A clinical study of patients with hypersensitive teeth.
Hypersensitive teeth have been a nemesis to patients in every dental practice. This clinical study was done to find a causal relationship of hypersensitive teeth and other organs of special senses, namely, sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. The analysis of the findings offers a basis for conclusion that dentition hypersensitivity and hypersensitivity of the special senses have a causal relationship. The dental clinician can provide the patient with an understanding and explanation of the cause(s) of hypersensitivity that will assist in a cooperative analysis of the symptoms and aid in the treatment to alleviate the pain.
