BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Cervical dentin hypersensitivity is a routine clinical condition caused by dentin exposure to the oral environment and sensitivity caused by the ingestion of cold, sweet or sour foods, which induces localized, acute and brief pain. This study aimed at clinically evaluating the efficacy of two treatments to improve cervical dentin hypersensitivity, as well as the duration of their effects. METHODS:The study was developed as a clinical, doubleblind and comparative study where 14 patients with cervical dentin hypersensitivity treated in the Clinic School of Dentistry of the University Center Cesmac were selected. Participants were divided in two groups of seven individuals. The first group was submitted to treatment with 5% potassium nitrate desensitizing (Nano P ® -FGM) and the second group received fluoride varnish applications (Fluorniz ® -SS White). Both treatments have followed manufacturers' instructions. RESULTS: Clinical evaluations were performed 7, 14, 21 days and 1 month after treatment. After statistical analysis of results, it was possible to conclude that products have improved initial cervical dentin hypersensitivity in studied dental elements after their applications and that the desensitizing effect of potassium nitrate was longer lasting as compared to fluoride varnish. CONCLUSION: Potassium nitrate desensitizing effect was longer lasting as compared to fluoride varnish. Keywords: Dentin hypersensitivity, Gingival recession, Periodontal therapy. Improvement of cervical dentin hypersensitivity after two different treatments Redução da dor decorrente da hipersensibilidade dentinária cervical após dois tratamentos RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS:A hipersensibilidade dentinária cervical é uma condição clínica rotineira na atualidade que decorre da exposição da dentina ao meio bucal e sensibilidade causada após a ingestão de alimentos frios, doces ou ácidos, o que ocasiona dor localizada, aguda e de curta duração. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar clinicamente a eficácia de dois tratamentos utilizados na redução da hipersensibilidade dentinária cervical, bem como a duração dos seus efeitos. MÉTODOS: O estudo foi desenvolvido como um ensaio clínico duplamente encoberto comparativo, onde foram selecionados 14 pacientescom hipersensibilidade dentinária cervical, atendidos na Clínica Escola de Odontologia do Centro Universitário Cesmac. Os participantes foram divididos em dois grupos com 7 integrantes cada. O primeiro grupo foi submetido ao tratamento com o dessensibilizante à base de nitrato de potássio a 5% (Nano P ® -FGM) e no segundo grupo foi aplicado o verniz fluoretado (Fluorniz ® -SS White). Em ambos os tratamentos foram seguidas as instruções dos fabricantes. RESULTADOS: As avaliações do quadro clínico ocorreram aos 7, 14, 21 dias e 1 mês. Após a análise estatística dos resultados pôde-se concluir que ambos os produtos apresentaram redução clínica inicial no quadro de hipersensibilidade dentinária cervical nos elementos dentais pesquisados após as suas aplic...
