Desensitizers in Reducing Post Tooth Preparation Sensitivity for a Fixed Dental Prosthesis
Dentin Hypersensitivity
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Dentin Hypersensitivity focused on measuring Pre-cementation sensitivity, Desensitizers
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- The inclusion criteria were: minimum of one posterior tooth missing and patient in need of fixed dental prosthesis (porcelain fused to metal); abutment teeth with a vital pulp, normal apical periodontal ligament space, no history of hypersensitivity; and previous restorations not involving more than 50% of the coronal tooth surface.
Exclusion Criteria:
- The exclusion criteria were: patients with chronic diseases, gross oral pathology, or those undergoing any kind of medications; subjects with teeth that had extensive restorations, mobility or periodontal diseases; pregnant or lactating women; and individuals participating in any other clinical study.

Sensitivity level scores were evaluated on the Visual Analogue Scale using cold stimuli (Cold Test) and electrical stimuli (Electric Pulp Test) at all the 3-time intervals, i. e first, second, and the third visit and then telephonically two weeks after the final cementation.
In desensitizer groups, respective desensitizer application was done following the manufacturer's directions immediately after tooth preparation before final impressions were made (first visit), before metal try-in (second visit) and before final cementation (third visit). Sensitivity level scores were evaluated, before the desensitizer application, on the Visual Analogue Scale using cold stimuli (Cold Test) and electrical stimuli (Electric Pulp Test) at all the 3-time intervals, i. e first, second, and the third visit and then telephonically two weeks after the final cementation. The data were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc Bonferroni and unpaired t-test.
