Book excerpt: “Dentine Hypersensitivity”: Etiology, Diagnosis & Clinical Management with recently developed Treatment Agents. A Comprehensive Review. Dentine hypersensitivity (DHS) is a wide spread painful dental problem that is characterized by short sharp pain arising from exposed dentin in response to several different stimuli. This accepted definition, indicates the need to consider a differential diagnosis to rule out other causes of dental pain before the diagnosis of dentin hypersensitivity is made. The management strategy of this dental problem required a good understanding of the complexity of the condition and the variety of the treatment options. An attempt has been made in this Booklet to review the published literature and provide current opinion on the prevalence, etiology, mechanism, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment as well as the concept of oral health related quality of life among patients with dentine hypersensitivity, using PubMed to find relevant literature published up to date. …..
