INTRODUCTION Dentine hypersensitivity is characterized by acute, sharp pain arising from the exposed dentine, most commonly in response to thermal, tactile, or chemical stimuli, and which cannot be linked to any other pathological changes in the tooth or the environment. Therapy uses various impregnating agents in the form of solutions or gels and, in more recent times, laser. AIM The aim of ...

In recent years, scientists have developed various biomaterials to remineralize human teeth to treat dentine hypersensitivity. Poly(amido amine) (PAMAM) dendrimers have become a research focus in this field. It has been demonstrated that PAMAM is able to create precipitates both on the surface of and within the dentinal tubules, however, there is little information about its effect on reducing ...

Objectives: this study aims to find out any possible role of dentine hypersensitivity as a triggering factor for migraine in susceptible individuals. Methods: This prospective clinical interventional was done by enrolling 160 patients who were diagnosed having according guidelines ‘International Headache Society ‘Criteria Migraine, followed period 3 months and those 84 people showed definite sy...

BACKGROUND Dentine hypersensitivity (DH) is a common finding with different prevalence rate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of DH and associated risk factors. MATERIALS & METHODS This cross-sectional survey was done among patients coming to dental hospital. The diagnosis of DH was made as the result of both clinical examination and patient's response. A self-administered...

BACKGROUND The current investigation examined the determinants of oral health experiences associated with dentine hypersensitivity using prospective diary methodology. METHODS Staff and students from a large UK university who had self-diagnosed dentine hypersensitivity completed an online daily diary and text survey for 2 weeks recording their mood, oral health-related coping behaviours, copi...

BACKGROUND Dentine hypersensitivity (DH) affects people's quality of life (QoL). However changes in the internal meaning of QoL, known as Response shift (RS) may undermine longitudinal assessment of QoL. This study aimed to describe patterns of RS in people with DH using Classification and Regression Trees (CRT) and to explore the convergent validity of CRT with the then-test and ideals approac...
