Sažetak
Dentin hypersensitivity is a common and painful condition, wich can occur on different kinds of provocation factors. Dental hypersensitivitiy is characterized by short sharp pain arising from exposed dentine in response to stimuli typically thermal, evaporative, tactile, osmotic or chemical and wich cannot be ascribed to any other form of dental defect or pathology (Addy M, 2002). Until today this pathological condition is still unclear but should be deffered from dental caries, chipped teeth, fractured restorations, marginal leakage around restoration, palatogingival fissures and grooves. The only similarity to the dentin hypersensitivity is teeth sensitivity, wich follows the professional initial course of periodontal therapy. The frequency of dentin hypersensitivity varies from 3 - 57% (Verzak Ž et al, 1998, Ress JS 2000), while sensitivity in periodontal diseases could reach a higher percentage: 72-98% (Chabanski MB et al 1996). 60 randomly selected patients from our Clinic were included in the study. All patients were divided into 4 groups according to the grade of pathological periodontal condition. Dental hypersensitivity was investigated by tactile and by cold air/water provocation factors before and after initial periodontal treatment using ultrsound scaling. Pain was scored by 0 - 3 scoring system ( 0 - no pain, 1 - mild pain, 2 - moderate pain, 3 - severe pain). Teeth hypersensitivity was most pronounced if cold air was used as the provocative factor. Regardless of the sort of provocative factor the pain subsided gradually within one week. Ultrasound usage in periodontal treatment may cause teeth hypersensitivity. The hypersensitivity was provoked by mechanical od psysical provocative factors. The most painful sensation was related to cold air. The pain started early after treatment and lasted for a relatively short period of time.
