Frequency of dental hypersensitivity after scaling and root planing in patients treated at the dental clinic of the Norbert Wiener University, 2016-I
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-07-05) Huamán Huamán, Gonzalo Gabriel; Aldazabal Martínez, Celia
The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of dentinal hypersensitivity following scaling and root planing in patients treated at the Dental Clinic of Universidad Norbert Wiener – 2016-I. The study was observational, prospective, cross-sectional, and descriptive. The study group consisted of 72 patients, aged 20 to 80 years, from both genders. The Huamán questionnaire was used as the instrument. The results showed that 37% of patients experienced dentinal hypersensitivity following scaling and root planing, with a higher prevalence in females (67.9%). Of those, 85.7% had mild severity, 64.3% experienced sensitivity to cold, and 3.6% did not use toothpaste to treat it. The study concluded that there is a significant relationship between the absence of dentinal hypersensitivity and dentinal hypersensitivity following scaling and root planing, as well as a significant relationship with gender (p < 0.05).
