Document Language : English 
Abstract : Background: Root- dentine hypersensitivity is one of the most common symptomatic conditions which cause complaints of discomfort in patients. Management of root-dentine hypersensitivity should be based on a correct diagnosis of the condition to differentiate it from the other clinical conditions that are similar in their presenting features as well as on the severity of the condition. Root-dentine hypersensitivity has long been a problem in dentistry and it can occurre as a sequale of non-surgical periodontal therapy. The goal of treatment of root-dentine hypersensitivity ideally should be the restoration of the original impermeability of the dentinal tubules and the relief of rootdentine hypersensitivity experienced by the patient or at least to reduce the level of discomfort to enable the patient’s quality of life to be maintained. Aims: The purposes of this study were the clinical and scanning electron microscopic evaluation of a unique dual-action dentine desensitizer (D/Sense Crystal) ** for management of root-dentine hypersensitivity following non-surgical periodontal treatment. Results: The results of this study showed that D/Sense Crystal has a significant and rapid clinical effect in reducing the root-dentine hypersensitivity. At the same time no side effects, were recorded, neither at teeth level, nor at soft tissue level. Conclusion: It was concluded that desensitizing of hypersensitive dentine with D/Sense Crystal is effective and the maintenance of the positive result was more prolonged.
