Cervical dentin hypersensitivity affects a large proportion of the adult population. This Critical Appraisal reviews an article about the mechanism of dentin hypersensitivity and a series of articles on a novel method for assessing cervical hypersensitivity. The final review presents some interesting new information on a possible relationship between cervical dentin hypersensitivity and occlusal microtrauma.
