Report on the Second Section of the Seminar on Laser Treatment for Dentinal Hypersensitivity

In the second section of the one-day in-person seminar on treating dental sensitivity with laser, Dr. Rouhani-Nasab delivered a comprehensive and scientific explanation on the important topic of dental sensitivity. He discussed the details of this condition and ways to manage and treat it, covering the following points:

✔️ Definition of Dental Sensitivity: Dental sensitivity is recognized as a sharp and transient pain caused by the stimulation of the dental dentin, often triggered by the consumption of cold, hot, sour, or sweet foods and beverages.

✔️ Common Treatment Methods: Dr. Rouhani-Nasab outlined various approaches to managing dental sensitivity, including:

Home Methods: Such as using desensitizing toothpaste, which works by blocking the dentinal tubules or reducing neural stimulation.

Professional Dental Methods: These include fluoride therapy to strengthen the enamel, dentin sealers to block pathways of stimulation, and laser treatment, which can reduce sensitivity by decreasing the neural response or creating a protective layer.

✔️ Available Therapeutic Products in the Iranian Market: He provided special insights into products available domestically, including:

Potassium nitrate or strontium oxide-containing toothpastes, which help reduce dental sensitivity.

Fluoride varnishes to enhance the resistance of dentin and enamel against stimuli.

Professional dental solutions used to coat the tooth surface and reduce sensitivity.

Dr. Rouhani-Nasab emphasized that accurately identifying the cause of dental sensitivity is the first step in effective treatment. He also highlighted the importance of preventing gum recession and maintaining good oral hygiene to avoid the onset of sensitivity. Finally, he introduced innovative treatment methods, such as laser therapy and nanomaterials, as promising approaches to managing this issue.
