Treatment of highly sensitive teeth

Treatment of highly sensitive teeth
Hope for patients with hypersensitive teeth
People with hypersensitive teeth may perhaps soon be permanently helped: In one study, a relatively new drug Glasionomer to better results than a glutaraldehyde containing primer. Moreover, the positive effect over a period of two years.

To treat hypersensitive teeth is a multitude of products available, which in most studies, but only moderate success brought. For some years there is a low-viscous Glasionomer (Fuji VII ®) designed specifically for the indication hypersensitivity has been developed. Now Dutch authors compared the effectiveness of the new drug with a primer of Glutaraldehyde (Gluma ® Desensitizer) contains.

The study in split-mouth design, four men and ten women with oversensitive teeth part. One tooth was treatment with Fuji VII ® and Gluma ® Desensitizer. The sensitivity of the authors covered by the teeth air suspended. Immediately afterward, the subjects the degree of sensitivity on a scale (interval scale discomfort, DIS) from 0 to 4 at. This test took place before and immediately after therapy and after three months and 19.2. Furthermore, the sensitivity after one month and after 25.2 months by telephone interview recorded. The evaluation after 19.2 and 25.2 months, was only for the Fuji VII ®-treated teeth.

Both treatments led after three months in a significant improvement in symptoms. But were the middle-DIS results in both Glasionomergruppe immediately after application and after one and three months were significantly lower than in the Gluma group. After a quarter were eleven of the 14 with Fuji VII ® treated teeth and two of the 14 with Gluma Desensitizer ®-treated teeth complaints. Even after 19.2 and 25.2 months, the median remained DIS results for the group Glasionomer low.

Select New specimens seem better suited than traditional
To treat hypersensitive teeth is the low viscous Glasionomer (Fuji VII ®)) seems better suited than the glutaraldehyde preparation (Gluma ® Desensitizer). After three months, which proved significantly more effective than Glasionomer, the authors summarize. The beneficial effect continued until the study end after more than two years.
