The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether strontium-doped bioactive glass-ceramic (SBGC)-filled dentine adhesive is effective in relieving dentine hypersensitivity. The main question it aims to answer is:
Is SBGC-filled dentine adhesive more effective in reducing dentine hypersensitivity than non-SBGC-filled dentine adhesive?
Researchers will compare SBGC-filled dentine adhesive to a dentine adhesive to see if SBGC-filled dentine adhesive is more effective at relieving dentine hypersensitivity.
Participants will receive a single application of either SBGC-filled dentine adhesive (intervention group) or dentine adhesive (control group) on the root surfaces of teeth presenting with pain subject to an air-blast test. The degree of pain will be assessed using a Sensitivity Score at baseline, immediately after application of either the intervention dentine adhesive or control dentine adhesive. The participants will visit the clinic at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months for re-assessment of the severity of dentine hypersensitivity.
individuals who experienced cervical dentine sensitivity for 1 month or more
1) <20 teeth; 2) teeth with poor oral hygiene, severe periodontal conditions, with caries, faulty restorations, dentine exposure at the occlusal surface, covered by prosthetics or orthodontic appliances, or undergoing endodontic treatment; 3) currently using or have used any desensitizing agents in the past 3 months; or have undergone restorative treatment on the sensitive tooth; 4) with a severe medical condition or in chronic use of a medication that could have interfered with the perception of pain or any condition/medication that causes xerostomia

Severity of dentine hypersensitivity measured by a sensitivity score
The tooth/teeth with dentine hypersensitivity will be identified. A 3-in-1 air syringe will be used to provide a continuous air blast for 5 seconds. The participants will rate the degree of pain of all the teeth under assessment using a Sensitivity Score (SS) which is a visual analog scale modified with the addition of adjective words and facial expression diagrams according to the verbal descriptor scale. The SS ranges from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no discomfort and 10 indicates maximal pain causing significant distress.
