Abstract
Purpose: Dentinal hypersensitivity (DH) is one of the most common dental problems with no definitive treatment till date. The aim of the present study is to compare the efficacy of new agents like 27% potassium oxalate gel and diode laser in the treatment of DH.Method: In this in-vivo randomized clinical trial (RCT), 50 patients were selected. Two sites were selected per patient. On one site, 27% potassium oxalate gel was applied for 90 seconds and the other site was irradiated by diode laser (970nm, 0.5W) for 45seconds. Sensitivity was measured immediately upon application, followed by 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 week, 2 weeks, and 1 month.Results: Reduction in DH was seen in both groups equally. Conclusion: Both the agents are equally effective in reduction of DH.
