Brief Summary

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

Our aim will be to evaluate the actual efficacy of diode lasers in laser desensitization by comparing the topical gel Emoform Actisens, containing 5% potassium nitrate, alone and in combination with a diode laser. Dental hypersensitivity (DH) will be assessed pre- (T0) and post-treatment (T1) and at 1 month (T2), 3 months (T3), and 6 months (T4).

Detailed Description

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

This will be a randomized clinical trial (RCT) with a split-mouth design, involving 12 subjects, with two parallel groups. The dental elements will be divided into the Trial group, treated with a 980 nm diode laser and desensitizing topical gel, and the Control group, treated only with the same gel. DH will be assessed using the Shiff Air Index (SAI) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
