Summary

Background: Dentine hypersensitivity (DH) causes considerable pain and discomfort to an individual due to number of stimuli on exposed dentine. Different kinds of treatment strategies are used in the resolution of dentine hypersensitivity including the use of propolis and dentine bonding agent. No study had compared the efficacy of propolis and dentine bonding agent. Objective: The objective of the study was to find out whether there is a difference in the efficacy of Propolis and seventh generation dentine bonding agent in reducing the dentine hypersensitivity. Comparison within the groups and pairwise comparisons were also recorded in reducing dentine hypersensitivity. Methods: In this six month In- Vivo single blinded randomized clinical study, a total number of 52 patients with complain of dentine hypersensitivity were selected in two groups after taking informed consent. Group A and B received 30% ethanolic extract of propolis and dentine bonding agents respectively by a trained operator. Recordings of dentine hypersensitivity were obtained at Day 0, before and after the application of experimental agents, and also on Day 7, 15 and 30 by the principal investigator. Response was measured by Visual Analog Scale and Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 was used to analyze the data with level of significance set at p \< 0.05. Friedman test was applied to see the comparison within groups and Wilcoxon Signed Rank test was used for Pairwise comparison. Mann Whitney U-Test was applied for comparison between groups.

Conditions

• Dentine Hypersensitivity

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Dentin-Bonding Agents	3M ESPE Scotchbond™ Universal Adhesive systems is a seventh generation single-bottled one-step self-etch adhesive system.
DRUG	Propolis	Propolis was obtained from Margalla hills, Islamabad by NARC (National Agriculture Research Council, Islamabad). Plant source origin is Acacia modesta and Apis mellifera bees collect it. The 30% ethanolic extract of propolis from raw propolis was obtained in Pakistan Council of Scientific \& Industrial Research (PCSIR) by dissolving the propolis in 95% ethanol and straining out the precipitate
