| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Visual analog scale (VAS) | A VAS is a line that is 10 cm in length, the extremes of which represent the limits of pain, a patient may experience an external stimulus (The left endpoint designated no pain was marked as 0 and the right endpoint designated sever pain was marked as 10). Patients will be asked to place a mark on the 10 cm line that indicated their dentin hypersensitivity intensity | Change from the Baseline, 1 week, 1 months, 3 months, 6 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Level of Pain Assessment using The Schiff sensitivity scale | It was used to assess dentin hypersensitivity. A score of 0, 1, 2 or 3 was assigned 0 = no subject response to stimulus
| Change from the Baseline, 1 week, 1 months, 3 months, 6 months |
