potassium oxalate/hypersensitivity

This study observed the potassium oxalate including fluoride gel on the reduction of dentin hypersensitivity both in clinic and in laboratory.The results of the clinical treatment showed that this gel was statistically significant in reducing dentin hypersensitivity when the teeth treating by the

BACKGROUND The present study aimed to verify the effect of a single application of 3% potassium oxalate gel compared to a placebo gel immediately after subgingival scaling and root planing (SRP) on dentinal hypersensitivity (DH). METHODS Fifteen patients undergoing periodontal treatment volunteered

This study was aimed to test the effectiveness of a new desensitizing agent-30% potassium oxalate gel in tooth hypersensitivity. Thirty adult patients with 41 hypersensitive teeth were selected at Department of Dentistry, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at Kaohsiung, from September 1992 to March 1993.

A novel potassium oxalate-based hydrogel is proposed for treating dentin hypersensitivity and this study evaluates its in vitro performance as a remineralizing, desensitizing agent. Etched disks of human dentin were treated for 10 or 20 min using the test hydrogel, to mimic a professional

Objectives: To determine if an oxalate strip reduced fluid flow in dentine samples and whether this reduction was maintained following a 14 day intra-oral period. Methods:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the occluding ability of calcium phosphate precipitation (CPP) method and potassium oxalate treatment when each method was applied to dentin disks with different surface morphology. Occluding ability was observed by scanning electron microscopy. Irrespective of

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of a desensitizing gel for topical and home use for the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity (DH) by means of a 3-arm parallel, randomized, double blind clinical trial. METHODS 107 participants were allocated to three groups: placebo gel (PG), test gel (TG)

Dentinal hypersensitivity is defined as short and transient painful response of exposed dentin, usually cervical, to different stimuli, such as thermal, mechanical osmotic or chemical. The etiology of dentinal hypersensitivity is open tubules (because of enamel loss or gingival recession), allowing

Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is related to an increase in dentin permeability. This study tested the effect of titanium tetrafluoride (TiF4) compared with sodium fluoride (NaF) and potassium oxalate gel on reducing hydraulic conductance (Lp) from the perspective of diminishing dentin permeability.

Formulations containing potassium salts (e.g., chloride, nitrate, citrate, oxalate) are widely used for treating dentin hypersensitivity (DH). The purpose of this review was to evaluate evidence for the clinical efficacy of potassium salts in reducing DH and also to consider the biologic basis for

The aim of this randomized, controlled, split-mouth, clinical study was to differentiate and clinically qualify the effectiveness of different desensitizing agents in the treatment of painful symptoms caused by cervical dentin hypersensitivity (CDH). Two hundred-and-fifty-two teeth of 42 patients

For well over a century, there has been cognizance that sensitivity is a serious problem, that it arises when the dentin and cementum are exposed, that fluid movement within the dentinal tubules acts as a provocative stimulus, that tubules can be sealed off (apparently in most instances) without

The use of a calcium phosphate precipitation method occluded dentin tubules with apatitic mineral and, thus, showed good potential for the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity. The aim of this study was to elucidate the occluding behavior of the precipitate in the oral environment. Dentin disks

Dentin hypersensitivity can be a major problem for periodontal patients. The relationship between dentin hypersensitivity and the patency of dentin tubules in vivo has been established. Thirteen adult patients with teeth scheduled for extraction were selected and a stent fabricated to confirm

This study evaluated in vitro the effect of an experimental gel containing iron on the reduction of hydraulic conductance of dentin. Thirty-six 1-mm-thick dentin discs obtained from extracted human third molars were divided into 3 groups of 10 specimens each. The groups corresponded to the following
