Desensitizing Agent Reduces Dentin Hypersensitivity During Ultrasonic Scaling: A Pilot Study
Background: Dentin hypersensitivity can interfere with optimal periodontal care by dentists and patients. The pain associated with dentin hypersensitivity during ultrasonic scaling is intolerable for patient and interferes with the procedure, particularly during supportive periodontal therapy (S...

Background: Dentin hypersensitivity can interfere with optimal
periodontal care by dentists and patients. The pain associated
with dentin hypersensitivity during ultrasonic scaling is intolerable
for patient and interferes with the procedure, particularly during
supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) for patients with gingival
recession.
Aim: This study proposed to evaluate the desensitizing effect of
the oxalic acid agent on pain caused by dentin hypersensitivity
during ultrasonic scaling.
Materials and Methods: This study involved 12 patients who
were incorporated in SPT program and complained of dentin
hypersensitivity during ultrasonic scaling. We examined the
availability of the oxalic acid agent to compare the degree of
pain during ultrasonic scaling with or without the application
of the dentin hypersensitivity agent. Evaluation of effects on
dentin hypersensitivity was determined by a questionnaire and
visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores after ultrasonic scaling.
The statistical analysis was performed using the paired Student
t-test and Spearman rank correlation coefficient.
Results: The desensitizing agent reduced the mean VAS pain
score from 69.33 ± 16.02 at baseline to 26.08 ± 27.99 after
application. The questionnaire revealed that >80% patients
were satisfied and requested the application of the desensitizing
agent for future ultrasonic scaling sessions.
Conclusion: This study shows that the application of the oxalic
acid agent considerably reduces pain associated with dentin
hypersensitivity experienced during ultrasonic scaling. This
pain control treatment may improve patient participation and
treatment efficiency. |
