Popis: Aim nbsp To evaluate and compare the effect of Er Cr YSGG Laser in sustained dentinal tubules occlusion with different treatment methods used on exposed dentin surface at different time intervals using scanning electron microscopy SEM Material and Methods nbsp natural posterior teeth were sectioned prepared and embedded in acrylic resin Samples were polished to remove the enamel layer and randomly divided into groups Group A negative control group n Group B Desensitizing toothpaste Colgate Sensitive Pro relief Colgate Group Desenstizing Paste MI paste GC Group D Desensitizing varnish VivaSens reg IvoclarVivadent Group E Er Cr YSGG laser Waterlase reg Biolase Inc Each group was treated according to the manufacturer instructions and subjected to aging process Dentin occluded surfaces were examined using SEM Micrographs were taken in three intervals immediately after treatment after two weeks and after one month Qualitative assessment was done for the micrographs to evaluate the surface characteristics Results nbsp The immediate SEM micrographs of showed complete obliteration of most of the dentinal tubules in all treatments used Micrographs taken after two weeks showed sustained occluded dentinal tubules only in the toothpaste group and Er Cr YSGG Laser group Lastly after one month the Er Cr YSGG Lasergroup had the only dentinal tubules that remained completely occluded or at least constricted Conclusion nbsp Er Cr YSGG laser showed constant results in occluding dentinal tubules over a period of one month Clinical significance nbsp Lasers have been found to be effective for long term relief from dentinal hypersensitivity
