Comparative assessment of effectiveness of Biomin, NovaMin, herbal, and potassium nitrate desensitizing agents in the treatment of hypersensitive teeth: A clinical study
Aim and Objectives: To compare the efficacy of four commercially available toothpastes in the treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity (DH).
Materials and Methods: In a single-centered clinical trial, a total of 160 subjects were divided equally into four groups: group 1 β a toothpaste containing 5% fluoro calcium sodium phosphosilicate with fused silica (Biomin); group 2 β a toothpaste containing 5% CSPS (NovaMin); group 3 β herbal formulation; and group 4 β a toothpaste containing 5% potassium nitrate. The patient's DH scores for tactile, evaporative stimuli were recorded on a visual analog scale at baseline, 2 weeks, and at the end of 4 weeks.
Results: All the four desensitizing toothpastes containing different active agents were effective in relieving DH. However, the Biomin group showed a better clinical response at the end of 4 weeks when compared with others.
Conclusion: The Biomin group showed significantly better results compared with either NovaMin, herbal, and potassium nitrate toothpastes in the treatment of dental hypersensitivity symptoms
