Abstract

Dentin hypersensitivity is one of the most commonly occurring clinical dental conditions, and up to 69% of the UK population has reported experiencing some form of tooth sensitivity. Although the etiology of DH is multi-factorial and not yet fully understood, it is attributed to the general increase in exposed root surfaces of the teeth from periodontal disease, toothbrush abrasion or cyclic loading fatigue of the thin enamel near the cemento-enamel junction.
