Dentin Hypersentivity: A Literature Review

Dentine hypersensitivity (DHS) is a widespread painful dental problem that is characterized by short sharp pain arising from exposed dentin in response to several different stimuli. This accepted definition, indicates the need to consider a differential diagnosis to rule out other causes of dental pain before the diagnosis of dentin hypersensitivity is made. The management strategy of this dental problem required a good understanding of the complexity of the condition and the variety of the treatment options. The aim of this review is to inform practitioners about dentin hypersensitivity, to provide a brief overview of the diagnosis, etiology and clinical management of dentin hypersensitivity

GIC Restoration of Cervically Abraded Teeth

In current times, dental abrasion has become a common pathologic condition. It is most commonly seen at the cervical necks of teeth, but can occur in any area, even inter-dentally from vigorous and incorrect use of dental floss. Clinically, at the beginning it is small horizontal groove near the cemento-enamel junction; However, then the walls form a wedge with polished, glassy surfaces and tactile sensitivity. The treatment approach for cervical abrasion must not be based only on restorative procedures since a variety of causative and aggravating factors are related to their formation. The current article discusses a treatment protocol and techniques for the restoration of non-carious Class V lesions and presents a clinical case in which restoration is achieved with the conventional Glass Ionomer Cement

Recommendations for Managing Endodontic Emergencies During Coronavirus Disease 2019 Outbreak: A Review

The management of endodontic emergencies has been particularly challenging during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak because of the possible generation of airborne particles and aerosols. The aim of this report was to contribute to the practice of endodontics by proposing a general protocol for the management of emergencies showing the rationale for remote diagnosis, clinical procedures, and the use of personal protective equipment and barriers at the dental office during the COVID-19 outbreak. A review of the literature was conducted up to May 2020 on relevant institutional sites, aiming to retrieve the best updated evidence. The reporting considered the Reporting Tool for Practice Guidelines in Health Care statement. Recommendations from Cochrane Oral Health, the American Dental Association, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were included along with the American Association of Endodontists resources and scientific articles that addressed the issue. According to this article the proposed protocol could contribute to the management of endodontic emergencies at the dental office during the COVID-19 outbreak
