Abstract
Abstract Studies have found that periodontal disease or acute periodontal inflammation may lead to dentin hypersensitivity (DHS) if left untreated. Moreover, periodontal treatments may result in DHS after initial treatment and surgical therapy. Several desensitizing methods and agents are used to relieve DHS. Recently, laser therapy has been proposed to treat DHS. In this report, we present a case of a 59-year-old woman who had lower left tooth sensitivity after air-blast test. The patient achieved complete recovery after erbium-doped yttrium–aluminum–garnet laser therapy. The findings provide a basis for further studies into the clinical effectiveness of laser therapy in reducing DHS.
