| Summary: | Dentin hypersensitivity is a common problem found in both male and female, mainly of older age. Discomfort or pain perceived in dentin hypersensitivity is caused by crown surface area that is not protected by enamel or dental root that is not protected by cementum. Characteristic of dentin hypersensitivity is acute, brief but sharp pain in dentin that is not covered by enamel. Pain can also be caused by edge leak on a defective restoration, fractured teeth, and disorder. Therefore, a thorough examination is required in order to apply the appropriate treatment. Various action and material can be used to treat this condition, however the principle idea is to organize intradental nervous activity or seal off dentinal tubule. On a case of dentin hypersensitivity due to cavity lesion either caused by caries or non caries, restoration has to be done. Condition without cavity can be treated with desenzitising agent such as sodium fluoride solution applied using particular device, fluoride toothpaste, calcium phosphate sillicate. The aim of this paper is to inform the etiology, mechanism of stimulation spread, and case management. |
