Evaluation of the Combined Effect of Bioactive Toothpastes, Desensitizing Agents and Er-YAG Laser on Dentin Hypersensitivity: an In-Vivo Study
40 participantsStarted 2025-05-01
Plain-language summary
Here's the revised version with the corrected treatment and follow-up session schedule:
\---
The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of bioactive toothpastes, desensitizing agents, and Er-YAG laser treatments in reducing dentin hypersensitivity. This study also aims to assess the safety and comparative efficiency of these treatment methods. The main research questions are:
* Do bioactive toothpastes, desensitizing agents, and laser treatments individually or in combination reduce dentin hypersensitivity?
* Are there any adverse effects associated with these treatments?
Participants will:
* Be randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups, each using a specific toothpaste (Pro-Argin, Nano-Hydroxyapatite, NovaMin, or CPP-ACP), alongside desensitizing agents, laser treatments, or a placebo.
* Receive two treatment sessions: the first at baseline and the second one week later.
* Attend follow-up evaluations at the 2nd week, 1st month, and 3rd month to assess dentin hypersensitivity using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and dental unit air-water sprays.
Researchers will compare the outcomes across groups using statistical analyses (Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Kruskal-Wallis, and Pearson/Spearman tests) to determine the most effective approach for managing dentin hypersensitivity.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
