As far as our knowledge is, on the pervasiveness of the sensitive teeth in the adults of Pakistani population, there is not much data published. The data is collected from dental clinical examination and some self-governed questionnaires. Objective: To find out how common Dentine Hypersensitivity is in Pakistani people and to search out the causative elements/factors Methods: At the Dental College in Peshawar, Out-Patient Department (OPD) examined 1605 people. The questionnaire was distributed among the patients suffering from dentine hypersensitivity. Dental history, demographics, DH symptoms data dietary habits as well as the factors linked to DH, were collected in order to acquire the following information. In total 732 questionnaires were completed. Oral examinations were used to assess DH in people who had DH in at least one tooth. The participants also used a ten-digit visual analog scale to rate the seriousness of DH. A quick, acute pain emanating from uncovered dentine in rejoinder to an explorer probe and triple syringe wind squall of the tooth surface confirmed the diagnosis of DH. Results: The self-reported prevalence of Dentine Hypersensitivity was 13%, while the clinically diagnosed percentage of DH was 8.2%. Females were evaluated in greater numbers than males. The highest percentage of DH was observed in the patients of age group 30-39 years. The first molars and mandibular central incisors were the teeth that were considerably damaged. The main reason for the dentine hypersensitivity observed was the cold (89.4%). Those with moderate sensitivity for more than six months relied on natural remedies such as brushing with a pain - reducing paste rather than visiting their dentist. However, out of the total just 41 (8.8%) participants stated that they had visited a dental office. Conclusions: According to the findings, DH is a usual and widespread dental ailment in Pakistan. Despite the fact that the illness seems to cause some discomfort, majority of the patients prefer to either disregard it or simply endure it. As a result, the ailment is unlikely to have a substantial impact on the patients complaining of both the problem’s quality of life and lifestyle.

Objective: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted among 350 pregnant women to assess the level of their knowledge and awareness about bidirectional relationship between gingival inflammation and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Materials and Methods: A self-administered validated questionnaire was distributed to pregnant women visiting the tertiary care hospitals in Peshawar, Pakistan. The questionnaire included questions regarding their knowledge about bidirectional relationship between gingival inflammation (causes and treatment of the adverse effects of gingivitis on oral health of a woman and its preventive measures) and adverse pregnancy outcomes (preterm births and low birth weight babies).The data was entered into the Microsoft Excel sheet and applied to statistical analysis using SPSS (version 22). Descriptive analysis was used for comparison. Results: Most pregnant women did not know about the development of pregnancy gingivitis during pregnancy, as well as causes, effects, treatments and precautions. Most subjects agreed that oral health education was essentially necessary before the onset of pregnancy. Conclusion: Majority of pregnant women said that they were unaware about the development of pregnancy gingivitis during pregnancy, but few said they were aware of it. Therefore, efforts by general dentists, periodontists and medical professionals are needed to promote awareness among pregnant women about well-timed dental care to avoid any adverse pregnancy outcomes related to gingival inflammation.
