Abstract EN
Seventy five patients of 500 (15 %) showed hypersensitive teeth (40 male + 35 female).
A total of 330 teeth were found to be sensitive.
Hypersensitivity was observed in 16 ys of age and more with the highest incidence between 26-35 ys.
The intraoral distribution showed characteristic pattern with half of hypersensitive teeth are on the upper and lower premolars.
The lower molars were the less affected teeth.
Correlation with other factors like root exposure and cervical abrasion suggests the occurrence of hypersensitive teeth and to be enhanced by improper oral hygiene habits.
