Abstract:

Dentine hypersensitivity is one of the most encountered problems in the dental clinics. When a patient presents with dentine hypersensitivity symptoms, he/she should be examined and informed of the proper treatment option to eliminate the problem. However, many dentists have some problems in diagnosing and treating dentine hypersensitivity. Selection of the most appropriate treatment option to achieve successful management is based on proper diagnosis for the condition and its etiological factor. This presentation will cover the following: the etiological factors, diagnosis and invasive vs. most recent non invasive treatment of dentine hypersensitivity.
