Abstract

The purpose of this double-blind study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a commercially available fluoride lacquer (Bifluorid 12) containing CaF2 (6%) and NaF (6%) in reducing dentine hypersensitivity. A fluoride lacquer containing only NaF (6%) served as a control. Twenty-five adult patients complaining about at least two hypersensitive teeth participated in this study. In each patient and at each appointment, one tooth was treated with Bifluorid 12, while the other was treated with the control substance. Sensitivity levels were determined before and after the application of each lacquer at baseline as well as at 1, 2 and 3 weeks after the start of study. The final evaluation of hypersensitivity was performed at 4 weeks, and follow-ups were undertaken at 6 and 12 months. A reproducible air blast stimulus and a visual analogue scale were used for evaluation. Results demonstrated a distinct reduction of hypersensitivity after 1, 2 and 3 weeks in the Bifluorid 12 group. Initially, no obvious effects could be observed in the control group. However, a clear alleviation could be observed after 2 and 3 weeks with the control. After 4 weeks, the overall sensitivity scores were comparably low, without any significant differences bet...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
