What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate dental and periodontal health after interproximal enamel reduction (IPR) in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with clear aligners. It compares the effects of Laser diode treatment and sodium fluoride on dentin hypersensitivity, a common discomfort during orthodontic care. The study investigates whether these treatments reduce dentin hypersensitivity better than no treatment in this population. Participants are divided into three groups: one receiving no treatment, one treated with Laser diode, and one receiving sodium fluoride gel. IPR is performed to reduce tooth size and manage crowding or tooth shape issues during orthodontic care. The study observes the impact of these treatments over a period of 3 to 4 months after IPR. During the study, dentin hypersensitivity and periodontal health are assessed before and after IPR at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months using diagnostic tests like the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Researchers monitor changes in sensitivity and periodontal indices to measure treatment effects. The total participation involves regular evaluations to track dental health and sensitivity changes throughout the study period.
