Abstract：AIM:To Compare the effect of dentine tubule occlusion between desensitizing toothpastes and common toothpaste (Cret salt whitening toothpaste) with different brushing methods.METHODS:56 dentine sensitive models were prepared from 56 third molars.All the models were randomly divided into 1 control group,and 6 experimental groups(n =8).The samples in the experimental groups were treated by Crest,Lessening and Sensodyne toothpaste with forefinger infriction and toothbrush infriction respectively.After treatment SEM was used to observe all the samples.The plugging rate and infiltration depths were calculated.RESULTES:Both of the 2 desensitizing toothpastes could effectively occlude dentin tubules when compared to other 2 groups (P ＜ 0.05),meanwhile forefinger infriction was more effective than toothbrush infriction (P ＜ 0.05).However,there was no significant difference between the 2 desensitizing toothpastes (P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION:Desensitizing toothpastes can effectively occlude dentine tubules,forefinger infriction is more effective than the toothbrush method.
