Abstract:
Nowadays, the occurrence of dentin hypersensitivity affects almost every person during their lifetime. Various stimuli – such as cold, heat, osmotic effects – can cause intense pain if the external structure of the tooth, enamel or cement layer are damaged or the anatomy of the enamel–cement border provides free dentin surface. Pain can trigger symptoms similar to tooth decay and its consequent diseases, so it is unclear to the patient what is causing the pain. The determination of dentin hypersensitivity is the task of the practising dentist. The prevention of the main root causes and the solution of the already existing problem cannot be managed without the knowledge of today’s modern treatment options. This review describes dentin hypersensitivity’s causes and effects and possible therapeutic solutions. Orv Hetil. 2024; 165(44): 1723–1727.

Tooth Anatomy
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...
