“…Similar results were obtained in previous studies, according to which diode laser whether used alone or combined with fluoride varnish was significantly more effective than fluoride varnish alone ( P < 0.05). [ 19 20 21 22 23 ] However, the present results were in contrast to the results observed by Corona et al and Dantas et al , who reported no significant difference between diode laser and fluoride varnish in reducing hypersensitivity ( P > 0.05).…”

“…The use of He–Ne and GaAlAs LASER has presented a decrease in sensitivity to thermal and tactile stimuli. [ 10 ] Similarly, in the present study, diode LASER therapy resulted in a considerable decrease in sensitivity after the first application and this is supported by Matsumoto et al . [ 11 ] It was also observed that teeth, which presented exacerbated sharp pain during air blasting and continuous discomfort after the removal of these stimulations before desensitizing treatments, were accomplished, provided an accentuated decrease of painful sensation immediately after the first application of diode LASER and even 1 week after initial irradiation.…”

Context: Dentinal Hypersensitivity is the most common dental problem, in order to find a suitable treatment plan this study was conducted incorporating LASER and desensitizing agents on the patients complaining of dentinal hypersensitivity in cuspids and bicuspids. Most of the desensitizing agents provided incomplete relief hence the combination of LASER and Desensitizing agents proved to be successful. Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy of individual desensitizing agents and c (LASER) and also to know their potential in reducing dentinal hypersensitivity when both desensitizing agents and LASER are combined together and applied on cuspids and bicuspids. Setting and Design: Sixty patients with sensitivity only in cuspids and bicuspids and not having caries, restoration, or undergoing any desensitizing therapy were selected. Patients were divided into 5 groups with 12 patients in each group. Materials and Methods: Air blast stimulus was given for 10 s from 1 cm distance on the affected group. Verbal analog score was recorded. Treatment was carried on according to the groups mentioned: Group I – nanohydroxyapatite was applied for 15 min; Group II – biosilicate was applied for 15 min; Group III – LASER application was done twice for 60 s in noncontact mode; Group IV – Nanohydroxyapatite plus LASER application; and Group V – biosilicate plus LASER application. Desensitizing agent was applied with the applicator tip and was left for 15 min. It was then rinsed and again the stimulus was given, and the score was recorded. The same treatment procedure was repeated on 1 st , 7 th , and 14 th day and the score was recorded and analyzed using ANOVA. Results: The maximum reduction in sensitivity score was observed in patients where nanohydroxyapatite and LASER application was done. Conclusion: All the investigated treatments have promising desensitizing potential, but maximum was found in Group IV > Group V > Group III > Group I > Group II.

Aim: The aim is to compare the effects of diode laser, GC tooth mousse, and sodium fluoride (NaF) varnish on dentinal hypersensitivity by scanning electron microscopic (SEM) evaluation. Materials and Methods: Forty extracted human maxillary first premolar teeth were selected to prepare dentin disc of 2 mm thickness. The specimens were divided into four groups of 10 discs each-Group 1: Negative control, Group 2: Diode laser, Group 3: GC tooth mousse, and Group 4: NaF varnish. Diode laser and NaF was exposed on dentin disc for three consecutive days. GC tooth mousse was applied twice a day for 1 week. All the specimens were examined under SEM at a magnification of ×1500. The standardized SEM microphotographs were analyzed according to the scoring criteria. Statistical Analysis: Friedman test with post hoc Wilcoxon sign rank test for pair wise comparison at different time intervals within the group was computed using SPSS version 20. A P < 0.05 was regarded as statistically significant. Results: The results showed that the use of diode laser was able to achieve complete occlusion of dentinal tubules followed by the use of GC tooth mousse and that of NaF varnish while control group showed completely open tubules. Conclusions: Irradiation of dentinal tubules using diode laser could be effective for routine clinical treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity compared to NaF and GC tooth mousse.
