Abstract

DANTAS, Euler Maciel et al. Low-level laser therapy for treating cervical dentinal hipersensitivity : literature review. Odontol. Clín.-Cient. (Online) [online]. 2013, vol.12, n.1, pp. 07-11. ISSN 1677-3888.

The dentinal hipersensibility (HSDC) is a very prevalent pathology that, in most of the cases presents a hard diagnostic and difficulty of treatment. There are many forms of treatment, however with parcial results. In these past few years laser therapy have been in focus, as much as low and high power. The purpose of this study is to inquire into the methodology and results found in suitable literature. In front of a little amount of articles avaliable in literature we have to conclude that laser therapy have been shown a promising way to treat dentinal hipersensibility. Therefore, we should go deeper into the studies to establish a reproducible methodolgy in aid of research, providing reliable results.
