Perbedaan Pengaruh Pasta Gigi Berbahan Dasar Hidroksiapatit dan Eugena caryophillus Terhadap Hipersensitifas Gigi

Abstract

Tooth hypersensitivity is a clinical condition that describes localized, non spontaneous pain, and arises when tooth is stimulated using thermal, chemical, and mechanical stimuli. The use of desensitizing agent such as hydroxyapatite and Eugenia caryophyllus can be used as home treatment that can relieve tooth hypersensitivity. Hydroxyapatite is an inorganic compound that makes up the hard tissues of the human body such as bone, dentine and tooth. Hydroxyapatite has a mechanism to decrease dental hypersensitivity by inducing remineralization of the teeth and close the open dentinal tubules. Eugenia caryophyllus is a material that is used in the field of dentistry and can reduce the pain of tooth hypersensitivity by suppressing nerve receptors in the perception of pain felt by the patient. The aim of this study is to determine the influence of hydroxyapatite-based toothpaste and Eugenia caryophyllus against tooth hypersensitivity. In this observational research, researcher give different type of toothpaste to two groups of research subjects and measure the changes in tooth sensitivity for 15 days. The value of tooth hypersensitivity before and after treatment is tested using Electric Pulp Test (EPT). Independent t-test shows the result of p value = 1.30 (p>0.05). It can be concluded that there is no significant difference between hydroxyapatite and Eugenia caryophyllus in relieving tooth hypersensitivity after being used for 15 days.

The Potential of Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste towards the Hypersensitive Tooth

“…There are researches on the potential of toothpaste made from hydroxyapatite on dental hypersensitivity, including: Aulia (2018) stated that toothpaste made from hydroxyapatite has an effect and works optimally to reduce dental hypersensitivity in long-term use, namely routine use for 6-15 days. 19 Saadah et al ( 2018) stated that administration of nano-hydroxyapatite paste for 7 days resulted in lower enamel microporosity after bleaching treatment than those who were not treated with nano-hydroxyapatite paste. The dentinal tubules can contract or expand in response to a temperature stimulus imposed on the tooth surface.…”

“…At the end of the fourth week of this clinical trial, complaints of dentin hypersensitivity were significantly reduced. 15 The research conducted by Aulia (2018) proved that hydroxyapatite-based toothpaste has an effect and works optimally to reduce dental hypersensitivity in long-term use, namely routine use for 6-15 days. 19 Brannstrom, et al in his book entitled Hydroxiapatite (Hap) for Biomedical Application (2015) wrote the theory that closure of exposed dentinal tubules using production technology and isolation of 2 and 8 mm thick hydroxyapatite sheets was proven to be able to cover the surface of dentinal tubules on day 6 after adhesion.…”

“…Desensitization toothpaste containing hydroxyapatite is used to relieve tooth hypersensitivity by closing the dentinal tubules through the remineralization process of dentin that has undergone a demineralization process. 18 According to Aulia (2018), hydroxyapatite-based toothpaste has an effect and works optimally to reduce dental hypersensitivity in long-term use, namely routine use for 6-15 days. 19 Saadah et al (2018) stated that administration of nanohydroxyapatite paste for 7 days resulted in lower enamel microporosity after bleaching treatment than those who were not treated with nanohydroxyapatite paste.…”

For tooth remineralization, nano-hydroxyapatite has been shown to be a material that can infiltrate dentinal tubules and induce regeneration of the mineralized layer which in turn can prolong the desensitizing effect of hypersensitivity teeth.…”
