Mean number of sensitive teeth increased with increased severity of gingival recession. Most common initiating factors of <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">DS<\/jats:styled-content> were cold stimuli (70.5%), brushing (25.3%) and sour food (11.6%). Correlations were obtained for <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">DS<\/jats:styled-content> and race, toothbrush texture hardness, cervical tooth wear and gingival recession severity (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05; binary logistic regression).
