AIM
The patient sample was selected from February 2012 to October 2012 from
the patients of the Department of Periodontology, School of
Dentistry,University of Athens, Greece .
INCLUSION CRITERIA
Fifty patients (25 patients in each group) completed the 6-week period.
The groups were statistically comparable for patient age and gender.
Baseline FMPS, BOP, CAL, PD, GR, bop,cal, pd, gr Schiff and VAS scores
The 6-week periodontal measurements (FMPS, BOP, CAL, PD, bop, cal,
pd) were statistically significantly reduced for both groups and they did not
statistically significantly differ between the groups.
Within its limits, this study demonstrated that the single in-office
application of the 8% arginine–calcium carbonate desensitizing paste after
scaling and root planing provided significant immediate reduction in
dentine hypersensitivity.
