Indications and limitations for non-invasive desensitization treatment for DHS

Indications for desensitization treatment for DHS

○ No visually detectable defects of dental hard tissue

○ Shallow or minimum hard tissue defect, where normal dental tissue has to be removed if restoration is provided.

○ Hard tissue defect is esthetically acceptable and no predisposing factors exist for continued loss of dental tissues.

○ Minimum gingiva recession and no predisposing factors exist for continued loss of gingiva and dental tissues.

○ No other contraindications for desensitization treatment

Risks and limitations for desensitization treatment

○ Existence of predisposing factors for continued hard tissue lose

○ Existence of predisposing factors for continued gingiva recession

○ Existence of microfacture, caries and other dental problems present with similar symptoms of DHS
