Abstract

Objectives

Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is a prevalent problem. This study aimed to formulate a paste using fluorhydroxyapatite (FA) crystals dispersed in different carriers to treat DH. The ability to occlude patent dentinal tubules and to release ions was investigated.

Materials and methods

Twenty percent FA/sodium alginate, 40 % FA/poly(hydroxyethyl methacylate(HEMA)), and 40 % FA/poly(DMA-co-MEA) were applied to etched dentin samples and examined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to determine the degree of tubule occlusion. Fluoride electrode was used to measure F release and spectroscopy to evaluate Ca and PO4 release. The cytotoxicity of the synthesized poly(DMA-co-MEA) gel was tested. Kruskall-Wallis test was used to test the differences in ion release between the groups.

Results

FA/poly(DMA-co-MEA) paste obstructed up to 80 % of the dentinal tubules, while the coverage was up to 70 % for FA/poly(HEMA) and less than 50 % for FA/sodium alginate. Fluoride and Ca release was the highest for FA/P(HEMA), 7.2 ± 0.7 and 139.8 ± 32.5 ppm, respectively. The highest concentration of PO4 was 46.2 ± 16.4 ppm for FA/Sodium alginate. No statistical significance was found.

Conclusions

FA/Poly(DMA-co-MEA) and FA/poly(HEMA) pastes may offer immediate short-term relief of DH because of their ability to occlude the tubules and adhere to wet dentin surfaces. The release of the F, Ca, and PO4 ions may offer long-term relief by forming a mineral barrier both within the dentinal tubules and on the dentin surface.

Clinical significance

The tested materials may offer a long-term treatment for DH.
