ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at different treatments for dentin hypersensitivity, which is a common problem where teeth feel painful or sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet things. Researchers want to find out if using special toothpastes, desensitizing agents, and a specific type of laser treatment can help reduce this sensitivity. They will also check to see if these treatments cause any side effects.

To participate in the study, you need to be at least 18 years old, have good oral hygiene, and experience sensitivity in at least three teeth. If you join, you will be placed in one of four groups and receive two treatment sessions, one week apart. After that, you’ll have follow-up visits to check how well the treatments are working. This study is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to find the best way to manage dentin hypersensitivity effectively and safely.
