Opis

Dental hypersensitivity probably affects most individuals and at times, pain may be so severe that patient believes that his/her dentition is seriously and perhaps irreversibly affected. Iontophoresis i.e. use of desensitizing agents along with electric current has been utilized as a lasting and predictable treatment of dental hypersensitivity. In the recent past, researchers have been trying to manage this problem by surgical means also by re-covering the exposed tooth root surfaces. Present investigation attempted to find out the effects of combining both these treatment modalities to alleviate the menace of hypersensitivity, along with enhancing the patients esthetics.
