Popis:	Dentinal hypersensitivity has been defined as a short, sharp pain arising from exposed dentin as a result of various stimuli such as heat, cold, chemical or osmotic, that cannot be ascribed to any other pathology. Although dentin hypersensitivity is a common clinical condition and is generally reported by the patient after experiencing a sharp, short pain caused by one of several different external stimuli, it is often inadequately understood. The purpose of this review is to discuss different available diagnostic approaches and assessment methods used, in order to suggest a basis to diagnose, monitor, and measure these challenging painful conditions related to dentin hypersensitivity. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of tactile test in diagnosing dentinal hypersensitivity compared to other diagnostic tests. Conclusion: Tactile test with Yeaple probe shows more percentage reduction in dentin hypersensitvity when compared to other diagnostic tests. Tactile testing is recommended as a better tool in diagnosing dentin hypersensitivity and in comparing efficacy of various agents in treatment of dentin hypersensitivity.
