【 摘 要 】

Aim: The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate and to compare the efficacy in reducing the dentin hypersensitivity after periodontal therapy using dentifrices which contain 8% arginine, calcium carbonate versus 8% strontium acetate, after one and three weeks of use of the dentifrices. Methods: A three-week clinical study with 20 subjects with diagnosis of slight to moderate chronic periodontitis with dental hypersensitivity after periodontal therapy, and presence of gingival recession in canines and/or premolars. Patients were randomly selected and assigned to each group and toothpastes were evaluated after one and three weeks of use. Air from a triple syringe was applied into the cervical area with hypersensitivity. The quantification of pain was performed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Results: There was not statistically significant difference between the use of the dentifrices which contain 8% arginine, calcium carbonate versus 8% strontium acetate in reducing dentin hypersensitivity after one and three weeks of use of the dentifrices. Nevertheless, there was a statistically significant difference in the reduction of pain using both dentifrices in the first and third week of measurement.
