| Abstract | ||
| Patient discomfort due to dentin hypersensitivity DH is one of the major challenges faced by dentists in daily practice. Difficulties in DH treatment have resulted in the many regimens currently used. This clinical study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a new protocol in reducing dentin hypersensitivity using a 980 nm diode laser. 50 cases of DH were enrolled in the study, and the pain level was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Apply a 980 nm diode laser with continuous mode, backward motion, tangential incidence of the beam in non-contact mode and 0.7 W delivered output with a total exposure time of 60 s per tooth. Postoperative pain was significantly reduced immediately after treatment. Means remained stable until the 2-week follow-up. | ||
