AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of strontium acetate and arginine/calcium carbonate toothpastes for relieving dentin hypersensitivity (DH).
- A comprehensive search of multiple databases yielded 3,883 potential studies, but only six met the criteria for inclusion and were deemed to have a low risk of bias.
- The findings showed that arginine/calcium carbonate toothpaste was generally more effective than strontium acetate for reducing DH, with the exception of one study that indicated strontium acetate was better for tactile stimuli after 8 weeks.
Article Abstract
Purpose: To present an overview of clinical evidence of strontium acetate and arginine-based toothpastes, in order to determine which of these substances was the most effective to relieve dentin hypersensitivity (DH).
Methods: An electronic search was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, LILACS, Web of Science and Open Grey databases. The search strategy included MeSH terms, synonyms and keywords with no language or date restriction. Randomized controlled clinical trial studies that compared the effectiveness of arginine/calcium carbonate and strontium acetate toothpaste were included. The risk of bias in the included studies was assessed and classified through the Cochrane Collaboration's common scheme for bias. Data were subgrouped and heterogeneity was tested via comprehensive meta-analysis.
Results: A total of 3,883 potentially relevant studies were identified. After title and abstract examination, only six studies fulfilled the eligibility criteria and were classified as having a "low risk of bias". The majority of studies found better results for arginine/calcium carbonate in comparison with strontium acetate in alleviating DH. Only one study reported superior efficacy of strontium acetate, and only for tactile stimuli, after 8 weeks of home use. The arginine/calcium carbonate-based toothpaste provided a higher level of efficacy in terms of DH relief than the strontium-based toothpaste.

Strontium acetate is applied for dental hypersensitivity treatment; however, the use of strontium carbonates for this purpose has not been described. The use of Sr-carbonate nanoparticles takes advantage of both the benefits of strontium on dentin mineralization and the abrasive properties of carbonates. Here in, we aimed to synthesize strontium carbonate and strontium-substituted calcium carbonate nanoparticles and test them as potential compounds in active dentifrices for treating dental hypersensitivity.

Microbial infection and insufficient tissue formation are considered to be the two main causes of dental implant failure. Novel studies have focused on designing dual-functional strategies to promote antibacterial properties and improve tissue cell response simultaneously. In this study, we investigated the antibacterial properties and cytocompatibility of silver nitrate (AgNO) and strontium acetate (SrAc) in a mono-culture setup for dental application.

Background: Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is a sharp toothache that influences a patients' oral health-related quality of life. Oral dentifrices have been marketed for pain relief within a minute for DH. The permanent management of DH is being investigated with the remineralisation potential of bioactive agents in dentinal tubules.

Objectives: This study evaluated the effect of photobiomodulation (PBM) combined with 8% strontium acetate (SA8%) in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity (DH) in non-carious lesions and analyzed the risk factors with the patient's quality of life.
Methods: Eighty teeth with DH were randomly allocated into four treatment groups (n = 20): G1, PBM imitation + toothpaste with no active ingredient; G2, PBM imitation + toothpaste with SA8%; G3, PBM + toothpaste without the active ingredient; and G4, PBM + toothpaste with SA8%. Participants were provided with a questionnaire on the experience of dentin hypersensitivity (QEDH) to assess the impact of desensitizing treatment on health-related quality of life (HRQL).

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of two herbal toothpastes made with pomegranate peel, Equisetum arvense extracts, and strontium acetate in occluding dentin tubules.
- Both toothpastes significantly reduced the number of open dentin tubules compared to a control group, with statistical validation.
- Scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed the occlusion and identified strontium and silica deposits on dentin tubules from the toothpaste containing Equisetum arvense.
