Development and in vitro evaluation of a novel carboxymethyl chitosan–based potassium oxalate strip for dentinal tubule occlusion and penetration

Dentin hypersensitivity is characterized by a short, sharp pain arising from exposed dentin in response to external stimuli, as explained by the hydrodynamic theory. Although oxalate-based mouthrinses can reduce sensitivity by occluding dentinal tubules, their effectiveness may be limited due to brief contact time...
