FIRST THEORY TO BE
PUT FORWARD
NERVE FIBERS

DENTINAL TUBULES
INTIATE IMPULSES
WHEN THEY ARE
INJURED AND CAUSES
DENTINAL
HYPERSENSITIVITY.
DIRECT INNERVATION THEORY
WHENEVER DENTIN IS
EXPOSED AND STIMULATED BY
TACTILE,CHEMICAL,THERMAL
OR OSMOTIC STIMULI THERE
IS RAPID MOVEMENT OF FLUID
THROUGH TUBULES.
THIS CAUSES:
DIRECT STIMULATION OF
LOW THRESHOLD A- DELTA
NERVE FIBERS
INDIRECT STIMULATION OF
A-DELTA NERVE FIBERS IN
PULP BY DISPLACING
ODONTOBLASTIC CELL
BODIES.
MECHANISM
DIAGNOSIS
1. FRACTURED RESTORATIONS
2. FRACTURED ENAMEL EXPOSING
DENTIN
3. DENTAL CARIES
4. POST RESTORATION SENSITIVITY
5. CRACKED TOOTH SYNDROME
6. BLEACHING SENSITIVITY
PREVENTION
C)PLACEMENT OF RESTORATIONS
GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS
COMPOSITE RESINS
D)USE OF LASERS
CO2 LASER
Nd:YAG,Er:YAG LASER
He:Ne LASER
2. DESENSITIZING BY BLOCKING PULPAL SENSORY
NERVES
A)POTASSIUM NITRATE TOOTHPASTE
CALCIUM HYDROXIDE
IT INCREASES THE
REMINERALISATION OF THE
EXPOSED DENTIN THUS
REDUCING DENTIN PERMIABILITY
DISADVANTAGE:IT CAUSES
TEMPORARY OCCLUSION OF
TUBULES
CALCIUM PHOSPHATE PASTE
