Sažetak

This work presents review on etiology o f dentinal hypersensitivity and mechanisms o f dentin desensitization. The main theories ondentin sensitivity are discussed in details. Particularity are stressed
hydrodynamic and transducer theories. Two main approaches to the dentin desensitization by tubule occlusion and blocking pulpal nerve activity by altering the sensory nerves excitability are presented. The aim of dentin desensitization is to apply various agents that occlude dentinal tubules and so decrease dentin sensitivity or to apply agents that reduce nerve excitability. Between many different agents in use the most wide use and best results in decreasing dentin sensitivity have topical application of oxalate salts and application of unfilled resins. Different toothpaste with strontium chloride or potassium nitrate as active ingredients have been commonly used as very efective desensitizing agents.
