Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Will the use of Bio-smart Light Cured Protective Shield with bioactive S-PRG filler or the use of Sodium Fluoride with Xylitol-coated Calcium and Phosphate (CXP™) Varnish be able to reduce the teeth hypersensitivity similar to Sodium Fluoride Varnish?

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The null hypothesis tested in this study, that there is no difference in clinical effectiveness between bio-smart Shield with bioactive S-PRG filler and Fluoride varnish containing Xylitol-coated Calcium and Phosphate (CXP™) Compared to Sodium Fluoride Varnish in management of hypersensitivity in adult patients after 3 minutes, 2, 4 and 8 weeks.

P (Population): Patient with Teeth Hypersensitivity.

Intervention-1: Bio-smart Light Cured Protective Shield with bioactive S-PRG (Surface Pre-Reacted Glass ionomer) filler technology (PRG Barrier Coat) by (By SHOFU Inc., Japan).

Intervention-2: 5% Sodium Fluoride with Xylitol-coated Calcium and Phosphate (CXP™) Varnish (Embrace™ Varnish) by (Pulpdent Corporation)

C (Comparator): 5% Sodium Fluoride Varnish (Duraphat®) by (Colgate Palmolive Company, New York, NY)

O (Outcome):

* Primary Outcome: Pain due to Hypersensitivity
* Secondary Outcome: Dentinal tubules occlusion

PRG Barrier Coat (SHOFU Inc., Japan)

BioSmart Light Cured Protective Shield with bioactive S-PRG (Surface Pre-Reacted Glass ionomer) filler technology.

S-PRG filler possesses a three-layer structure with a stabilized glass-ionomer-like structure surrounding multifunctional glass fillers, and is subsequently protected by a surface modified layer.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

EMBRACE™ Varnish by (Pulpdent Corporation, USA)

Intervention Type OTHER

5% sodium fluoride with CXP™ (Xylitol-coated Calcium and Phosphate) technology for unsurpassed fluoride release and it is considered as a novel method of delivering remineralizing ions (Calcium and Phosphate) in combination with xylitol. The incorporation of CXP™ in a permeable resin matrix that does not separate, purportedly drives the sustained, time-released properties of this varnish.it has ten times more fluoride release over a 4-hour period than the leading varnish brand, in addition, it also releases bioavailable calcium and phosphate ions which are nano-coated with xylitol.

EMBRACE™ Varnish (Pulpdent Corporation, USA)

Resin-based 5% sodium fluoride with CXP™ (Xylitol-coated Calcium and Phosphate) technology for unsurpassed fluoride release.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

PRG Barrier Coat (By SHOFU Inc., Japan)

Intervention Type OTHER

PRG Barrier Coat (By SHOFU Inc., Japan) is a bioactive, resin-based varnish based on the proprietary Giomer concept which incorporates the patented bioactive S-PRG (Surface Pre-Reacted Glass ionomer) filler technology, where a unique combination of six beneficial ions are actively gradually released to provide a smart solution to revolutionize dentin hypersensitivity protocol

Duraphat® (Colgate Palmolive Company, New York, NY)

It is attributed to the reactivity of the fluoride by adsorbing to the surface and attracting calcium ions forming loosely-bound calcium fluoride (CaF2)- like reservoir which is also considered responsible for the anticaries mechanism and protection against cariogenic acid attack.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Patients complaining of hypersensitive areas on facial surfaces of the teeth (incisors, cuspids, bicuspids, and first molars with exposed cervical dentin)
