Dr. Mithra N. Hegde, Dr Sandeep Thakur
Abstract :
<p>&nbsp;The aim of present study was to investigate the intra oral distribution of Dentin hypersensitivity DH) &amp; its relationship with age, sex, common causes, aggravating factors and patient&rsquo;s awareness about dentine hypersensitivity of urban and rural patients of South Kanara population. The study was designed as a survey based on questionnaire and a total of 2000 patients were randomly selected, who reported at the A.B. Shetty dental hospital and rural centers. On analysis of data, the prevalence of dentin hypersensitivity was 27.9%. Cold was the most common (60.9%) aggravating factor and the most common cause was gingival recession (56.8%), followed by non carious lesions (18%) with a strong predilection for middle aged females. It was also noted that general population has limited awareness about the causes, symptoms and treatment modalities of dentin hypersensitivity in South Kanara population. So, public awareness for dentin hypersensitivity should be undertaken.</p>
