Comparative assessment of efficacy of a single application of Potassium Oxalate and N-Butyl 2-Cyanoacrylate in treatment ofhypersensitive teeth-A clinical study

Pain has been so closely associated with dentistry that the word ‘pain’ and ‘dentistry’ have almost become inseparable, and one of the most important objective of dentistry has been the control/elimination of pain.

Dentin hypersensitivity is a common painful condition of the teeth, which has caught the attention of people since our ancient times. In today's busy world, it is difficult for the suffering patient to keep up the repeated visits to get treated for hypersensitivity. This has led to evolving of treatment modalities utilizing single application medicaments like the resins, oxalates and cyanoacrylates.
