Summary

This study evaluates the effectiveness of laser therapy versus desensitizing agents in reducing pain among participants with dentinal hypersensitivity conducted in Saidu College of Dentistry. Pain will be measured at baseline, immediately post-treatment, one week, and three months using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

Detailed description

This study examines dentinal hypersensitivity treatment modalities, including laser therapy and desensitizing agents. The study is conducted in compliance with regional ethical guidelines

Conditions

• Dentinal Hypersensitivity

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Glutaraldehyde-Based Desensetizing Agent	A glutaraldehyde-based desensitizing agent applied to the cervical area of affected teeth using a micro-brush, left undisturbed for 30 seconds, and air-dried. Both interventions aim to reduce pain associated with dentinal hypersensitivity by either occluding dentinal tubules or reducing nerve excitability
DEVICE	Low Level Laser Therapy	Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) using a diode laser set to a low power level (e.g., 100 mW, continuous wave mode). Each affected tooth will be treated for three minutes, targeting apical, cervical, and middle points
