Clinical evaluation of the efficacy of one self-adhesive composite in dental hypersensitivity

Objectives The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinical effectiveness over 12 weeks of Vertise Flow ™ , a self-adhering composite, in dental hypersensitivity (DH). Material and methods The study was conducted as a split-mouth randomized clinical trial. Vertise Flow™ was compared to the following: (1) Universal Dentine Sealant, (2) Clearfil Protect Bond, and (3) Flor-Opal® Varnish. A total of 46 patients with 116 hypersensitive teeth were studied. Pain experience was generated by a cold stimulus and assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS) of pain. The response was recorded before the application of the materials (pre-1), immediately after (post-1), at 1- (post-2), 2- (post-3), and 12-week controls (post-4). Statistical differences in VAS were performed using the Kruskal–Wallis analysis at the different time-points ( P
