INTRODUCTION• Common global oral health problem• Most frequently encountered clinical
problem• One of the oldest recorded complaints of
discomfort• Response to a stimuli varies from person
to person
![Page 5: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
DEFINITION• “Dentine hypersensitivity is characterized
by short, sharp pain arising from exposed dentin in response to stimuli typically thermal, evaporative, tactile, osmotic or chemical and which cannot be ascribed to any other form of dental defect or pathology”.
[HOLLAND ET AL,1997]

INCIDENCE AND PREVALENCE
• AGE: all age groups
peak incidence : 30-39 yrs
old age : sensitivity because of-
1)secondary & tertiary dentin
2)pulp fibrosis
3)sclerosis of tubules
![Page 9: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• SEX : women more frequently affected (15%)
• INTRAORAL DISTRIBUTION: buccal cervical zones of permanent teeth

(1)ANATOMY OF ALVEOLAR BONE :
• Most frequently cited predisposing factor• Thin, fenestrated or absent LABIAL
BONE(Aldritt 1968,Bernimoulan and Curilovie 1977,Lost 1984)
![Page 14: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
(2)TOOTH ANATOMY & POSITION :
• Tooth anatomy (Olsson and Lindhe 1991) & tooth position (Gorman 1967,Modheer and Odenrick 1980)
can influence alveolar bone thickness
• Orthodontic tooth movement
![Page 15: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
(3) ORAL HYGIENE :
![Page 16: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
(4) GINGIVAL DISEASES :
• ANUG
• ANUP
• Chronic periodontitis with associated bone loss can cause recession although the BUCCAL area does not appear to be a site of predilection for periodontal lesions
![Page 17: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
(5) TRAUMA :
• Non-surgical(scaling & root planing)• Impaction of foreign objects in the
gingiva(Jenkins and Allen 1994)
• Factitious injury(Glenwright and Stranhan 1994)
• Toothbrushing (Sandholm et al 1982 , Bergstrom and Eliasson 1988 , Knocht et al 1993)
![Page 18: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
(6) OTHER FACTORS :• Frenal pull at the gingival margin
(Mazdyasma and stoner 1980,Powell and McEniery 1981)
• Occlusal trauma (Parfitt and Mjor 1964, Trott and Love 1966)
• Emotional stress (Stone 1948)
![Page 19: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
NEUROPHYSIOLOGY OF TEETH
• Teeth are supplied by the alveolar branches of the fifth cranial nerve, namely the trigeminal nerve (the maxillary branch in the upper jaw and the mandibular in the lower jaw).
• Pulp is a highly innervated tissue that contains sensory trigeminal afferent axons.
• Sympathetic efferent fibers control the blood flow
![Page 20: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• The cell bodies of the sensory neurons of the pulp are located in the trigeminal ganglion. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of axons enter the pulp through the apical foramen where they branch following the distribution of the blood supply all over the pulp.
• The majority of the nerve bundles reach the coronal dentin where they fan out to form the nerve plexus of Raschkow.
• These then synapse into the odontoblastic cell layer
![Page 21: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Two types of sensory nerve fibres are seen :
Myelinated fibres (A delta{90%} & A beta)
Unmyelinated fibres
A delta fibres – pulp dentin borderin the coronal portion of the pulp & pulp horns
C fibres – core of the pulp
![Page 22: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
THEORIES OF DENTIN HYPERSENSITIVITY
![Page 23: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
A number of theories have been proposed over the years to explain the pain mechanism of dentinal hypersensitivity - :
Direct Neural Stimulation
Odontoblast Deformation Theory/Tranducer theory
Hydrodynamic theory
![Page 24: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
(1)DIRECT NEURAL STIMULATION
• One of the first theories put forth
![Page 25: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Drawbacks :
• Nerves are present only in the predentine & inner dentinal zones but donot extend upto the DEJ which is the most sensitive part of the dentine
• Nerves absent in root dentin
![Page 26: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
(2)Odontoblast Deformation Theory/Tranducer theory
• Rapp et al
![Page 27: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Drawbacks :
• Odontoblastic processes extend only partly through the dentin and not upto the DEJ
• No demonstrable neurotransmitters like acetylcholine in the neural transmission of the pulp
![Page 28: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
(3) Hydrodynamic theory
• Brannstrom• Dentin has over 300,000 tubules/mm2
which is filled with dentinal fluid.• In a vital tooth there is constant slow
outward movement of the fluid through the tubules.
![Page 29: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
![Page 30: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• WIDTH of the tubule is important as the rate of fluid flow is dependent on the fourth power of the radius.
• If tubule diameter doubles a 16 fold increase in fluid flow occurs
• Sensitive teeth have many more(8 times) & wider(2 times)tubules at the buccal cervical area compared to non-sensitive teeth.
![Page 31: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Higher velocity of fluid flow also occurs in tubules with smaller dimeter
• Dentin will only be sensitive if the tubules are patent from pulp to the oral environment & this patency will change with production and removal of the smear layer hence resulting in an episodic condition.
![Page 32: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
CLINICAL FEATURES –Patients generally complain that pain
arising from dentine hypersensitivity is usually rapid in onset, sharp in character, and short in duration.–Pain is considered to be an
exaggerated response of normal pulp- dentin complex and is only felt on application of external stimulus.–No lingering discomfort once the
stimulus is removed .
![Page 33: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
DIAGNOSIS
(A) CASE HISTORY :• History & nature of pain• Number & location of the sensitive teeth• Intensity of the pain• Stimuli which initiates the pain• Frequency & duration of sensitivity• Treatment history

