Summary

Dentine hypersensitivity is a common clinical problem. Although Nd:YAG lasers, diode lasers, and topical desensitizing agents are widely utilized, long-term comparative evidence regarding their clinical efficacy remains limited. This prospective, randomized, parallel-arm, evaluator-blind, sham-controlled clinical trial evaluated and compared the 12-month clinical performance of an Nd:YAG laser, a diode laser, a herbal propolis-based dentin barrier agent, and a sham application.
