Participants were randomly allocated either to the Opalustre group where patients in this group were treated using (Opalustre, Ultradent Products, USA), or the Antivet group where patients in this group were treated using (Antivet- Dental Continental, México). Teeth sensitivity then was assessed immediately after procedure, 1month and 3months and documentation was made by photographs, the patient satisfaction was assessed by 7points lickert scale. Results: Teeth sensitivity was significantly the highest post-operative immediately as it was(1.67 ± 1.72)and(0.42 ± 0.67) regarding Opalustre and Antivet respectively. Opalustre group (1.67 ± 1.72)was significantly higher than Antivet(0.42 ± 0.67)immediately postoperative.
