Abstract

The objective of this study was to compare the prevalence, severity and distribution of CDS in patients attending general dental clinics (GDC) and periodontal specialty clinics (PSC) and to correlate them to possible causal factors. 2 groups of patients aged 20-60 years recruited from GDC (144) and PSC (151) were evaluated for CDS by means of a questionnaire and intraoral clinical examinations. Furthermore, gingival recession and plaque scores were recorded at the same visit. The results showed that patients referred to PSC had a significantly higher prevalence of CDS (60.3%) than those examined at GDC (42.4%) (p<0.001). Also, mean plaque scores of PSC patients (1.87 +/- 0.88) was found to be significantly higher than that of GDC (1.44 +/- 0.7) (p<0.01). The occurrence and extent of gingival recession associated with hypersensitive teeth was significantly higher in PSC than GDC patients (p<0.01), with a 5% incidence of severe recession (5 mm) in PSC only. The association of periodontal disease and periodontal treatment to the high prevalence of CDS and gingival recession in PSC patients would suggest their role in predisposition to hypersensitivity. The distribution of CDS in tooth types revealed that upper molars and lower ant...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
