Health Condition / Problems Studied  
Health Type  Condition 
Patients  patients reporting to the department with the chief complaint of dentinal hypersensitivity of the tooth were taken,  
 
Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  calcium sodium phosphosilicate and diode laser  the intervention in this randomized clinical study is diode laser and the comparator agent is calcium sodium phosphosilcate toothpaste. All the enrolled patients underwent ultrasonic scaling with proper oral hygiene instructions prior to the desensitizing treatment. Then they were randomly allocated into three groups by chit picking method: A – lased with diode laser ( Photon plus diode laser, Zolar technologies and Mfg Co. Inc, Mississauga On, Canada, 980 nm) 0.5W in power, non contact mode, of 3 applications of 1 minute each for 3 consecutive days. B – treated with Calcium Sodium Phosphosilicate which was applied for 60s over the tooth surface and then irradiated with 3 applications of diode laser of 1 minute each for 3 days. C – treated only with Calcium sodium phosphosilicate for 60s for 3 days.  
Intervention  Diode laser  Group A – lased with diode laser ( Photon plus diode laser, Zolar technologies and Mfg Co. Inc, Mississauga On, Canada, 980 nm) 0.5W in power, non contact mode, of 3 applications of 1 minute each for 3 consecutive days 
 
Inclusion Criteria  
Age From  25.00 Year(s)

Gender  Both 
Details  presence of atleast two sensitive permanent teeth surfaces (buccal/ facial aspects), presence of wasting disease of teeth or gingival recession, no history of periodontal treatment in the past one year.  
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  presence of any systemic conditions, chronic or recent use of anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, eating disorder, previous treatment for dentinal hypersensitivity, pregnancy and lactation, allergies or hypersensitivity to desensitizing agents.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
reduction of NRS(Numerical Rating Scale) in which group after the use of the laser alone,laser and calcium sodium phosphosilicate and calcium sodium phosphosilicate alone.  reduction of NRS(Numerical Rating Scale) was recorded in all the groups at baseline and before the treatment session for 3 consecutive days 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
whether air stimulus or tactile stimuls was more effected reducing the NRS score  the scoring was compared from baseline to 3 days after the treatment

Brief Summary  

Dentinal hypersensitivity (DH) is an abnormal response of the exposed vital dentine to thermal, chemical, or tactile stimuli. The prevalence of hypersensitivity has been reported ranging from 4% to 57% in the literature. So this study was aimed to compare the immediate effectiveness of diode laser alone and with topical calcium sodium phosphosilicate(CSPS).  Three groups were taken with 15 samples in each. Group A was treated with diode laser alone, Group B with diode laser and CSPS and Group C was given only topical CSPS. The 3 groups were assessed by air and tactile stimuli measured by Numerical Rating Scale before and after every treatment session for a total of 3 treatment sessions for 3 consecutive days.
