Abstract

A cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted to determine the behavior of
dentinal sensitivity in patients of three Stomatology Clinics from "10 de Octubre"
municipality. Study variable were: age, sex, predisposing factors, pain degree,
groups of examined teeth and the type of periodontal retraction present. There
were 150 patients with 190 teeth involved by dentinal sensitivity. Female sex was
the more affected one, as well as the younger age groups. We found that 3 degree
pain prevailed and that it was more related to type III periodontal recession. The
more frequent cause of dentinal sensitivity was the dental brushing.
