Welcome to Decoding Dentine Discussions! The podcast dedicated to helping dental professionals better understand, diagnose, and manage Dentine Hypersensitivity (DH), one of the most common yet often misunderstood conditions in dental practice.

Team Effort: The Multidisciplinary Approach to Dentine Hypersensitivity
Episode guests:
- Prof. Samira Osailan, KSA

Hosted by Dr. Shaista Siddiqui, UAE
Abstract:
This episode highlights the importance of undergraduate dental education in diagnosing and managing dentine hypersensitivity (DH). Experts Dr. Aslan and Dr. Samira stress that while DH is common, many dental graduates lack confidence in treating it. They advocate for comprehensive DH training from years 3 to 5, using interactive and case-based learning.
Best practices for DH management include prevention through oral hygiene education, anti-hypersensitivity toothpastes, and addressing lifestyle factors like diet and teeth clenching. The episode underscores the need for a multidisciplinary approach to improve patient outcomes and equip dental students with the skills to effectively manage DH.
