Dentin hypersensitivity is a common condition of transient
tooth pain associated with a variety of exogenous stimuli.
There is substantial variation in the response to such stimuli
from one person to another. Except for sensitivity
associated with tooth bleaching or other tooth pathology, the
clinical cause of dentin hypersensitivity is exposed dentinal
tubules as a result of gingival recession and subsequent loss
of cementum on root surfaces. The most widely accepted
theory of how the pain occurs is Brännström's hydrodynamic
theory of dentin hypersensitivity. Dentinal
hypersensitivity must be differentiated from other conditions
that may cause sensitive teeth prior to treatment. The
author provides a review of the causes of this condition and
some strategies for treating it. |
