“…In the present study, the Brough technique of using cold graded water enabled the investigator to confine the stimulus to the tooth being tested, was reproducible, inexpensive and could stimulate the irritation of a cold stimulus within a realistic temperature range. [11] As the thermal stimulus was applied, the temperature at which sensitivity was elicited was noted using the pain scoring system of Brough et al . [11] According to the system the thermal stimulus either will or will not elicit a sensitive response (Yes/No).…”

“…[11] As the thermal stimulus was applied, the temperature at which sensitivity was elicited was noted using the pain scoring system of Brough et al . [11] According to the system the thermal stimulus either will or will not elicit a sensitive response (Yes/No). They found that by asking the participant simply to report that the tooth was or was not painful eliminated the requirement that the patient classify the pain response e.g., mild, moderate, severe or very severe.…”

“…was used to quantify the patient's baseline response to a cold stimulus. [11] Each tooth included in the study was isolated with a rubber dam without a clamp, using finger adaptation only. The water temperatures used in this study were 20°C, 10°C and 0°C with a variance of +l°C for each temperature interval.…”

Aim:The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the efficacy of saturated ethanolic solution of Propolis for the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity.Materials and Methods:Ten patients aged 20-40 years with 156 hypersensitive teeth were selected for a 3-month study. Each patient was subjected to treatment with saturated ethanolic solution of Propolis, 5% potassium nitrate and distilled water. The patients were recalled at seventh day, 2 weeks and 4 weeks for the application of the agent and re-evaluation. The final re-evaluation of the patients was done after 3 months from the first application. The responses of the patients to the test temperatures were converted to a ranking and data was statistically analyzed. A statistical analysis was done using ANOVA and Bonferroni test and Tukey HSD test for multicomparison.Results:The results between the Propolis group and the potassium nitrate group showed no significant difference in the immediate post-treatment period; however, the results were significant at the end of first week and second week. At 4 weeks and 3 months period, a comparison between the groups again showed no significant difference.Conclusion:It was concluded that Propolis was more effective than 5% potassium nitrate in relieving dentinal hypersensitivity and had an immediate and sustained effect.

“…Los estímulos que desencadenan principalmente el dolor son estímulos térmicos como el aire, frío y calor; estímulos químicos como alimentos dulces, ácidos y cítricos; y estímulos mecánicos como el cepillado dental, hábitos orales, instrumentos dentales, retenedores de dentaduras parciales removibles y el blanqueamiento dental (17,18). Estos estímulos térmi-cos son incitadores hidrodinámicos eficaces por las diferencias en los coeficientes de expansión o contracción de los líquidos pulpodentinarios y sus receptáculos en el esmalte y dentina, es decir, la aplicación de frío produce una contracción volumétrica más rápida del líquido en el túbulo dentinal que la ocurrida en la dentina.…”

Esta diferencia de cambios volumétricos ocasiona presiones intrapulpares negativas y tal vez intradentales que desplazan los mecanorreceptores y producen dolor (17,18). El calentamiento tiene un efecto contrario, pero causa el mismo resultado.…”

Ardila Medina CM Hipersensibilidad dentinal: Una revisión de su etiología, patogénesis y tratamiento AVANCES EN ODONTOESTOMATOLOGÍA/137 RESUMENLa hipersensibilidad dentinal se define como un dolor que surge desde la dentina expuesta y representa diferentes entidades clínicas. La presentación de casos en personas jóvenes se está incrementando particularmente al parecer debido a dietas acidogénicas, malos hábitos, técnicas de cepillado deficientes y el uso indiscriminado de productos de blanqueamiento dental. La exposición dentinal se puede deber a procesos, tanto físicos como químicos, que conducen a la pérdida ya sea del esmalte y el cemento o del tejido gingival. Los factores causales rara vez actúan aisladamente e incluyen erosión, atrición, abrasión, bruxismo, blanqueamiento, medicación, envejecimiento, condiciones genéticas, recesión gingival y enfermedad periodontal. Existe un amplio rango de productos disponibles para el tratamiento con el fin de ocluir los túbulos dentinales o bloquear la transmisión neural desde la pulpa. La mayoría de opciones son reversibles y usan agentes químicos tales como fluoruros, oxalato, sales de estroncio o potasio o agentes adhesivo dentinarios. Las opciones no reversibles deben ser empleadas solamente después de intentar varias veces las reversibles. Esto usualmente incluye la colocación de restauraciones permanentes, ajustes oclusales o cirugía periodontal. El diagnóstico adecuado, las estrategias de manejo y la educación del paciente son cruciales para el manejo de cualquier intervención.Palabras clave: Hipersensibilidad dentinaria, tratamientos desensibilizantes. SUMMARYDentine hypersensitivity is defined as pain arising from exposed dentine and represents a distinct clinical entity. Reported cases are increasing particularly among the younger age groups and are thought to be due to acidogenic diets, destructive habits, poor tooth brushing techniques, and the increased use of tooth whitening products. Dentine exposure may be due to a number of processes, both physical and chemical, that lead to either loss of enamel/ cementum or loss of gingival tissue. These causative factors seldom act in isolation and include erosion, abrasion, attrition, abfraction, bruxing, bleaching, medication, ageing, genetic conditions, gingival recession, and periodontal disease. There are diverse range of treatment products available, which aim at either occluding the dentinal tubules or blocking the neural transmission from the pulp. Most reversible options make use of chemical agents such as fluorides, oxalate, strontium or potassium salts, or dentinebonding agents. Non-reversible options should only be employed after one or more of the reversible options have been attempted. These usually involve placement of permanent restorations, occlusal adjustments or periodontal flap surgery. Careful diagnosis, patient counseling and management strategies are crucial to the success of any intervention.
