Study 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)

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants aged 18-50 years with a preoperative VAS score of ≥2 for dentinalhypersensitivity.

  • Participants with sensitivity due to gingival recession, cervical abrasion, orenamel erosion.

  • Participants with good systemic health.

  • Minimum of two hypersensitive teeth present in two different quadrants.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Teeth with caries, defective restorations, or cervical defects > 2 mm (may affectsensitivity measurements).

  • Periodontal surgery or deep periodontal pockets (> 6 mm) within the past threemonths (potential influence on periodontal health and sensitivity).

  • Participants using desensitizing toothpaste within the past three months (couldinterfere with study outcomes).

  • Presence of gross oral pathology or systemic diseases (e.g., eating disorders,chronic diseases, uncontrolled metabolic conditions) (may alter oral health status).

  • Pregnant or lactating women (hormonal changes can influence oral health).
