Effectiveness of two different desensitizing varnishes in reducing tooth sensitivity: a randomized double-blind clinical trial.

Oral & Implantology 2016 October
PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of two different desensitizing varnishes.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety healthy adults suffering from tooth sensitivity were divided into three groups. Two different varnishes were used for the study: Fluor Protector S, containing 7700 ppm fluoride (group I), and Cervitec F, containing 1400 ppm fluoride and 0.3% chlorhexidine (group II). A placebo containing water and ethanol was applied for the third group. Tooth sensitivity was collected according the Schiff' scale at baseline and after 30 and 90 days.

RESULTS: Group I and group II improved with statistically significant results. Group III did not show any improvements.

CONCLUSIONS: Desensitizing varnishes are a valid treatment for tooth hypersensitivity.
