Combined Effects of Glutaraldehyde-based Desensitizer and Nd: YAG Laser on Dentinal Tubules Occlusion
Conclusion:
The use of Nd:YAG laser alone or in combination with GD was more
effective in occluding dentinal tubules compared to GD alone.
Clinical significance:
This study has shown that Nd:YAG laser alone and in combination with GD has superior dentinal tubule occlusionin vitro.
Its clinical use in the treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity may
overcome the drawback of conventional treatment approaches for dentin
hypersensitivity needing repeated applications to achieve continuous
relief from pain since acidic diet and toothbrushing result in the
continuing elimination of precipitates and surface coatings. How to cite
