The Role of Laser in the Treatment of Cervical Dentin Hypersensitivity

Cervical dentin hypersensitivity (CDH) is a common condition characterized by sharp, transient pain caused by exposed dentinal tubules, often resulting from periodontal disease or other underlying factors. Conventional home and in-office desensitization treatments may fail to provide adequate relief in persistent cases. This case study presents the successful management of CDH using a non-invasive laser-assisted approach. Nd:YAG laser therapy was applied to affected teeth, effectively sealing dentinal tubules and modulating nerve conduction, leading to immediate and complete pain resolution. The treatment outcome underscores the potential of laser therapy as an alternative desensitization strategy, offering rapid and efficient symptom relief. Laser technology, with its ability to promote tissue stability and reduce hypersensitivity, presents a promising option for enhancing patient comfort and long-term clinical success.
