New data on sensitivity and tooth wear from IADR 2023
Watch presentations from the scientific symposium and presentations from IADR 2023
Nicola West and colleagues led a scientific symposium at the IADR General Session 2023 titled ‘Seven Country European Prevalence Data on Tooth Wear and Dentine Hypersensitivity’, which was supported by Haleon.
The team presented the data from the study completed across seven countries in Europe (UK, Ireland, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Germany) in 3,551 volunteers. This study follows up on the first of its kind which captured similar prevalence and risk factors.
These unique data sets demonstrate significant positive associations between clinically elicited sensitive teeth, erosive tooth wear and gum recession and between gum recession and periodontal status with higher prevalence of all conditions.
The presentation discusses observed country and cohort specific differences in behaviours and prevalence figures and raises the value of delivering country targeted advice to help improve understanding of how known risk factors interact to cause or exacerbate these conditions.

Introduction: Associations between recession, dentine hypersensitivity, erosive tooth wear and periodontal health: The 2nd European population-based cross-sectional study on 3551 individuals from 7 countries
Introducing the symposium, Professor David Herrera, University Complutense of Madrid, will give a brief overview of the associations between gum recession, sensitive teeth, erosive tooth wear and periodontal health from this study.
Prevalence of dentine hypersensitivity and study of associated risk factors: the second European population-based cross-sectional study
In the first of four videos from the IADR scientific symposium, Professor Nicola West, University of Bristol, outlines findings from the European prevalence study in relation to dentine hypersensitivity.
Prevalence of erosive tooth wear and study of associated risk factors: the second European population-based cross-sectional study
Professor Nicola West, University of Bristol, presents the findings in relation to prevalence of erosive tooth wear.
Prevalence of recession and study of associated risk factors: the second European population-based cross-sectional study
This presentation examines the findings in terms of risk factors and prevalence for recession from the European study and is delivered by Professor Anton Sculean from the University of Bern, Switzerland.
