Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is one of the most frequently happened chronic discomforts and a challenging condition to manage in dental practice. It presents as a short sharp pain that arises from the exposed dentin in re sponse to thermal, tactile, osmotic, chemical, or evaporative stimuli. This condition impacts oral health-related quality of life, producing significant impairment on patients’ daily life such as speaking, eating, drinking, and toothbrushing. The prevalence of DH varies 4~57 %. The prevalence of DH has been reported higher incidence ranging from 60 to 98% in patients with periodontitis. Generally, it appears that the incidence of DH in most populations ranges from 10~30 %. Although there are a large number of techniques and therapeutic alternatives available in the literature to relieve DH, generally speaking, professionals are confused about the etiology and diagnosis of DH, resulting in the lack of confidence to approach this pathological process effectively. Under standing the DH's mechanism, management strategy, and the choice of materials influence the effectiveness and durability of the treatment of the DH. In this article, the various considerations in the management of DH will be reviewed
