Abstract:
Dentine hypersensitivity is a long-standing problem in dentistry. The dentine exposure can occur by loss of enamel of by gingival recession. The current treatments tend to be temporary in their effect. Recent advances in biology of dentine and pulp offer a better understanding of the mechanism of action, etiological factors of dentine hypersensitivity and role of inflammatory reaction in development of dentine hypersensitivity. The new and more effective modes of management are also suggested to use for the future.
