Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Cervical sensitivity is a common dental issue.
  • Existing treatments often require restorations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the in vivo effectiveness of Amalgambond adhesive as a standalone treatment for cervical sensitivity.
  • To evaluate its feasibility on teeth not needing restorations.

Main Methods:

  • Nineteen subjects with moderate to severe cervical sensitivity were enrolled.
  • Treated teeth were compared against contralateral untreated control teeth.
  • Sensitivity was assessed via tactile and air-blast stimuli at baseline, 24 hours, 7 days, 1 month, and 6 months.

Main Results:

  • 18 of 19 treated teeth showed reduced sensitivity at 6 months.

  • 15 treated teeth experienced complete sensitivity loss.
  • Control teeth showed no change in sensitivity.

    • Conclusions:

    • Amalgambond adhesive alone is a feasible and effective treatment for cervical sensitivity.
    • The positive effects are immediate and sustained for at least six months.
    • This offers a non-restorative option for managing tooth sensitivity.
