Clinical Effectiveness of Episodic Use of Bioactive Silica Based Versus in Management of Dentin Hypersensitivity (A 6m Randomized Clinical Trial)
Sponsor: Rawda Hesham Abd ElAziz
Summary
The aim of the study to compare the clinical effectiveness of Episodic use of Bioactive Silica Based versus continuous use of fluoride based desensitizing toothpastes in management of dentin hypersensitivity (DH) of adult patients over 6m follow up and evaluating patient satisfaction regarding the treatment provided. Episodic use will be tested as it reflects the effectiveness in a clinical scenario regarding patient compliance and adherence to the treatment where some of the Egyptian patients stop the treatment once improvement occurs due to financial constraints

Conditions
Interventions
episodic use of the desensitizing toothpaste
subjects assigned to episodic treatment will use the assigned toothpaste with the same previous instructions for two 8-week treatment periods, followed by an 8-week phase in which they will use the conventional fluoride dentifrice (Signal Complete 8 Original, Unilever, Egypt), which has no documented desensitizing efficacy
continuous use of the conventional desensitizing toothpaste
The patients will be instructed to use 1 inch amount of the assigned desensitizing toothpaste and soft bristle toothbrushes with the same brushing technique they will be taught in the intervention visit for 2 minutes twice a day (morning and last thing at night ) without further rinsing, only spitting of the excess material every day along the whole study period for the continuous treatment group.
