A condition where stimulus causes sharp pain in exposed dentine.

Dentine hypersensitivity pain is short, sharp, and resolves quickly.

A tooth that is exposed or lacks protective enamel, making it sensitive.

Stimulus on a susceptible tooth leads to quick pain sensation.

Involves providing preventative treatments and advice to patients with hypersensitivity.

The hard outer layer of a tooth that protects it.

The layer beneath enamel, softer than enamel and contains tubules.

The innermost part of a tooth containing nerves and blood vessels.

Theory explaining tooth pain through fluid movement in dentinal tubules.

Movement of fluid from high to low concentration through a membrane.

Factors like thermal, chemical, and mechanical that can cause dentin pain.

Factors such as gum recession, brushing, and tooth surface loss leading to sensitivity.

The process of blocking dentinal tubules to reduce sensitivity.

Substances that provide short-term relief by occluding tubules.

A protein that helps chemical ions adhere to teeth surfaces.

A chemical that precipitates in acidic environments to occlude tubules.

A fluoride compound that blocks dentinal tubules to alleviate sensitivity.

A compound in toothpaste that raises potassium levels to depolarize nerves.

Fluoride helps in forming precipitates that obstruct dentinal tubules.

Spitting allows chemicals to stay in contact with teeth for longer.

Assessment performed to evaluate the source of dental pain, focusing on morphology and dentine exposure.

Gathering patient history through questions to identify sensitive areas and triggers for pain.

The exposure of dentine due to enamel loss, making it sensitive to external stimuli.

The action of protecting dentinal tubules from external stimuli to reduce sensitivity.

Strategies patients can implement at home to manage dentine hypersensitivity, including brushing techniques.

The processes by which dental products reduce sensitivity, including occlusion of tubules.

Substances like calcium phosphosilicate and fluoride used to treat dentine hypersensitivity.
