Background and Objective: Dentin sensitivity after scaling treatment is a common finding. One of the methods to reduce this pain is anti-sensitive toothpaste. Due to the limited access to foreign toothpaste, our aim is to compare the use of two anti-sensitive toothpastes containing potassium nitrate. It is available in the Iranian market (MERIDENT) and the foreign type (PRONAMEL).
Materials and Methods: This randomized clinical trial study was conducted on 22 patients (11 people in each group). The toothpaste was coded and the participants were asked to use it for 30 days (2 minutes a day). VAS scale was used to measure sensitivity intensity on the first day, 15 days and 30 days later. To compare background variables between two groups, independent samples t-test or chi-square test, and to compare dependent variables in two groups during time intervals, repeated measures of ANOVA test and paired t-test were used. The statistical analysis was done by using SPSS 22.
Results: In each of the studied groups, the dental sensitivity of the patients decreased significantly compared to the first day. There was no significant difference in the level of tooth sensitivity in response to stimuli during the study period between the two groups, and the responses of both toothpastes were the same in the treatment of dentine sensitivity.
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, Iranian MERIDENT toothpaste can be used as a substitute for similar foreign samples.
