About this trial
Our aim will be to evaluate the actual efficacy of diode lasers in laser desensitization by comparing the topical gel Emoform Actisens, containing 5% potassium nitrate, alone and in combination with a diode laser. Dental hypersensitivity (DH) will be assessed pre- (T0) and post-treatment (T1) and at 1 month (T2), 3 months (T3), and 6 months (T4).

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
degree of dentin hypersensitivity
assessed using the Dentine Hypersensitivity Experience Questionnaire (DHEQ). The DHEQ is a validated self-report tool designed to assess the impact of dentine hy-persensitivity on a patient's daily life, including the intensity and frequency of symptoms as well as the emotional, social, and practical effects on daily activities such as eating, drinking, and oral hygiene practices. The DHEQ consists of 15 questions, with responses rated on a numerical scale from 1 ("strongly disagree") to 7 ("strongly agree"). The final score is calculated out of a total of 105 points, with higher scores indicating a greater im-pact of dentin sensitivity on daily life.
