Microbrush, 3M ESPE, São Paulo, Brazil) for 10 minutes. Then, a rubber cup (Unid Microdont, São Paulo, SP, Brazil) mounted on a low speed handpiece (Dabi Atlante, Ribeirão Preto, SO, Brazil) was used to scrub the desensitizing gel on teeth for 20 seconds in each tooth, according to the manufacturer's specifications

GLASERnHAP first received laser application and subsequently the application of nanohydroxyapatite according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

In this group, a toothpaste without addition of fluoride or any other desensitizing agent (Natural, Contente®, Uberlândia, MG, Brazil) was applied to hypersensitive dentine. The GPLACEBO volunteers were submitted to the application of placebo dentifrice on the vestibular surfaces of hypersensitive teeth with the aid of a Microbrush applicator (Microbrush, 3M ESPE, São Paulo, Brazil) for 10 minutes. Then, a rubber cup (Unid Microdont, São Paulo, SP, Brazil) mounted on a low speed handpiece (Dabi Atlante, Ribeirão Preto, SO, Brazil) was used to scrub the desensitizing gel on teeth for 20 seconds on each tooth.
