“…Using a different OHRQoL measure, specific for DH, the dentine hypersensitivity experience questionnaire (DHEQ). Machuca et al [64] assessed the impact of DH on QoL in a group of patients, arriving at the same result as the earlier studies; that DH significantly impacts on QoL.…”

Dentine hypersensitivity remains an enigma. Although, it is known to usually present with sharp, short pain caused by one or more external stimuli, it is often inadequately understood. Controversies therefore abound concerning the appropriate terminology for the condition, variations in prevalence, and what is most important to the patients suffering from the condition -a treatment that provides immediate relief with long lasting effect. Available interventions using desensitizing agents provide only temporary relief. The interest of dental practitioners and researchers in dentine hypersensitivity remains very high as it is still a common complaint among patients globally. The myriad array of treatments available and claims of efficacy has not lessened the clinician's dilemma. As a guide and update for clinicians, the aim of this paper is to review the published literature and provide current opinion on the prevalence, aetiology, mechanism, clinical features, treatment as well as the concept of oral health related quality of life among patients with dentine hypersensitivity. A manual and PubMed literature search was conducted using the keywords: dentine hypersensitivity, tooth sensitivity, cervical dentine hypersensitivity, root dentine hypersensitivity in combination with the words prevalence, epidemiology, diagnosis, mechanism, aetiology, clinical features, treatment, oral health or quality of life. The recently developed treatment agents appear promising but will require more randomized clinical trials. Dentine hypersensitivity remains a common condition with significant effect on daily life. The incorporation of a measure of oral health related quality of life is recommended as one of the outcome measures for new treatment modalities.

“…In the present study, Cronbach's alpha for DHEQ-15 total scores was higher than original English version [16]. One potential explanation for this particular finding could be that the Cronbach's coefficient alpha is partly affected by sample size.…”

“…The DHEQ-15 is an English-language OHRQoL instrument, developed by the University of Sheffield, UK [16]. It consists of 15 items with coded responses on 7-point Likert scales: 1 = 'strongly disagree,' 2 = 'disagree,' 3 = 'agree a little,' 4 = 'neither agree nor disagree,' 5 = 'disagree a little,' 6 = 'disagree,' and 7 = 'strongly disagree.'…”

“…Taking these issues into consideration, Machuca and colleagues recently developed the short form of the Dentine Hypersensitivity Experience Questionnaire (DHEQ-15) [16]. The DHEQ-15 also displays excellent psychometric properties and has been recommended to identify people with DH or to evaluate treatments for the condition [16]. China has the largest population in the world, and the DHEQ-15 has not been validated in Chinese patients.…”

“…Whilst measures with more items provide more precise and reliable data for use in research, they can take a long time to administer and complete, making their clinical application more burdensome for clinicians, researchers, and participants [16]. Taking these issues into consideration, Machuca and colleagues recently developed the short form of the Dentine Hypersensitivity Experience Questionnaire (DHEQ-15) [16]. The DHEQ-15 also displays excellent psychometric properties and has been recommended to identify people with DH or to evaluate treatments for the condition [16].…”
