The aim of the survey was to study the prevalence, common causes, aggravating factors and awareness about dentine hypersensitivity in urban and rural patients of Dakshina Kannada population. A total of 1000 patients were randomly selected, who reported at the A. B. Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Sciences, Nitte University and Satellite Rural Centres. Dentine hypersensitivity was evaluated by questionnaire, oral and clinical examination. On analysis of data, it was found that the prevalence of dentine hypersensitivity was 19.2%. Cold was the most common (68.2%) aggravating factor and the most common cause was gingival recession (47.9%), followed by caries (24%). Most common age group affected by dentine hypersensitivity was between 21-30. It was also noted that population had limited awareness about the causes, symptoms and treatment modalities of dentine hypersensitivity.
