“…In this study, the mean number of sensitive teeth peaked at 40–49 years, with similar values in the older age groups of 50–59 years and 60–69 years. This is comparable to other studies on DS with peak ages in the 5th and 6th decades . In this Trinidadian study, there was a tendency for an increased percentage of mean sensitive teeth with age, peaking at 60–69 years.…”

“…Prevalence of DS amongst adults based on a literature review from 1964 to present (Table ) revealed a wide range in values from 1.3% to 73.0%. These differences in the prevalence may be related to the methodology of DS determination, with questionnaires probably overestimating the findings due to subjectivity in DS self‐reporting as opposed to more stringent measures of clinical determination.…”

The high prevalence of DS was comparable to other studies on periodontitis patients. Progressive periodontal disease and toothbrush abrasion were possible aetiological factors for DS in this study. Knowledge of local dietary practices and the role of acidic (sour) foods in eliciting DS may aid in management. The high prevalence of cervical tooth wear and the lower FMPS and FMBS among DS patients may reflect more aggressive tooth brushing. DS does not seem to be a limitation to plaque control in DS versus non-DS patients in this study.

“…Lower prevalence values were found in Nigerian university students (33.8%) 17 and in Turkish students (8.4%) 18 . The age range of our sample coincided with the peak prevalence for CDH in a study that evaluated the 18-44 age group 19 , but it fell short of the range of the peaks of two other studies: 30-39 years 20 and 50-59 years 21 . Thus, the difference between age groups may have contributed to the different prevalence rates between the studies.…”

Prevalence and potential factors associated with probable sleep or awake bruxism and dentin hypersensitivity in undergraduate students ResumoObjetivo: Mensurar a prevalência de provável bruxismo do sono e em vigília e de hiperestesia dentinária cervical de estudantes universitários e verificar os sintomas a eles associados. Metodologia: Este é um estudo transversal, cujo diagnóstico de provável bruxismo foi realizado pelo relato dos estudantes em ranger e/ou apertar os dentes durante o sono e em vigília combinado com o diagnóstico clínico de desgaste dentário e dor da musculatura do masseter à palpação. O diagnóstico de hipersensibilidade dentinária cervical foi realizado por testes de sensibilidade ao toque com sonda exploradora e a jato de ar da seringa tríplice. A amostra consistiu de 306 universitários entre 19 a 35 anos. Os dados foram armazenados e analisados no programa SPSS v.15.0 for Windows. Resultado: A prevalência de provável bruxismo foi de 34,3%, não havendo predominância entre os gêneros. O provável bruxismo em vigília foi o mais predominante (61,9%), ocorrendo principalmente quando o indivíduo estava em estado de concentração (63,1%). Não houve uma associação entre provável bruxismo do sono e em vigília e hiperestesia dentinária (p=0,195). Os indivíduos com provável bruxismo do sono possuíram maior chance de acordar com dor nos músculos da face (OR=14,14, IC95% 5,06-39,55) e com provável bruxismo em vigília maior chance de cansaço muscular facial ao mastigar ou falar por muito tempo (OR=2,88, IC95% 1,53-5,43) e dor nos músculos da face ao acordar (OR=5,31, IC95% 1,93-14,62). Conclusão: A prevalência de provável bruxismo foi 34,3% e de HDC 57,8%, com 22,2% destes também apresentando provável bruxismo, mas sem associação estatística. Indivíduos com provável bruxismo tendem a ter maior risco de apresentar dores faciais ao acordar e cansaço muscular facial ao falar e mastigar por muito tempo. Não houve associação entre provável bruxismo do sono e em vigília e hipersensibilidade dentinária cervical.Descritores: Bruxismo; sensibilidade da dentina; prevalência; análise multivariada. AbstractObjective: To measure the prevalence of probable sleep or awake bruxism and cervical dentin hypersensitivity of undergraduate students and to determine the symptoms associated with these conditions. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study. A diagnosis of probable bruxism was reached when students reported clenching or grinding of the teeth during sleep and/or wakefulness, and when they also presented some of the signs and symptoms of bruxism and masseter muscle pain on palpation. Cervical dentinal hypersensitivity was diagnosed by testing for sensitivity to pain in the cervical region of the teeth. Pain was triggered either by touch (using a #5 probe) or by an air jet spray. The sample consisted of 306 university students aged between 19 and 35 years old. The data were stored and analysed using SPSS software, version 15.0 for Windows. Result: The prevalence of probable bruxism was 34.3%, with no predominance r...

“…It is a common problem found mainly in adult populations, however, with huge variations in prevalence, ranging from 1% to 98% (Mantzourani M Wang Y et al, 2012). At present, the most widely accepted explanation for DH is hydrodynamic theory (West NX et al, 2013).…”

Background and Objective: Bamboo salt, Calcined oyster, Drynaria fortunei, Indigo naturalis and Rehmannia glutinosa have been the main ingredients of many formulations in Chinese medicine for the treatment of toothache. This study evaluated the effect of a new desensitizing gel on dentin hypersensitivity (DH). Materials and Methods: The desensitizing gel was prepared through a confirmed prescription of ingredients mentioned above and Poloxamer 407 (P407). The best concentration of P407 in prescription was screened according to the gelatin temperature of gel. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to evaluate the dentinal tubule occlusion of 32 human premolars under various treatments including the desensitizing gel. Randomized controlled clinical trials were conducted to evaluate the clinical effect of the desensitizing gel. Results:The best concentration of P407 in prescription was 0.30g/ml. Scanning electron micrographs of the cross-sectional and longitudinal dentin surfaces revealed most of the dentinal tubules were occluded by sedimentation after desensitizing gel treatment, and significant difference existed compared to the control groups. Randomized clinical trials showed 173.72% and 270.07% mean relative improvements on tactile hypersensitivity at one-month and two-month follow-ups, and 54.11% and 90.91% mean relative reductions on air blast hypersensitivity at one-month and two-month follow-ups (p<0.05). There was no statistical difference between the desensitizing gel and Duraphat group at different time intervals (p>0.05). Conclusions: Based on these findings, the desensitizing gel exhibits an obvious effect on dentinal tubule occlusion. Besides, data of the randomized clinical trials indicate a potential role for the desensitizing gel in managing DH.
