About this study

Official title: Non-carious Cervical Lesions: Clinical Comparison of Different Strategies to Treat Dentin Hypersensitivity

This study will compare clinically the efficacy, time to action and duration of different treatments for patients with non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) that caused dentin hypersensitivity (DH).

Read the detailed description

This study will compare clinically the efficacy, time to action and duration of different treatments for patients with non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) that caused dentin hypersensitivity (DH). Casuistic and methods: 60 participants with NCCLs and positive for DH will be enrolled in the study to receive randomly the followed treatments: LA= 780 nm and 70mW GaAlAs Laser/ 4 sessions; LAP= placebo laser/ four sessions; RGI= ClinproTM XT Varnish/ in-office single session; RX= adhesive RelyXTM Arc/ in-office single session; DE= stannous fluoride dentifrice/30-days-home-use; DE-P= placebo dentifrice/30-days-home-use. Pain from DH is measured with visual analogue scale (VAS), pre-treatment and in accordance with each treatment, immediately after the end of the treatment (S1); one and two weeks (1S and 2S) and one and two months (1M and 2M) after the end of the treatments. Strategies of treatments are compared each other in each period of evaluation and along time with pre-treatments values of pain, using Kruskall-Wallis and Friedman Test (p<0.05).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. pain from dentin hypersensitivity (DH)

    Examiner assess dentin hypersensitivity (DH) using VAS (visual analogue scale). The selected tooth was thermic stimulated by a cold air (approximately 10°C) from a triple syringe placed 3mm from the buccal surface in the cervical area, perpendicular to the tooth long axis at full blast during 3 seconds. In addition, the selected tooth received a mechanical stimulus by a dental probe n° 05 over the cervical area. Thereby, volunteers were instructed to record the sensitivity perception by placing a mark on the scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (intolerable pain) while sensitivity test was occurred

    Measured: pre-treatment

  2. pain from dentin hypersensitivity (DH)

    Examiner assess dentin hypersensitivity (DH) using VAS (visual analogue scale). The selected tooth was thermic stimulated by a cold air (approximately 10°C) from a triple syringe placed 3mm from the buccal surface in the cervical area, perpendicular to the tooth long axis at full blast during 3 seconds. In addition, the selected tooth received a mechanical stimulus by a dental probe n° 05 over the cervical area. Thereby, volunteers were instructed to record the sensitivity perception by placing a mark on the scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (intolerable pain) while sensitivity test was occurred

    Measured: immediately after the end of the treatment (S1);

  3. pain from dentin hypersensitivity (DH)

    Examiner assess dentin hypersensitivity (DH) using VAS (visual analogue scale). The selected tooth was thermic stimulated by a cold air (approximately 10°C) from a triple syringe placed 3mm from the buccal surface in the cervical area, perpendicular to the tooth long axis at full blast during 3 seconds. In addition, the selected tooth received a mechanical stimulus by a dental probe n° 05 over the cervical area. Thereby, volunteers were instructed to record the sensitivity perception by placing a mark on the scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (intolerable pain) while sensitivity test was occurred

    Measured: one weeks (1S) after the end of the treatments

  4. pain from dentin hypersensitivity (DH)

    Examiner assess dentin hypersensitivity (DH) using VAS (visual analogue scale). The selected tooth was thermic stimulated by a cold air (approximately 10°C) from a triple syringe placed 3mm from the buccal surface in the cervical area, perpendicular to the tooth long axis at full blast during 3 seconds. In addition, the selected tooth received a mechanical stimulus by a dental probe n° 05 over the cervical area. Thereby, volunteers were instructed to record the sensitivity perception by placing a mark on the scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (intolerable pain) while sensitivity test was occurred

    Measured: two weeks (2S) after the end of the treatments

  5. pain from dentin hypersensitivity (DH)

    Examiner assess dentin hypersensitivity (DH) using VAS (visual analogue scale). The selected tooth was thermic stimulated by a cold air (approximately 10°C) from a triple syringe placed 3mm from the buccal surface in the cervical area, perpendicular to the tooth long axis at full blast during 3 seconds. In addition, the selected tooth received a mechanical stimulus by a dental probe n° 05 over the cervical area. Thereby, volunteers were instructed to record the sensitivity perception by placing a mark on the scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (intolerable pain) while sensitivity test was occurred

    Measured: One month (1M) after the end of the treatments

  6. pain from dentin hypersensitivity (DH)

    Examiner assess dentin hypersensitivity (DH) using VAS (visual analogue scale). The selected tooth was thermic stimulated by a cold air (approximately 10°C) from a triple syringe placed 3mm from the buccal surface in the cervical area, perpendicular to the tooth long axis at full blast during 3 seconds. In addition, the selected tooth received a mechanical stimulus by a dental probe n° 05 over the cervical area. Thereby, volunteers were instructed to record the sensitivity perception by placing a mark on the scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (intolerable pain) while sensitivity test was occurred

    Measured: Two months (2M) after the end of the treatments

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Experimental: • Group LA, Experimental: • Group DE and Experimental: • Group RGI in people with Tooth Sensitivity, run by University of Sao Paulo at 1 site in Brazil.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

pain from dentin hypersensitivity (DH) (time frame: pre-treatment). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Oct 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 4 Nov 2026.
