Effectiveness of Bioactive Resin Varnish and Fluoride Containing Xylitol Varnish in Management of Teeth Hypersensitivity
Tooth Hypersensitivity
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Tooth Hypersensitivity focused on measuring Hypersensitivity, Sodium Fluoride, Xylitol coated Calcium and Phosphate, BioSmart Light Cured Protective Shield
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Patients complaining of hypersensitive areas on facial surfaces of the teeth (incisors, cuspids, bicuspids, and first molars with exposed cervical dentin)
- Teeth scoring pain (VAS score: greater than or equal to 3) during application of stimulus (air blast and tactile sensitivity test).
- Tooth with exposed root surface, complaining from hypersensitivity (VAS score; greater than or equal to 3).
- Patients with good oral hygiene.
- Co-operative patients who show interest to participate in the study accept the 2-months follow-up period.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients participating in another dental study that may alter the results of this study.
- A medical condition that could hinder the accuracy of pain reporting (e.g., pain disorders).
- Any chronic medical condition that requires the regular use of anti-inflammatory pain medications.
- Patients used or applied a desensitizing varnish within the last four weeks.
- Patients with dental problems; chipped teeth, defective restorations, fractured Un-displaced cuspids or deep dental caries.
- Patients with orthodontic appliances, or bridge work that might interfere with evaluation
- Lack of patient's approval and compliance.
- Patients who are allergic to any ingredients will be used in the study.

BioSmart Light Cured Protective Shield with bioactive S-PRG (Surface Pre-Reacted Glass ionomer) filler technology. S-PRG filler possesses a three-layer structure with a stabilized glass-ionomer-like structure surrounding multifunctional glass fillers, and is subsequently protected by a surface modified layer.
Resin-based 5% sodium fluoride with CXP™ (Xylitol-coated Calcium and Phosphate) technology for unsurpassed fluoride release. The incorporation of CXP™ (xylitol-coated calcium and phosphate) in a permeable resin matrix that does not separate, purportedly drives the sustained, time-released properties of this varnish
It is attributed to the reactivity of the fluoride by adsorbing to the surface and attracting calcium ions forming loosely-bound calcium fluoride (CaF2)- like reservoir which is also considered responsible for the anticaries mechanism and protection against cariogenic acid attack.
