Resumen
MORENO-RABIE, Catalina; SCHARAGER-LEWIN, Daniel y ARANGUIZ, Vicente. Use of toothpastes and mouthwashes for the control of dentin hypersensitivity in adults: a narrative review. Rev. Clin. Periodoncia Implantol. Rehabil. Oral [online]. 2018, vol.11, n.3, pp.177-183. ISSN 0719-0107. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0719-01072018000300177.
Objectives:
Describe the effectiveness of the use of different desensitizing agents contained in dentifrices and mouthwashes for the control of dentin hypersensitivity in adults.
Method:
An electronic search of the scientific evidence available was made in PubMed, Epistemónikos, EBSCO, BEIC and Cochrane Library; using a search strategy that included the key words. For each article found the level and quality of evidence, risk of bias and ethics were analyzed.
Results:
A total of 36 articles were included, 29 randomized controlled clinical trials and 7 systematic reviews. Of the clinical trials, five tested the efficacy of mouthwashes, two made a comparison using dentifrices and mouthwashes and 22 tested only the use of dentifrices. The desensitizing agents mainly found were potassium salts, arginine, nano-hydroxiapatite, calcium sodium phosphosilicate (CSPS) and strontium salts. Only the first two were tested in both presentations. All the clinical trials demonstrated a reduction in dentin hypersensitivity with the use of an agent in comparison to the initial measurement.
Conclusions:
The use of nitrate and citrate potassium, arginine, calcium sodium phosphosilicate and nano-hydroxyapatite in dentifrices for the treatment of hypersensitivity may be recommended.
