Treatment Modalities and Procedures
摘要
There is evidence that patients might not know that dentine hypersensitivity (DH) is a preventable and treatable condition and might not seek professional assistance (Gillam et al. 2013; Exarchou et al. 2019; Mosquim et al. 2023). Therefore, it is essential for the clinician to identify possible aetiological factors for the disease and educate the patients regarding hygiene, dietary, and parafunctional deleterious habits that have been associated with DH development and/or aggravation over time (Canadian Advisory Board on Dentin Hypersensitivity 2003; Gillam et al. 2013) (see also Chaps. 4 and 8 ).
