This paper evaluates the use and clinical significance of various chemotherapeutic agents and delivery systems for dentinal hypersensitivity. Agents applied by the dentist as well as those applied by the patient are included. The most effective topical agents have been: strontium chloride, potassium nitrate, sodium citrate. Iontophoresis offers promise for the treatment of sensitive surfaces which do not respond to topically applied agents.
