“…The results showed a complete reduction of dentin hypersensitivity especially after one minute of application [16]. In a study by Acharya et al [26], the comparison of diode laser with different toothpastes and mouthwashes containing potassium nitrate and herbal ingredients yielded positive outcomes in all groups. However, diode laser showed the best results in reducing dentin hypersensitivity.…”

Purpose:The aim of this study was to assess the effect of mouthwash, diode laser and their combination on dentin hypersensitivity(DH). Methods:Forty dentin specimens were enabled and exposed dentinal tubules were created in vitro. They are assigned into four groups; control group, mouthwash with 1.4% dipotassium oxalate, combination of the same mouthwash and 810 nm diode laser, only diode laser. The occlusion of dentinal tubules were then observed with SEM. Results:The analysis resulted with the occlusion of dentinal tubules in all treatment groups but the results were more prominent in the combined treatment group. The number of open dentinal tubules in 100µm was significantly more in control group(p<0.05). Conclusion:Dentinal tubule occlusion was achieved both by mouthwash with 1.4% dipotassium oxalate and 810 nm diode laser. However, the combination of both treatments resulted with the best outcome and can be used in patients with dentin hypersensitivity.

“…The control group was advised to use desensitizing paste which is commercially available as RR Thermoseal (potassium nitrate 5% w/w in tooth paste, monofluorophosphate 0.7% w/w) twice daily. [ 24 25 ] Er, Cr: YSGG laser exposure for the test group has been completed. As determined by the VAS score, the results indicated that laser desensitization is more efficient at lowering DH.…”

The study's objective was to assess the effectiveness of conventional and laser-assisted desensitization in treating dentinal hypersensitivity (DH). Twenty patients were divided into experimental and control groups. Following scaling, patients in the control group were instructed to utilize desensitization paste; however, after comprehensive scaling, patients in the experimental group received treatment with the erbium, chromium, yttrium, scandium, gallium garnet (Er, Cr: YSGG) laser. Before laser emission, the visual analog scale (VAS) score was obtained for both groups. Postoperative VAS scores were recorded right away, 1 week and 1 month later for the test group, and 1 week and 1 month later for the control group, following the use of desensitizing paste. In comparison to the control group, the Er, Cr: YSGG laser treatment had a substantially higher desensitizing impact right away, according to the data. The variances in the mean VAS scores between baseline and all time periods after treatment for the test group were statistically significant. At any subsequent assessment, there were no discernible variations in plaque index between the test and control groups. The Er, Cr: YSGG laser is found to be more effective than the control group in treating DH within the confines of this investigation.

“…Various studies have been conducted in the past using lasers in combination with different dentifrice, mouthwashes, and chemical agents for reducing dentinal hypersensitivity [6][7][8]. In this study, our objective was to analyze the occluding effects of dentinal tubules by using Er:YAG lasers and a commercially available desensitizing toothpaste containing 8% arginine-calcium carbonate and their combined effect on dentinal tubule occlusion.…”

Objective This in vitro scanning electron microscopic (SEM) study aimed to compare the effect of Er:YAG laser and a commercially launched dental product namely 8% arginine-calcium carbonate on exposed dentinal tubules. Materials and methods A total of 120 tooth samples prepared from healthy maxillary first premolars extracted due to orthodontic reasons were grouped randomly into four groups of 30 samples each - Group I: control group (C); Group II: laser group (LG); Group III: toothpaste group (TP) and Group IV: laser + toothpaste group (LT). The samples in Group II-IV were treated with the respective test agents and were placed under SEM to study the changes in the dentinal tubule number and diameter. The data obtained from SEM were then subjected to statistical analysis using an unpaired t-test. Results The unpaired t-test revealed extreme statistical differences in means between the test and the control groups and among the test groups (p<0.0001). The results we obtained within the scope of this study showed that both the Er:YAG laser (1.3 W, 100 mJ, 3 Hz, 60 s twice) and dentifrice containing 8% arginine-calcium carbonate as the main ingredient can significantly reduce the number and diameter of the open dentinal tubules. Conclusion Our findings have demonstrated that both the 8% arginine-calcium carbonate technology and Er:YAG laser successfully reduced the number and diameter of the open dentinal tubules and hence can be promising agents to deal with dentinal hypersensitivity in future clinical studies.
