Desensitizing agents on Vital tooth preparation: A review

This book provides a comprehensive overview of desensitizing agents used in reducing the vital tooth sensitivity. It covers the etiology and mechanisms behind dentin hypersensitivity highlighting the anatomical and physiological aspects of the dentin -pulp complex. Also, it delves into the classification and types of desensitizing agents, including potassium nitrate, fluoride, calcium phosphates, and newer technologies like laser and iontophoresis treatments. And This review explores the effectiveness of various desensitizing agents including potassium nitrate ,fluoride ,calcium phosphate and oxalates in reducing the post operative sensitivity associated with vital tooth preparation. Additionally,clinical application techniques and long term outcomes are also discussed.
