Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Gluma (Heraeus Kulzer, Armonk, NY, USA)  A few drops of agent will be applied with a applicator tip using a gentle but firm rubbing motion. After 30 seconds, the area will be dried thoroughly until the fluid disappears and the surface would not be shinny. 
Intervention  Propolis extract (HERB PHARM, India)  Propolis will be applied with a brush and left undisturbed at the site for 5 minutes.  
Intervention  Vivasens (Ivoclar Vivadent AG, Schaan, Liechtenstein)   A few drops of agent will be applied using a disposable brush provided. Area will be air dried for 10 seconds

Brief Summary   This study is a randomized clinical trial, double blind, parallel group, hospital based comparing the efficacy of three desensitizing agents: gluma, vivasens and propolis in reducing the cervical dentin hypersensitivity. The primary outcome measure is to compare the reduction of hypersensitivity of cervical abrasion after application of desensitizing agents. The secondary outcome will be to evaluate the effect of desensitizing agents: immediately, 1 week, 1 month and 2 months of application of desensitizing agents.
