The prevalence, distribution and possible causal factors of cervical dentine hypersensitivity were studied in a population from a Marine Dental Clinic in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A total of 635 patients were examined for the presence of cervical dentine hypersensitivity by means of a questionnaire and intraoral tests (air and probe stimuli). There were 157 patients (25%) reporting to have hypersensitive teeth, but only 108 patients (17%) were diagnosed as having cervical dentine hypersensitivity. The prevalence of hypersensitivity was higher among females than males, but this difference was not statistically significant. Most females with hypersensitivity were aged 20-49 and most males were aged 40-59. Incisors and premolars had the highest prevalence of dentine hypersensitivity to air and probe stimuli, while molars had the lowest. The presence and history of dentine hypersensitivity were positively correlated with previous exposure to periodontal treatment. Only a few of the patients who claimed to have dentine hypersensitivity had tried treatment with desensitizing toothpastes or sought professional help.
