Evaluation of the Effects of 810 nm Diode Laser Alone and in Combination With Gluma©and Chromophore on Dentinal Tubule Occlusion: A Scanning Electron Microscopic Analysis

Abstract: Introduction: Tooth hypersensitivity is among the most common patient complaints caused by the response of exposed dentin to external stimuli. No definite treatment has been suggested so far for dentin hypersensitivity (DH). This study aimed to compare the efficacy of the diode laser alone and in combination with Gluma and chromophore in occluding opened dentine tubules and the treatment of DH. Methods: This in vitro study was conducted on 30 extracted human third molars kept in 0.1% thymol solution. The tee… Show more

“…The authors describe that in a group in which the surgery was performed with a diode laser with a wavelength of 980 nm, in 17.6% of the patients there was no bleeding, and it was self-limiting in the rest, 82.4%. It should be noted that the following additional characteristic of bleeding during the procedure was reported in our study-'requiring slight pressure to terminate it' (in 10 of the cases-24.4%)-and the abovementioned authors did not cite this variant of the indicator, due to which the comparison of the specific variable was not accurate enough [7][8][9][10]41]. Another intraoperative characteristic analyzed in our study was the tissue adherence to the instrument during the manipulation.…”

“…According to the data from our study, at the end of the 2nd week (on the 14th day) all gingival resected tissues were completely healed, which demonstrates an accelerated regeneration process after diode laser gingivectomy. In this case, we assume that during the manipulation, the laser beams were absorbed by the surrounding tissues and led to modified biotransformation, accelerating the healing processes [41].…”

“…As a global challenge in dental clinics, dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is characterized by a transient, sharp pain originating from the exposure of dentin [1]. The prevalence of DH varies widely, depending on the mode of investigation Effective occlusion of dentin tubules to avoid exposure to stimuli from the external environment is considered to be a reliable strategy for avoiding the fluid movement and reducing dentin permeability, thereby alleviating DH and protecting the dental pulp [2][3][4]. Low remineralization efficiency with distributed minerals was observed on the dentin surface after immersion in a remineralizing solution, suggesting that it is ineffective for the initialization of hydroxyapatite (HA) nucleation and growth [5].…”

“…Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is a common clinical problem affecting all age groups. 1 It is more commonly seen in canine and premolar teeth of both jaws. 2 DH is determined with a short, sharp pain due to the reaction of exposed dentin to different stimuli such as heat, touch, osmotic pressure or chemical stimuli.…”
