Description
To assess the impact of the use of 5% Calcium Sodium Phosphosilicate or 8% Arginine dentifrices on dentinal hypersensitivity following non-surgical periodontal therapy in patients with periodontitis. patients will be selected on the bases of inclusion and exclusion criteria.Descriptive statistics will be presented for both qualitative and quantitative variables
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Participants must be between 30 and 65 years old.
- Participants should be in good general health.
- Participants must have a diagnosis of generalized chronic periodontitis according to the 1999 classification definition.
- Participants should complain of at least two teeth with dentinal hypersensitivity.
- Participants must exhibit moderate to severe dentinal hypersensitivity (Schiff's scores of 2 to 3) or tactile stimulation (Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score >4) after at least one scaling and root planing session.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Individuals with dentinal hypersensitivity symptoms prior to periodontal treatment.
- Those who have used agents to treat hypersensitivity in the past 3 months.
- Participants who are allergic to the test products (5% CSPS or 8% arginine).
- Dentinal hypersensitivity caused by factors such as dental caries, defective restorations, fractured teeth, abrasion or abfraction, extensively restored teeth, or restorations extending into the test area.
- Individuals who have undergone orthodontic treatment within the past 3 months.
- Patients with crowded teeth or serving as abutment teeth for fixed or removable prostheses are also excluded from the study.
