This article reviews dentin sensitivity from a mechanistic perspective beginning with short treatments of pulpal innervation, the hydrodynamic considerations of dentin, and how various stimuli may cause pain. Speculation is raised about the contribution of bacteria and their products on dentin sensitivity and how dentin might become truly hypersensitive, especially following periodontal therapy. Wherever possible, the clinical considerations of basic research is stressed.
本文从机制角度综述牙本质敏感，首先简要介绍牙髓神经支配、牙本质的流体动力学考量以及各种刺激如何引发疼痛。文中还探讨了细菌及其产物对牙本质敏感的影响，以及牙本质如何变得真正敏感，尤其是在牙周治疗之后。文中尽可能强调基础研究的临床意义。
