Abordagem terapêutica da hipersensibildade decorrente de lesões cervicais não cariosas: revisão de literatura.

Abstract

Non-carious cervical lesions are directly related to the appearance of dentin hypersensitivity that occurs when the dentin structure is exposed in the oral environment. This condition was generally observed in older people, however new studies have shown data that young people have been affected by this pathology. Dentin hypersensitivity is a pathology characterized by acute pain of short duration and its prevalence has increased significantly in the Brazilian population, with females being the most affected. This paper aims to perform a literature review on the therapeutic approaches to dentin hypersensitivity caused by non-carious cervical lesions. In view of the treatment approaches exposed, they were effective in controlling and decreasing the painful symptoms caused by this clinical condition, thus providing a positive response in the patient's quality of life. In addition, a correct diagnosis and the identification of the etiological factors are of utmost importance so that they can be removed / controlled, thus obtaining a successful treatment.
