Summary
Background: Dentine hypersensitivity is defined as transitional pain with differentiated intensity caused by mechanical, chemical, osmotics stimuli. Dental recession, periodontitis with clinical attatchment loss>3 mm, periodontal treatment, supra- and subgingival scaling, surgical treatment that may cause the removal of cementum layers from dental root surface, thus causing dental hypersensitivity. The prevalence of hypersensitivity ranges from 3 to 98%.
