| Abstrakt: | Purpose: Dentin hypersensitivity is characterized by short, sharp pain arising from exposed dentin in response to external stimuli. Several modalities have been suggested for treatment of this condition such as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and application of dentin bonding agents. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical efficacy of diode laser, Nd:YAG laser and dentin bonding agent for treatment of dentin hypersensitivity. Materials and Methods: In this study, 135 teeth of 22 patients diagnosed with dentin hypersensitivity were divided into three groups: In group 1, the teeth were irradiated by diode laser with 810 nm wavelength for 30 seconds and in group 2, the teeth were irradiated by Nd:YAG laser with 1064 nm wavelength for 40 seconds. CLEARFIL SE BOND was applied on teeth in group 3. LLLT was carried out in 3 sessions with 7-day intervals between sessions, during a period of 3 consecutive weeks. Hypersensitivity was assessed by cold test according to the criteria proposed by Uchida at baseline, immediately after treatment and at 1, 3 and 6 months, postoperatively. Results: Reduction of dentin hypersensitivity was observed at 3 and 6 months following the use of Nd:YAG laser (p < 0.001) . Reduction in dentin hypersensitivity was observed immediately after treatment in all groups. Statistically significant differences in level of dentin hypersensitivity were found between groups at 3 and at 6 months (p ≤ 0.001) . The reduction in dentin hypersensitivity by Nd:YAG laser was significantly superior to that in other groups at this time. Conclusion: The efficacy of Nd:YAG laser in reduction of dentin hypersensitivity was significantly superior to that of other modalities at 3 and 6 months. |
