Dentin Hypersensitivity

5. plug/block and occlude dentin tubules
7. short, sharp pain with cold temperature
10. frequent, long-term aggressive use of the toothbrush and/or other oral hygiene devices
11. physical stimuli applied to exposed dentin will cause fluid movement within the dentinal tubules

1. stimuli that elicit pain reaction
2. do you currently experience tooth sensitivity?
3. covered by enamel on the crown and by cementum on the root
4. parafunctional habit such as bruxism expose dentin surfaces
6. have an effect on the duration and severity of dentin hypersensitivity
8. nitrate product to reduce nerve excitability by blocking repolarization of nerve endings
9. that create exposed dentin tubules include acidic foods and drink, thin gingival tissue, improper brushing technique, anatomical architecture of alveolar bone
