Tooth sensitivity showdown: lasers vs. bee product gel in new study
NCT ID NCT07647861
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested four approaches for treating dentine hypersensitivity (tooth sensitivity): Nd:YAG laser, diode laser, a herbal propolis-based gel, and a sham (fake) treatment. 140 adults with at least two sensitive teeth were followed for 12 months to see which method reduced pain best. The goal is to find a reliable, long-lasting solution for this common problem.
