LEIPZIG, Germany: A recent expert review has set out evidence-based consensus recommendations to help dental teams in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) diagnose and manage dentine hypersensitivity systematically in daily practice. The guidelines, developed by an advisory board panel of 12 dental experts from eight MEA countries, emphasise routine screening and a stepwise care pathway. The review also calls for better education of both clinicians and the public and highlights the urgent need for MEA-specific epidemiological and clinical research.
