Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of desensitizing paste containing self-curing calcium phosphate and a fluoro-alumino-calcium silicate on dentin hypersensitivity. Evaluation was determined to use ultrasonic techniques, laser scanning microscope observation, scanning electron microscope observation and energy dispersive x-ray analysis. From the results of this study, each desensitizer showed similar suppressing effect for dentin hypersensitivity. However, self-curing phosphate desensitizer is thought to be more biocompatibility material than the fluoro-alumino-calcium silicate-based desensitizer.
