Effectiveness for dentin hypersensitivity treatment of non-carious cervical lesions: a meta-analysis

Abstract: The results of pairwise meta-analysis suggest that among in-office treatments, dentinal tubule occlusion (whether chemical or physical) and nerve desensitization provide the best outcomes for treatment of dentin hypersensitivity. For in-home treatments, only chemical occlusion of dentin tubules and nerve desensitization showed a greater treatment efficacy than placebo and the difference was statistically significant.

“…Based on these results, it can be inferred that, except for RDC, most of the toothpastes present relative stability, because an ideal polydispersity index would be lower than 0.20. 33 The zeta potential varied as a function of the toothpastes, with none of them displaying a tendency to aggregation. The particle size and the percentage weight of particles are also important parameters to analyze.…”

“…30 Different action mechanisms of desensitizers have been identified; their overall aim is to reduce the fluid flow within dentinal tubules by obliterating them or blocking the neural responses triggering the pain response. 15 However, there is no desensitizing agent or management strategy that can be currently deemed as ideal for all patients in reducing or eliminating DH, and used as the gold standard treatment. 32 This being the case, clinicians are still uncertain as to what products can offer their patients clinical benefits.…”

“…1,14 A large number of in-office DH treatment options have been reported to date, such as fluoride cavity varnishes, potassium-based agents, glutaraldehyde-based agents, oxalates, calcium phosphates, strontium or acetate chlorides, resinbased sealants and laser therapy. 15 However, despite the wide-ranging agents available and approaches described in the literature, surveys worldwide 16,17,18,19,20,21 suggest knowledge gaps and failing confidence by dental professionals in managing DH.…”
