Summary:

       The history of treatment of dentin hypersensitivity described as sensitiveness of uncovered dentin to external stimuli is long and reach. Initial treatment of toothache was empiric and based on magical and religious habits. Rational methods in the treatment of sensitive dentin could be developed only after the understanding of dentin morfology and physiology of dentinal pain in the 19th century. The work summarizes the most frequently used methods in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity refered in stomatological literature during the last 150 years. The list of authors that significantly contributed to the development of knowledge in the field of dentin hypersensitivity and its treatment is also included.

        Key words: dentin hypersensitivity – dentinal pain – dentinal tubulus – hydrodynamic theory – history of treatment
