RESUMO:

BACKGROUND: The treatment of Dentin Hypersensitivity (DH) is based on the act of desensitizing the nerves that follow the odontoblastic process or obliterating the exposed dentinal tubules to prevent the stimulus from reaching the pulp. Although there are several forms of treatment for DH, the main challenge is to find a substance or form of treatment that effectively eliminates pain and does not recur in the short or long term. OBJECTIVE: This randomized controlled clinical trial evaluated the efficacy of 4% sodium fluoride solution for the treatment of DH, comparing it to low power laser therapy with visible infrared LASER emitter, and the active AsGaAl medium. METHODOLOGY: The sample was composed of 92 dental elements selected after being submitted to two stimuli, a tactile one, with the exploratory probe tip traversing the cervical region and a second thermal-evaporative stimulus, with the air jet of the triple syringe on the cervical region. At the end of each of these stimuli, the sensitivity was measured through a visual numerical scale. Once the initial records were obtained, the teeth were randomly and alternately divided into two groups (Group 1 and Group 2) to receive the treatment according to the group for which it was selected. For Group 1, 4% sodium fluoride solution was applied in three sessions, with intervals of 1 week between them. On the other hand, the dental elements of Group 2 received low-power laser irradiation of AsGaAl diode in a punctual way, in the cervical region of the vestibular face in three sessions with intervals of 1 week between them. At each application of the 4% sodium fluoride solution or the low-power LASER, patient responses to tactile and thermal-evaporative stimuli were recorded on the visual numerical scale. At the end of the treatment and with one, three and six months, new evaluations were carried out to verify the effectiveness of the substances in the long term. Statistical analysis of the data was done using non-parametric Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests, to be complemented in the future with a descriptive analysis composed of tables and graphs. PARTIAL RESULTS: In the post-treatment evaluations, both groups had a statistically significant reduction in pain. However, no statistically significant differences were observed between the two therapies (P> 0.05).
