Protocol summary

Summary
This randomized single blind placebo controlled clinical trial will be conducted to assess the efficacy of laser and gel in comparison with placebo in reducing the pain in patients who suffer from dentine hypersensitivity. The patients who have more than 1 month dentinal hypersensitivity and did not use other hypersensitivity methods will be recruited. We will exclude the pregnant women to avoid the probable side effects of laser; non-vital teeth, cracked teeth, deep restorations and crown and abutments, are other criteria for exclusion. Twenty patientseach have at least six teeth(120 tooth) with chronic hypersensitive teeth are being selected. In each patient 6 teeth will be randomly allocated into three intervention; first group will receive Nd:YAG laser (1W, 10Hz, 60s, two times); for second intervention, desensitizing gel (sensikin) administration and in the third group as control group without any active treatment, will be treated with laser device while it was off as placebo. Main study outcome is pain and its assessment is by visual analogue scale (VAS) after stimulation of sensitive tooth by using the sharp tip of explorer or a manual air blower. The measurements will be at: before treatment, immediately after the treatment, 1 week ,1 month, 3 months and 6 months after treatment. The effect of each intervention on pain reduction will be compared with control group.
