Association Between Etiological Factors and Dentin Hypersensitivity: A Cross-Sectional Study in Turkey

Objective: This study purposed to estimate the prevalence of DH and how effective etiological factors are in development Turkey.
 Methods: Demographic features, hygiene habits, bruxism, beverage parafunctional smoking, other medical problems were asked. Air was blasted teeth via air-water syringe for 3 seconds. The Visual Analogue Scale used measure sensitivity, data recorded 0-100 mm range, 5 higher considered DH. attrition, abrasion, erosion, abfraction per dental type (Incisal OR Canine Premolar Molar) recorded. same procedure applied abnormal tooth position gingival recession.
 Results: A total 4476 236 individuals evaluated. Significantly frequency observed females (p= .034), 40- 55 age range .009), non-smokers .016). Those who brushed their three times a day or more (p< .001), preferred horizontal technique .017), toothbrushes with hard bristle .001) exhibited frequency. There no significant difference regarding acidic consumption, vomiting, reflux (p> .05).
 Conclusion: is multi-etiological symptom affected by demographic attributes, hygiene, habits. Clinicians should painstakingly distinguish source gain long-term success treatment, which depends on many factors.
