The prevalence of self-reported hypersensitive teeth

Effect of Two Desensitizing Agents in Reducing Dentin Hypersensitivity: An in-vivo Comparative Clinical Trial

“…The mean age of 37 years of the study sample correlated with the data which was reported by other researchers, which indicated that dentinal hypersensitivity primarily affected adults who were aged 20-50 years [4]. Similarly, Murray's [5] observation that pre-molars were commonly affected by dentin hypersensitivity, coincided with the results of our study.…”

Clinical evaluation of cervical dentine sensitivity in a population of patients referred to a specialist periodontology department: a pilot study

“…The higher figures reponed in the present study may reJate to the fact that the study population was recruited irom a Periodonlology Department in a specialist hospital, as opposed to a general dental practice. Lower rales of CDS prevalence, ranging from 14'5% to 28%, have been reported in general dental hospital clinics (Flynn et aL, 1985;Fischer et al, 1992), general dental surgeries (Graf & Galasse, 1977) and the general population (Murray & Roberts, 1994).…”

“…1994). According to Kanapka (1990) this condition affects about 40 million adults in the United States, and more recently international surveys suggest a prevalence of approximately 15% (Murray &• Roberts, 1994). Few studies, apart from CoUaert &• Speelman (1991) and Gillam etal.…”

Comparison between effectiveness of a low-viscosity glass ionomer and a resin-based glutaraldehyde containing primer in treating dentine hypersensitivity—a 25.2-month evaluation

“…1 Its prevalence is age and genderdependent and isreportedtoaffectupto15-17%ofpeople over the age of 18. 2,3 Hypersensitivity is characterised by a short, sharp pain and sometimes a brief after-pain after introducing tactical, thermal and chemical stimuli 4 to exposed dentine.…”
