Effects of the desensitizing agents Gluma and Hyposen on the tensile bond strength of dentin adhesives.

Purpose: To evaluate the influence of two desensitizers (Gluma Desensitizer and Hyposen) on the tensile bond strength of three different dentin adhesives.

Methods: 90 freshly extracted third molars were specially prepared to allow simulation of dentin perfusion. The specimens were divided at random into nine groups: Group AC: Clearfil New Bond/Clearfil Core; Group AX: Xeno III/Tetric Flow; Group AA: AdheSE/Tetric Flow; Group BC: Gluma/Clearfil New Bond/Clearfil Core; Group BX: Gluma/Xeno III/Tetric Flow; Group BA: Gluma/AdheSE/Tetric Flow; Group CC: Hyposen/Clearfil New Bond/Clearfil Core; Group CX: Hyposen/Xeno III/Tetric Flow; Group CA: Hyposen/AdheSE/Tetric Flow.

Clinical effectiveness of a strontium chloride- containing desensitizing agent over 6 months: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

Objective: The aim of this multicenter study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a strontium chloride-containing desensitizer, Hyposen (Lege Artis), over 6 months.

Method And Materials: A total of 142 patients with hypersensitivity in 9 dental practices and 2 clinical departments were included in the double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study. Each patient exhibited at least 2 hypersensitive and caries-free teeth with exposed dentin surfaces.
