The in vivo study was designed to test, by comparison, a sodium fluoride solution 4.0% with a toothpaste that uses the Pro-Argin technology, containing arginine to 8.0% for the treatment of cervical dentin hypersensitivity (HSDC). For this, we selected 104 dental elements of 13 patients and randomly assigned into two groups. In group I, application of a 4.0% sodium fluoride was performed in the cervical region of the buccal surface for four minutes. In group II, application toothpaste containing arginine to 8.0% was made in the cervical region of the buccal surface for 4 minutes. Both treatments were performed in three sessions every 48 to 72 hours. Assessments of the degree of sensitivity were made through tactile and thermal-evaporative stimuli and recorded on a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at baseline, after the first session before the second and third session, with a month of control and three-month control. The statistical analysis used the Friedman test, Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney test result being that both substances were effective in reducing HSDC (p <0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference between them (p> 0.05).
