Before prescribing desensitization therapy, clinicians must make the differential diagnosis of tooth, or see what is involved, which may cause hypersensitivity. Having defined the problem of the patient, the degree of destruction of the tooth and the extent of dentine hypersensitivity, you can choose between a reversible or outpatient treatment, or a permanent or irreversible therapy, which eliminates the cause of the problem and restores the great destruction that have teeth that need these treatments. We then have two groups of methods, classified according to their durability over time, and marked by us according to the severity and complexity of dentine hypersensitivity:
Irreversible methods : Those who permanently plugged tubules exposed, thus removing dentine hypersensitivity. Alternatives range from restorations (fillings), composites (composites), surgical grafts or flaps of gum (periodontal surgery) to root canal treatment (endodontics). These alternatives are considered invasive, or put another way, where you sometimes have to remove some healthy teeth to place these materials, taking risks in surgery and root canal treatment. Besides, methods of this group are of greater monetary cost. All these “buts” make us start first with less complex maneuvers. Read the rest of this entry »
