Effectiveness of Two Wavelengths of Diode Laser and Amorphous Calcium Phosphate-Casein Phosphopeptide Mousse in the Treatment of Dentinal Hypersensitivity: A Randomized Clinical Study.

In office methods for immediate relief of dentinal hypersensitivity (DH) has long been an area of research. This study compared the efficacy of 660 nm diode laser, 980 nm diode laser, and amorphous calcium phosphate-casein phosphopeptide (ACP-CPP) agent in the treatment of DH. A total of 39 patients with minimum three hypersensitive teeth in at least one quadrant were selected and randomly divided into three groups; Group A, B, and C patients were treated by 660 nm diode laser, 980 nm diode laser, and ACP-CPP agent, respectively.
