Dentine hypersensitivity (DH) is a common finding with different prevalence rate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of DH and associated risk factors.
MATERIALS & METHODS: This cross-sectional survey was done among patients coming to dental hospital. The diagnosis of DH was made as the result of both clinical examination and patient's response. A self-administered structured questionnaire was used to know demography profile, self-reported DH, the activating factors, preventive measures and frequency. Descriptive statistics were obtained and frequency distribution was calculated using Chi square t test at p value <0.05.
The total population compromised of 960 patients including 528 males and 432 females. The prevalence of dentine hypersensitivity in this sample was 42.5% and more common among male population (60.8%) and the peak age was between 30 to 39 years (39.2%). Lower anteriors were commonly involved (35.8%) and cold drinks (25.8%) are the main aggravating factor. 6.5% experience it all the time but still some do not take preventive measures.
There is high prevalence rate of DH and mainly among males. Some of the patients had it all the time but still they do not want to control the problem.

牙本质敏感症(DH)很常见,患病率各异。本研究旨在评估DH的患病率及相关危险因素。
对前来牙科医院的患者进行了这项横断面调查。DH的诊断基于临床检查和患者的反应。使用一份自行填写的结构化问卷来了解人口统计学资料、自我报告的DH、激发因素、预防措施及频率。获得描述性统计数据,并使用卡方检验在p值<0.05时计算频率分布。
总共有960名患者,其中男性528名,女性432名。该样本中牙本质敏感症的患病率为42.5%,在男性人群中更为常见(60.8%),发病高峰年龄在30至39岁之间(39.2%)。下前牙区最常受累(35.8%),冷饮(25.8%)是主要的加重因素。6.5%的患者一直有这种症状,但仍有一些人未采取预防措施。
DH的患病率很高,主要发生在男性中。一些患者一直有这种症状,但他们仍不想控制这个问题。如何引用本文:Rane P, Pujari S, Patel P, Gandhewar M, Madria K, Dhume S. 评估患者中牙本质敏感症患病率的流行病学研究。《国际口腔健康杂志》2013;5(5):15 - 9。
