Dentin hypersensitivity is characterized by short sharp pain arising from exposed dentin most commonly at the tooth cervical area in response to stimuli (typically thermal, evaporative, tactile, osmotic or chemical), but which cannot be ascribed to any other dental defects, diseases or restorative treatments. It is a commonly encountered but frequently misunderstood clinical problem. It occurs in many adults at various levels of prevalence ranging from 3% to 57%, owing to differences in the populations studied and the methods of investigation used. In general, patients with periodontitis have a relatively higher prevalence of dentin hypersensitivity, presumably because of the greater risk and extent of root exposure as a result of periodontal destruction. In recent years, there are increasing numbers of younger adults with this noxious problem, likely due to the exposure to some predisposing factors such as acidic diets, traumatic brushing, personal habits, and the inappropriate use of tooth whitening products. Growing numbers of patients are seeking professional care for this problem.
