Abstract: Dentin hypersensitivity is a temporary and sharp pain caused by external stimulation of exposed dentin, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. A large number of studies have shown that occlusion of dentin tubules can effectively treat dentin hypersensitivity, but the therapeutic effect of simply blocking dentin tubules is not ideal. In this paper, we introduce three methods to block dentinal tubules and induce remineralization of dentinal tubules, including nano-hydroxyapatite, bioactive glass and Gallic acid / metal ion complex. These methods can not only quickly block the dentinal tubules, but also continue to play a role, so as to better plug the dentinal tubules, which can reduce the pain of patients and is expected to eventually cure dentin hypersensitivity.

Key words: dentin hypersensitivity, dentin tubule, occlusion, remineralization
