Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a desensitizing toothpaste in the reduction of dentin hypersensitivity in a randomized, double-blind, cross-over, controlled clinical trial.
Methods: Twenty patients who presented some degree of sensitivity to air stimulation were treated with desensitizing toothpaste containing hydroxyapatite (A) or a placebo (B).
Results: The paired t-test showed that treatment with A was capable of reducing sensitivity scores. The Wilcoxon test (?=0.05) revealed significant differences between A and B.
Conclusion: It may be concluded that treatment with A effectively reduced dentin hypersensitivity. The effect was instant and long lasting.
