potassium nitrate/hypersensitivity

OBJECTIVE The aim of this clinical investigation was to compare the efficacy of Gluma Desensitizer and potassium nitrate desensitizing agents on the reduction of hypersensitivity of teeth prepared for full coverage crowns. METHODS This study included 75 vital teeth in 25 patients in need of fixed

BACKGROUND Calcium sodium phosphosilicate is a recently introduced desensitizing agent which acts by occluding the dentinal tubules and also resists acid decalcification. This study was designed to assess the efficacy of a new toothpaste containing 5% calcium sodium phosphosilicate for the treatment

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a new toothpaste containing an antiplaque and antiinflammatory agent (0.3% triclosan), a desensitizing agent (5% potassium nitrate) and an anticaries agent (0.76% sodium monofluorophosphate (SMFP)) on gingival health, plaque

OBJECTIVE This systematic review and Meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy of calcium sodium phos-phosilicate (CSPS) and potassium nitrate as desensitizing agents for the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity (DH). METHODS A thorough search in The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Chinese

Potassium Nitrate has been used as a desensitizing agent to treat dentinal hypersensitivity. The effectiveness of a potassium nitrate is evaluated both in the form of a toothpaste and a mouthwash in a clinical study. Thirty patients were assessed using evaporative stimuli and thermal stimuli and

UNASSIGNED Dentinal hypersensitivity (DH) is a chronic disorder in which patients report sharp and acute pain to a variety of stimuli. Till date, a standardized procedure to treat DH is missing, though several alternative treatment strategies have been designed, including laser

BACKGROUND A considerable number of agents are effective in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity. This 6-week randomized clinical trial compares a dentifrice containing calcium sodium phosphosilicate to potassium nitrate and to a placebo. METHODS A total of 110 subjects (58 males and 52 females;

A considerable number of varied agents are apparently effective in the treatment of dentine hypersensitivity. In particular, the literature supports the efficacy of strontium, potassium and fluoride containing toothpastes. This study was a double-blind, randomised, parallel group comparison of three

This article summarizes the concepts that are believed to cause dentinal hypersensitivity. It is no longer necessary and may not be feasible to obliterate dentinal tubules to obtain relief from the pain caused by dentinal hypersensitivity. In-office agents that obliterate the dentinal tubules may

The effectiveness of potassium nitrate (5%, delivered in a low abrasive toothpaste vehicle) as a daily home treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity was evaluated in a 4-week, double-blind, parallel, comparative study of 27 subjects with the condition. Hypersensitivity levels in affected teeth were

Dentinal hypersensitivity (DH) can have a significant impact on oral health and functioning, and it is a clinical symptom commonly managed by dentists during routine clinical practice. DH symptoms are typically elicited by otherwise innocuous, nonpainful stimuli applied to exposed dentin (e.g.,

The concept of tubular occlusion as a method of dentine desensitisation is a logical conclusion from the hydrodynamic hypothesis put forth by Brannström. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate qualitatively by SEM whether a 3% potassium nitrate/0.2% sodium fluoride mouthwash occluded

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relative effectiveness provided by a new dentifrice containing 5.0% potassium nitrate and 0.454% stannous fluoride in a silica base (Colgate Sensitive Maximum Strength) for reducing dentin hypersensitivity over an 8-wk period, as compared to that provided by a

OBJECTIVE To compare the plaque inhibition efficacy of a sodium fluoride/potassium nitrate (NaF/KNO3 with 1450 ppm F) test dentifrice to a 0.454% stannous fluoride/sodium hexametaphosphate/sodium fluoride positive control dentifrice (SnF2/SHMP with 1450 ppm F). METHODS Twenty-five subjects were
