Conference summary
Dentin hypersensitivity (HD) is a common irritating condition, for our patients, and affects 11.5% of the world’s population, with increasing prevalence rates, impacting the quality of life of both patients.
It is referred to as a transient acute pain, coming from exposed dentin after external stimulation by thermal, electrical, mechanical, thermal, chemical or osmotic stimuli, or evaporation.
Considering its prevalence, irritating nature and high risk of diagnostic errors, which can lead to incorrect diagnosis, it will be pertinent to address the adverse effects of medical-dentary treatments, which arise day by day. Your diagnosis is made, as well, by excluding other possible sources of pain and dental defects.
Causes of adverse effects caused by dental treatments will be addressed in relation to the diagnosis of HD and integrated therapeutic strategies aimed at a better understanding of the burden of HD.
The factors associated with this condition, we can assist in the planning of resources to reduce/prevent any discomfort due to this condition and assist the Dental Medicine teams, in the joint decision-making process.
