Abstract
Description
Today, hypersensitivity of teeth is an urgent problem in dentistry. According to various sources, it is known that dental hypersensitivity occurs in 15 – 70% of the adult population, and this figure is steadily growing. The constant increase in the number of patients with HHTT is a consequence of the use of ineffective methods of treating dental hypersensitivity. The modern and most popular for solving the problem of hypersensitivity of teeth hard tissues, today, is the use of desensitizers. With the development of dentistry, the variety of desensitizers is steadily growing, which makes it important to choose the most effective drug. For this study, we selected 2 of the most effective and frequently used desensitizers, such as GC "Tooth Mousse" and Gluma Desensitizer, which we tested on 50 patients. As a result of our research, the most effective means to reduce the sensitivity of teeth was remineralizing paste GC "Tooth Mousse".
