The study purposed to evaluate the basic concepts of tooth sensitivity, the
etiology of cervical dentin hypersensitivity and costs of tooth whitening. The
etiology and treatment of cervical dentin hypersensitivity are described. Total
of 120 patients (50 men and 70 women aged 20-45) have been interviewed. Dentin
hypersensitivity appeared more prevalent than many dentists believe. It's the
most frequent side effect associated with vital bleaching procedures.
Desensitizing dentifrices provide a convenient, inexpensive, and effective first
line of defense for treating cervical dentin hypersensitivity.
