The Gingival recession is considered a multi-factorial. The etiology may be an anatomically vulnerable area, faulty tooth brushing, high frenum attachment. In cases where there is progressive recession, aesthetics concern or increasing dentinal hypersensitivity, we can do recession coverage. Depending upon the presence or absence of adequate keratinized tissue we can choose the technique. In case of adequate width of keratinized tissue, usually we can do displaced flap and in case where there is inadequate width, we can do gingival grafting.

Background: the present study aims to evaluate whether fluoro calcium phospho silicate (Biomin or Elzenes) or in combination with Diode laser has better dentinal tubule occlusion and can be suggested as a effective treatment modality for patients with dentinal hypersensitivity. The objectives of the study were -to evaluate effectiveness of Fluoro calcium phospho silicate on dentinal tubules occlusion, to evaluate effectiveness of Fluoro calcium phospho silicate and laser and to compare its effect with Fluoro calcium phosphosilicate alone and laser on dentinal tubule occlusion, and to evaluate the effectiveness of laser on dentinal tubule occlusion. In study setting, SEM analysis was done at Sophisticated test and instrumentation centre, Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT), Kerala. 120 Dentine specimens were obtained from sound premolars extracted for orthodontic purpose from the patients of age group 13 to 40 years. All the teeth were stored in 0. 2% thymol at room temperature. In our study, Fluoro calcium phospho silicate (Biomin) showed an average results of 70.37% completely occluded tubules and 23.48% of partially occluded tubules compared to 2.68% and 28.43% in the control group. Conclusion: In our invitro study the treated groups the specimens brushed with combination group (Biomin and Laser) showed the highest percentage of tubule occlusion followed by Biomin alone and then Laser. Hence from the results, it can be stated that combination of Biomin and laser can be considered as the best effective method in office treatment modality for dentinal hypersensitivity because of its ability to occlude more tubules.. Keywords: Diode laser, Biomin or Elzenes

Background : Dentinal hypersensitivity (DH) is a painful clinical condition and is characterized by pain arising from exposed dentin in response to various stimuli. Various treatment modalities are available to treat dentinal hypersensitivity which include at-home and in-office treatment. At home treatment generally consists of a variety of dentrifices containing different constituents like strontium chloride and bioactive glass (Novamin). These agents cause occlusion of dentinal tubules thereby reducing hypersensitivity.Purpose: This study  was  to evaluate the effects of different desensitizing dentifrices on dentinal tubule occlusion by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of strontium chloride and bioactive glass (Novamin) pastes in the treatment of dentinehypersensitivity (DH) Methods: sixteen extractedspecimens from bovine incisors teeth with randomized into 2 groups (n=8). The crowns were removed from the root and the crown  were sectioned longitudinally into two parts (in a mesiodistaldirection). The cervical toothwere resulting in two samples per tooth.Dentinal tubules were exposedand thesamples provided a 4 mm x 4 mm area of exposed dentinal tubules.Group 1 (treated with strontium chloride), Group 2 (treated with  bioactive glass (novamin))After each treatment for seven days, tubule occlusion on dentin were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy  (SEM).The data were analyzed using “mann-whitneytest” (p<0.05).Result: Groups bioactive glass (novamin) showed tubule occlusion highest when compared with groups strontium chloride.Conclusion: bioactive glass (novamin) paste showed tubule occlusion highest with strontium chloride

In the literature, Dentinal Hypersensitivity (DH) is considered to arise from exposed dentin and patent dentinal tubules. However, clinical observation of recurrent DH sensitivity indicates it can occur in the presence or absence of exposed dentin. Quantified occlusal contact force and timing parameters have been ignored in studies assessing hypersensitive teeth. This chapter introduces a novel occlusal concept: Frictional Dental Hypersensitivity (FDH). Clinical evidence from combining computerized occlusal analysis and electromyography is presented linking opposing posterior tooth friction and muscular hyperactivity to Dentin Hypersensitivity. This chapter proffers how occlusion, muscular TMD symptoms, and frictional Dentin Hypersensitivity are all related. Lastly, a Pilot Study is presented that used a Visual Numerical Analog scale to quantify Dentin Hypersensitivity resolution observed in symptomatic patients who underwent the Immediate Complete Anterior Guidance Development (ICAGD) coronoplasty. This computer-guided occlusal adjustment eliminated pretreatment FDH symptomatology, further supporting that Dentinal Hypersensitivity has an occlusally-based, frictional etiology.
