Dentine hypersensitivity affects 10-74% of people across different population groups, and it involves mostly canine and premolars. It is characterized by a brief, sharp pain when the dentine is exposed to various stimuli such as chemical, thermal, evaporative or osmotic stimuli. Often, this pain is not associated with any other pathophysiological condition of tooth and buccal cavity. The loss of enamel on the tooth crown and gum recession may expose the tooth. As a result, root cementum is lost causing dentine hypersensitivity. The exact mechanism of dentine hypersensitivity is still under investigation. However, hydrodynamic theory has been widely accepted as underlying mechanism for dentine hypersensitivity. Dentine hypersensitivity is often ignored by patients as well as dentists. Moreover, high prevalence of the condition, underdiagnosis and widespread availability of noninvasive, efficacious and inexpensive preventive treatment warrant a need for systematic guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of dentine hypersensitivity. Here, the recommendations of an expert panel of six dentists regarding the diagnosis and management of dentine hypersensitivity during Indian Dental Consensus Convention, 2014 have been presented.
