Summary

Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) management involves understanding its biology and prevalence. Systematic treatment, starting with prevention and at-home care, is recommended, potentially supplemented by in-office procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Biology

Background:

  • Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is a common clinical condition.
  • Understanding the biological basis of DH is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current literature on dentin hypersensitivity (DH).
  • To inform practitioners about the etiology, prevalence, and management of DH.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search of MEDLINE (1999-2005) using keywords related to dentin and hypersensitivity.
  • Inclusion of studies on etiology, prevalence, clinical features, treatment trials, and mechanisms of action.

Main Results:

  • Prevalence of DH varies significantly based on diagnostic methods.
  • Potassium-containing toothpastes are common at-home treatments.
  • In-office treatments often use barrier agents, with variable efficacy.

Conclusions:

  • DH diagnosis requires ruling out other causes of tooth pain.
  • A systematic approach to desensitizing treatment is recommended, prioritizing prevention and at-home therapies.
  • In-office treatments can supplement at-home care for DH management.
