Evaluation of dentinal tubule occlusion using a desensitizing toothpaste and mouthwash for a period of 60 days: Scanning electron microscopy analysis

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.

Background and aim. Dentinal hypersensitivity is a significant clinical problem encountered in daily dental practice. The management of this condition requires a good understanding of the complexity of the problem, as well as the variety of treatments currently available. The treatment approaches can be either home care products or professionally applied desensitizing agents. The present in-vitro study was designed to investigate the dentinal tubule occluding ability of commercially available nano HA containing mouthwash using FESEM analysis. Methods: In the present in -vitro study, 15 human premolars and canines were taken and sectioned mesiodistally. A total of 30 dentinal samples were obtained. All the dentinal discs were etched with 6% citric acid for 2 minutes. The treated samples were washed thoroughly with distilled water for 30 seconds. Samples were divided in two groups of 15 each. The specimens in Group I were shaken vigorously in the Vitis Sensitive mouthwash for 2 min twice daily for 14 days. After this intervention samples were placed in distilled water. Group II were immersed in distilled water. Samples were subjected to FESEM to analyze for tubular occlusion. Results. In group I nearly complete dentinal surface occlusion was present on the 7th and 14th day and precipitates were seen covering a large part of the dentinal surface. In group II no dentinal tubular occlusion was observed. Conclusion. The results of the present study support the ability of nHA containing Vitis sensitive mouthwash to occlude the dentinal tubules and thus it may demonstrate a significant reduction in dentinal hypersensitivity when used clinically.

“…For group 1(No acid challenge); subgroup A received no treatment, subgroups B, C and D were treated with Sodium fluoride (NaF) paste, Nano seashell paste and signal Complete 8 paste respectively. The paste was rubbed on the sample surface using a micro brush for 2 minutes after which they were rinsed with deionized water for 30 seconds and then stored in the container filled with artificial saliva at 37 ֯ C. [29] This treatment procedure was repeated every 12 hours for 14 days [30,31] . The artificial saliva was changed every 24 hours.…”

Objectives: To evaluate the efficiency and stability of Nano seashell, Sodium Fluoride and Signal Complete 8 in treatment of dentine hypersensitivity.Methods: Forty freshly extracted premolar teeth were collected, disinfected, and sliced into 1.0± 0.1mm thickness. The dentin discs were randomly divided into two main groups of 20 discs each. Group 1(n=20): Dentin discs subjected to treatment not followed by acid challenge. Group 2 (n=20): Dentin discs subjected to treatment followed by acid challenge. Each group was further subdivided into 4 subgroups of 5 discs each according to the treatment used; Subgroup A (Control group): discs received no treatment; Subgroup B: discs treated with Sodium Fluoride paste; Subgroup C: discs treated with Nano Seashell paste; Subgroup D: discs treated with Signal Complete 8 toothpaste. Evaluation of dentinal tubules obliteration was done under scanning electron microscope.Results: There was a significant change in the diameter of tubules and percentage of occlusion for group 1. Group 2 (subjected to acid challenge after treatment) has shown high stability for subgroup B (Sodium Fluoride), followed by subgroup D (Signal Complete 8) then subgroup C (Nano seashell paste). Conclusion:Nano seashell and Sodium Fluoride caused significant increase of occluded dentinal tubules than Signal complete 8 but the mineral deposits formed by Sodium Fluoride showed higher resistance to acidic environment than those formed by Nano seashell.
