Association between Restorative Treatment and Toothpaste Indication for Resolution of Dentin Hypersensitivity: Case Report - Abstract
Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is a painful dental condition with a multifactorial etiology,
usually associated with exposed dentinal surfaces. The development of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL) is important factor for dentin exposure at the gingival margin. Several different therapies have been proposed to correct these lesions or condition. Objective: To review and describe a clinical management of the DH, demonstrating the association between the bioactive glass based-toothpaste use by patient and the restoration treatment for resolution of DH associated to NCCL. Case Report: The patient presented for treatment of NCCL and DH. It was prescribed a bioactive glass based-toothpaste (NovaMin™) and the NCCL were restored with composite resins and results were evaluated. DH was controlled and the patient is satisfied with case resolution. Conclusion: Resin restorations combined with toothpaste indication are conservative and safe approaches to treat DH associated to NCCL
