A large number of compounds have been employed in the management of dentine hypersensitivity. The symptomatic nature of the condition and its variability poses many problems to any evaluation of effect. Several semi-quantitative methods of response have been used; however, at this time it is uncertain what advantages they hold over the patients' subjective assessment of improvement. A review of the clinical studies reveals that a positive result for every agent tested to date may be found. Nevertheless considerable placebo responses have been obtained and equivocal results are occasionally reported. The fluorides and metal salts, particularly of strontium, have been most studied when used either in solution or delivered in toothpaste formulations. For these compounds the literature contains considerable information concerning the reaction with dental hard tissues which can be extrapolated into hypotheses for the modes of action in relieving dentine hypersensitivity. Moreover, some in vitro studies provide useful information concerning the effects of certain compounds on dentine, and are consistent with the clinical data. Unfortunately, contradictory findings and anomalies between clinical and in vitro effects still prevent the development of a sound clinical basis for the treatment of the condition. Moreover, there is a need to recognise those factors which predispose to dentine exposure, if the prevention of the occurrence or re-occurrence of hypersensitivity is to be achieved.

“…Wei et al (21) have found that, although this dentifrice decreased hypersensitivity, the improvement level was nol signifieant eompared with the eontrol and strontium chloride. Zinner et al (5) claimed an 84% improvement after using this eitrate toothpaste for 6 weeks. However, in their trial, the placebo dentifrice also brought about great improvement (60%).…”

“…Mechanical stimulation includes various methods of applying pressure to teeth. These range from scratching the dentin surface with a sharp explorer (5,6), scaling procedures (7,8), and the use of a "pressure stimulator" device (9). Another commonly used stimulus is a 1-s blast of cold air (6,7,10,11) which causes pain by dehydration, which in turn causes a rapid movement of" tubular fluid (12).…”

The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a dentifrice with 2% dibasic sodium citrate in poloxamer 407 in decreasing dentinal hypersensitivity. The test toothpaste was compared with a control toothpaste containing 0.76% sodium monofluorophosphate in a 6-week double-blind clinical trial. A total of 75 hypersensitive teeth were examined in the test group, while 100 hypersensitive teeth were in the control group. Changes in hypersensitivity levels were monitored after 6 weeks, using thermal, chemical and mechanical stimuli. At the end of 6 weeks, the test dentifrice was not significantly more effective than the control in decreasing dentinal hypersensitivity. Of the stimuli used, cold was the most effective in eliciting a hypersensitive response, followed by chemical stimulation and air. Heat and toothbrushing caused the least discomfort.
