ABSTRACT
Dentinal hypersensitivity is defined as short sharp pain arising from expose dentin response to stimuli typically thermal osmotic chemical evaporative tactile and other form of dental defects or disease. After other possible conditions have been eliminated like chipped or fracture teeth, cracked cusps, carious lesions,
Leaky restorations and palate-gingival groves, dentinal hypersensitivity usually is diagnosed.
According to some reports its prevalence has been 25% to 48% in Adult population in India. Canines and premolars are more prone to become
hypersensitive. In dentinal hypersensitivity, microscopic examination has revealed that dentinal tubules are wider and numerous. Publication date: 01/03/2022 https://ijbpas.com/pdf/2022/March/MS_IJBPAS_2022_5858.pdfDownload PDFhttps://doi.org/10.31032/IJBPAS/2022/11.3.5858