SUbjECTIvE EvALUATION
(1)VERBAL RATING SCALES :
• Keele 1948• Four point scale grading pain as SLIGHT ,
MODERATE , SEVERE & AGONIZING• Restrictive choice of words that may not
be very precise with all patients.
![Page 36: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
(2)VISUAL ANALOGUE SCALES :
• 10cm line.extremes of the line represent limits of pain
• More sensitive in discriminating betwen various treatments and changes in pain intensity
• Best available method
![Page 37: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
(3)VERBAL DESCRIPTOR CHECKLISTS :
• Allows quantitative assessment of both the sensory and affective dimensions of pain using a continuum across different pain conditions instead of words intended to distinguish conditions (Gracely et al 1978)
![Page 38: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
![Page 39: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
(4)McGILL WORD DESCRIPTORS :
• It is used to determine the nature of the discomfort & to monitor response to treatment.
DISADV:reliance on the ability of the subject to understand the words presented to them
![Page 40: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
![Page 41: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
ObjECTIvE EvALUATION
(1)MECHANICAL STIMULATION :
![Page 42: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
(2) CHEMICAL(OSMOTIC) STIMULATION :
• Hypertonic solution of sucrose or calcium chloride (Anderson & Matthews 1967,Clark et al 1987)
• Solute in solution diffuses into the dentinal fluid so on repeated application the osmotic pressure difference between the tubular fluid & applied fluid will decrease & reduce the effect of the solution as an osmotic stimulus(Pashley 1986)
• Long time intervals should be allowed
![Page 43: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
(3) THERMAL STIMULATION:
![Page 44: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
(4)DEHYDRATING/EVAPORATIVE STIMULI :
• Combined thermal & evaporative stimulus
• Short air blasts have been recommended to avoid excess evaporation & consequent changes in hypersensitivity (Brannstrom 1963,Pashley et al 1984) & undesirable pulpal effects
• Affects wider area-more intense pain response
![Page 45: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
(5)ELECTRICAL STIMULATION :
• Quantification of electric current can be used to measure sensitivity
• Determine a condition called PRE-PAIN
• Attributed to larger,more rapidly conducting nerve fibres
• Current applied should be less than 1 milliampere
![Page 46: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS• Cracked tooth syndrome(in heavily restored teeth)
• Incorrect placement of dentin adhesives (nanoleakage)
• Fractured restorations• Pulpal response to caries & restorative
treatment• Improperly contoured restorations (traumatic
occlusion)
• Chipped teeth• Vital bleaching
![Page 47: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
PREVENTION
(1) DIETARY COUNSELLING :
• Reduce dietary acids
![Page 48: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
(2)TOOTHBRUSHING TECHNIQUES :
![Page 49: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
(3) PLAQUE CONTROL :

DESENSITIZATION BY OCCLUDING DENTINAL TUBULES
A)Formation of smear layer
B)Topical agents C)Restorations
1.calcium hydroxide paste D)Lasers 2.calcium phosphate paste
3.silver nitrate
4.strontium chloride
5.fluorides
6.potassium oxalates
7.varnishes
8.dentin adhesives
![Page 54: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
A) Formation of smear layer :• Isolating the affected tooth &
burnishing the dentin with an orangewood stick.
• Results in the formation of a smear layer which occludes the tubules
• Temporary relief
![Page 55: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
B) Topical Agents :i)CALCIUM HYDROXIDE –
Mixed with distilled water to form a thick paste
Applied for a few minutes on exposed dentin
Increases remineralizationTemporary relief
![Page 56: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
ii)CALCIUM PHOSPHATE PASTES –Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP)Blocks tubules & reduces permeability by 85%
Can also be used to remineralize incipient enamel caries
Commercially available product:GC Tooth Mousse contains ACP & caesin phosphopeptide
![Page 57: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
iii)SILVER NITRATE –It reduces fluid movement by
precipitating protein or silver chloride within the dentinal tubules.
But it stains dentin and is also damaging to the pulp and gingiva.
Not used anymore
![Page 58: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
iv)STRONTIUM CHLORIDE –SrCl2 was the first tubule blocking agent to be
introduced into toothpastes
3 MOA :
a)nerve depolarization
b)because it is chemically similar to calcium it can replace lost calcium in hydroxyapatite lattice
c)deposit a layer of fine particles which can occlude the tubules
Commercially available – Sensodyne

V)FLUORIDES –Agents like sodium fluoride , stannous
fluoride or acidulated phosphate fluoride may be used for few minutes as mouthrinse, toothpaste or as topical application over exposed dentin.
Act by forming fluoroapatite within tubules which blocks fluid movement within dentin.
![Page 60: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
STANNOUS FLUORIDEResearch has shown Stannous fluoride to be
effective against dentinal hypersensitivity – 2 to 4 weeks – 0.4% gel
MOA– tin rich surface deposit (in vitro) – nearly complete surface coverage and occlusion of tubules
Topical stannous fluoride – reduces sensitivity on exposed cervical root surfaces
Patricia A. Walters - J Contemp Dent Prac, May 15, 2005, Vol 6, No 2, 107-117
![Page 61: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Limitation – potential for temporary extrinsic tooth staining associated with long-term use
Open tubules following treatment After use of SnF2 dentrifice
with non-sensitivity fluoride toothpaste
![Page 62: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
SODIUM FLUORIDEIncrease in resistance of dentin to acid
decalcification as well as precipitations in exposed dentinal tubules
MOA– precipitated fluoride compounds mechanically blocking exposed dentinal tubules or fluoride within tubules blocking transmission of stimuli
![Page 63: Liya dentinehypersensitivity](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/55a749c81a28ab6b248b45ae/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
vi)IONOTOPHORESIS -Electrical potential is used to transfer the ions
into the body for therapeutic purposes
METHOD :-Place a negative electrode on the dentin &
