Analysis Of Pain Threshold And Matrix Metalloproteinase (Mmp)-8 Level Gingival Crevicular Fluid As A Successful Treatment Indicators Of Dentin Hypersensitivity Potassium Nitrate Induced By Iontophoresis

Dentine hypersensitivity is a major problem in the field of dentistry. Attrition, abrasion, clinical occlusal adjustment, the crown fractures, gum recession, restoration iatrogenic, trauma orthodontist, can be the cause of dentin hypersensitivity. In general, more than 90% area is the opening of dentine hypersensitivity in tooth root area, usually on the buccal surface of teeth. The purpose of this study is to obtain the effectiveness of potassium nitrate iontoforesis on pain threshold values and levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-8.Quasi-experimental research conducted on male and female patients aged 20-40 years with dentine hypersensitivity in premolar or canine teeth that meet the criteria for inclusion, and were willing to be treated in RSGM FKG Unpad with iontoforesis. Data obtained by measuring the value of using dental pain threshold before and after iontoforesis vitalytester also measured levels of MMP-8 before and after iontoforesis with Elisa method on tooth gum recession that observed for 2 weeks. The research sample is divided into several treatment groups are conducted with material desensitasi iontoforesis various concentrations. Draft analysis to dab pain threshold levels of MMP-8 before and after iontoforesis by paired T-test and analysis of variance. To determine the effect of various concentrations of the materials to the threshold of pain is influenced by the time used mulivariate of analysis. The results showed that the concentration of the solution, time, pain threshold value related. Potassium ions in solution is more effective in overcoming desensitasi dentinheypersensitivity.
