Abstract

|

Purpose: Post abutment-preparation hypersensitivity and cervical hypersensitivity are serious clinical problems. To solve these problems, clinical modalities including various chemicals and laser have been developed. This study intended to provide dentists with information on cost effectiveness of the modalities.
Methods: 24 patients who visited Bundang Jesaeng hospital for the treatment of hypersensitive teeth consented to participate into this study. Superseal짋 (Phoenix Dental. INC, USA), MS-Coat짋 (Sun medical Co. LTD, Japan), Gluma짋 (Heraeus Kulzer, Germany), Copalite varnish짋 (Cooley & Cooley LTD, USA), and CO2 laser (Sharplan 15F, USA)) were randomly allocated to 150 teeth. Immediately after treatment effect was measured and after 7-10 days the continuity of effect was measured. Clinical effectiveness was analyzed using percentage(%) and statistical significance was analyzed using Chi-Square test.
Results: Clinical effectiveness immediately after treatment was not statistically significant (P=0.11) and as followings: Copalite varnish짋 (60%), CO2 laser(60%), Superseal짋(53%), MS-Coat짋(37%), Gluma짋(27%). Continuity of effectiveness after 7-10 days was statistically significant(P=0.0004) and as followings: CO2 laser(78%), MS-Coat짋(73%), Superseal짋(69%), Gluma짋(63%), Copalite varnish짋(11%).
Conclusions: Comprehensive consideration of this study’s results and cost of each treatment modality make the authors recommend MS-Coat and Superseal until further research revises it.
