1) Fisher Exact test with p-value: Oral impacts were higher among those with DH (p<0001). No individuals without DH reported impact.
2) The mean air-blast VAS score for those reporting impacts was 31.3 ± 21.6, and the mean tactile stimulation VAS score was 11.6 ± 15.6 mm. The mean air-blast VAS score for the 11 subjects who reported no impacts was 21.0 ± 18.6 mm, the mean tactile-stimulation VAS score was 7.6 ± 9.2 mm, and the difference in mean air-blast VAS scores (p=0.15) and mean tactile stimulation scores (p=0.42) between groups were not statistically significant.
3)ANCOVA: Higher air-blast VAS score (estimate=0.10, p<0.001), higher tactile stimulation VAS score (estimate 0.13, p<0.001), non-use of desensitizing agent (estimate 1.77, p=0.009) and higher age (estimate: 0.06, p=0.016) were associated with higher CS-OIDP (R2=0.476)

- Significant p-value was reported for the association of DH with difficulty in chewing food, difficulty in tooth brushing, and avoiding certain foods (physical aspects). For psychological aspects, a significant association was observed in patients’ worries.
- For social aspects, there were no significant differences. It was not possible to estimate any effect measure because the number of subjects with or without DH, which show or not oral health impacts, is unclear.

Patients whose hypersensitivity was a GR-related complaint presented a mean score of OHRQoL-UK of 41.23 ± 8.31, and without complaints presented a mean score of 46.34 ± 12.17 (p<0.05). There was a higher mean of OHRQoL-UK for physical, psychological, social, and symptom domains for groups with hypersensitivity as a gingival recession related complaint (p<0.05). |
