“…In addition, Schiff Sensitivity Scale was chosen currently based on its ability to assess the degree of dentinal hypersensitivity pain according to the patient stimulus reaction as reported by Fu Y et al 29 . This is congruent with Rocha CO et al 30 , who found that, the Schiff sensitivity scale showed good results using tactile stimulus. The Schiff sensitivity scale was filled out by the operator to avoid interpretation and filling biases by the patient.…”

“…The majority of researchers used cold air stimulation from a triple air dental syringe or scratching the tooth with a dental probe to provoke the DH associated pain. The patient's response to the presenting stimulus has been the primary way for evaluation because of the ability to quantify the condition using a pain rating scale 10,11,12 .…”

Background/Aim. Dentine hypersensitivity (DH) is a commonly encountered clinical problem, characterized by short, sharp pain arising from exposed dentine. The aim of this study was to estimate the frequency of cervical DH in an adult population sample of city of Pancevo, Serbia, to evaluate correlation between DH and severity of cervical tooth wear, as well as to investigate the impact of certain etiological factors. Methods. The study included 394 subjects, who were clinically examined and interviewed about potential etiological factors using specially designed questionnaire. Presence of cervical DH was evaluated using cold air stimulation and Schiff ordinal scale. Severity of cervical tooth wear was evaluated using Basic Erosive Wear Examination-BEWE. Results were analyzed using chi-square tests and logistic regression at significance level of p?0.05. Results. The presence of cervical DH was recorded in 32.9% from total number of subjects. Chi-square analysis showed significant association between clinically elicited and questionnaire declared DH (p<0.001), but not with the presence of non-carious cervical lesions and the extent of cervical tooth wear. Cervical DH showed positive correlation with gender (p<0.001), frequent consumption of citrus fruits (p<0.001) and energy drinks (p=0.005). Oral hygiene and other factors were not significantly associated. Conclusion. The prevalence of cervical DH in the investigated sample was relatively high. DH was more prevalent among females and significantly associated with frequent consumption of citrus fruits and energy drinks.

“…VAS scale Magnitude estimation requires subjects to indicate the level of pain experienced along a continuum represented by a visual analog scale (VAS). At each evaluation, subjects recorded the sensitivity of each tooth to timed (5 s) applications of compressed air (from a three-way dental unit syringe at a distance of approximately 2 cm) and a cold stimulus (ice stick contacting the tooth surface) on the VAS [ 17 ].…”

Background: The definition of dental hypersensitivity is “pain derived from exposed dentin in response to chemical, thermal tactile or osmotic stimuli which cannot be explained as arising from any other dental defect or disease”. One of the treatments proposed is tubular occlusion. The aim of this in vivo split-mouth randomized clinical trial was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a in-office application of a fluoride varnish (Bifluorid 10) and a bonding resin (Futurabond U) in adults with dentin hypersensitivity. Material and methods: A total of 180 teeth were treated with Bifluorid 10 and 160 with Futurabond U. Outcome measurements were taken one or two weeks before treatment, at baseline at the application days, at 1 week and at 1–6 months after first treatment. Results: Both treatments reduced pain intensity. Bifluorid 10 and Futurabond U have similar efficacy in reducing SCHIFF-measured pain reduction, while Bifluorid 10 is significantly more efficient for VAS-measured pain reduction, mainly due to long-term pain reduction. Patient age has a significant negative influence on pain reduction, while the influence of patient gender and BEWE of the tooth is insignificant. Conclusions: Bifluorid 10 and Futurabond U are effective in the treatment of dental hypersensitivity. The RCT was registered at the US National Institutes of Health (ClinicalTrials.gov) #NCT04813848.
