In-office laser therapy (all types combined) vs Placebo (placebo laser or placebo agent) or no treatment
Changes in intensity of pain (VAS 0 to 10) tested through air blast stimuli · Patients aged above 12 years with self-reported tooth hypersensitivity confirmed on clinical evaluation
It is very uncertain whether in-office laser therapy (all types combined) changes changes in intensity of pain (VAS 0 to 10) tested through air blast… compared with placebo (placebo laser or placebo agent) or no treatment (very low certainty).
