Dentinal hypersensitivity is a common clinical condition usually associated with exposed dentinal surfaces. It can affect patients of any age group. This book concisely reviews the patho-physiology, mechanism and clinical management of the DH. An often neglected phase of clinical management of DH is the identification and treatment of the causative factors of DH. By removing the etiological factors, the condition can be even prevented from occurring or recurring. There are various treatment modalities available which can be used at home or may be professionally applied. The "at home" desensitizing agents include toothpastes, mouthwashes or chewing gums and they act by either occluding the dentinal tubules or blocking the neural transmission. This book also discusses the recent treatment options like bioglass, Portland cement, lasers and casein phosphopeptide
