“…Two main approaches are usually followed as treatments options: chemical or physical dentinal tubule occlusion and/or nerve desensitization (Mantzourani & Sharma, 2013;Sgreccia et al, 2020). Clinical protocols usually associates a large variety of products and application periods comprising both approaches (Machado et al, 2018;Marto et al, 2019;Sgreccia et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2016), while a recent metanalysis suggested that the association of tubule occlusion and neural desensitization provides the best outcomes (Moraschini et al, 2018). From the results of our survey, it is concerning that most dentists or undergraduates don't have knowledge or have only superficial knowledge about this theory.…”

“…It advocates that external stimuli incite the dentinal fluid flow, exciting the nerve fibers, and consequently causing pain (Brännström, 1964).

Aim: Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is a health condition with variable prevalence rates, affecting a large portion of the population, especially young adults. This study aimed to verify the level of knowledge on the subject both of dentistry professionals and students and the general population. Methodology: An exploratory-descriptive study with quantitative analysis was carried out using a digital form released via social media to be filled in by the Google Forms tool. Four dimensions were evaluated regarding general characteristics and the presence of DH, as well as specific characteristics related to the group (dentists/dental students or general population). Results: The form was answered by 212 participants. Of these, 69% of the lay population claimed to frequently consume acidic foods and drinks, 35% claimed to have sensitive teeth and 30% self-indicated products for the treatment of DH. In relation to the group linked to dentistry, 46% did not know the difference between agents with obliterating and neural action; and 51% did not know the Hydrodynamic Theory. Conclusion: the population linked to dentistry showed a lack of knowledge about DH. The lay population, on the other hand, showed a superficial knowledge of DH, but with information acquired from informal sources.

“…64 Interestingly, a clinical study conducted by Sgreccia et al comparing potassium oxalate with low-level GaAIA laser treatment concluded that occluding dentinal tubules with potassium oxalate provided relief of DH symptoms immediately after the first application and after three weeks (with four applications), while laser was only effective in reducing cervical DH after three weeks. 90 These conflicting results may be due to the shorter duration of study by Sgreccia et al compared to the other studies.…”

The prevalence of dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is increasing around the world. At least one in 10 individuals in the general population has been diagnosed with DH. It is a diagnosis that has significant negative effects on a person's oral health-related quality of life. This condition, which is characterized by sharp, short tooth pain in response to thermal, chemical, tactile, and evaporative stimuli, is more commonly seen in adults. DH has a tremendous impact on the social and financial aspects of patients and society at large. It is essential to recognize the factors that can contribute to a successful treatment outcome to guarantee the overall well-being of DH patients.The aim of this narrative review was to highlight strategies that can lead to successful DH treatment outcomes, along with current updates on DH mechanisms, treatment options, and the latest management approaches. A positive treatment outcome for DH requires a concerted effort from both the patient and the dental practitioner. Highly motivated patients and dental practitioners with sound knowledge of DH diagnosis and available treatment options will ensure successful long-term improvement of DH symptoms.

“…These assessments were performed by directing a three seconds of compressed air from a triple air dental syringe at 60 psi (±5 psi) onto the affected area of the tooth in a distance of approximately one centimeter away from the cervical region of the teeth while the adjacent teeth were isolated using cotton rolls 17 .…”
