Abstract

The purpose of this review is to educate practitioners about dentine hypersensitivity (DH). We provide a brief overview of the antisensitivity role of ingredients and the clinical management of dentine hypersensitivity, and discuss technical approaches to mitigate susceptibility. This clinical information is explained in the context of the underlying biology. The author used his PUBMED to find relevant English literature published between 1999 and 2010. The authors used a combination of search terms 'dentin*', 'tooth', 'teeth', 'hypersensitivity' and 'desensitize. Abstracts and full-text articles were used to identify studies describing etiology, prevalence, clinical features, controlled clinical trials of treatments, and relevant laboratory studies on mechanism of action.

Keywords: Dentin Sensitivity, Pain, Sensitivity relief.
