This paper provides an overview of the current knowledge of epidemiology, diagnosis, etiology and clinical management of dentine hypersensitivity with emphasis on mechanism of action and clinical evidence for the efficacy of In-Office treatment to reduce dentine hypersensitivity.Keywords: Dentinal Hypersensitivity, In-Office Treatment
