According to the scoping review guidelines, this study discussed the measurement tools used in related studies in foreign countries to present the baseline data to investigate the knowledge of dentin hypersensitivity in Korean dentists or dental hygienists. Ten works of literature were discussed, which were conducted in foreign countries, including the Netherlands, the U.K., the U.S., and Nigeria, and nine were conducted with dentists only, and one was conducted with both dentists and dental hygienists. The items of the surveys on dentin hypersensitivity were the causes, treatment methods, prevention methods and differential diagnosis of dentin hypersensitivity. The items surveyed along with them were the general characteristics such as age, sex, educational background, work type, clinical experience, and a question to understand the dental medical status. The forms of responses included the form of judging whether the answer was correct or not to each question on a five-point Likert scale, the form of making duplicate responses to all correct answers, and the form of making single responses. It turned out that the knowledge of dentin hypersensitivity in dentists or dental hygienists was assessed with the method of understanding whether the answer was correct or not by including wrong information in the example item. In the level of Korean dentists or dental hygienists’ knowledge of the measurement tools of dentin hypersensitivity, the causative factors, symptom factors of dentin hypersensitivity, and the management method factors, including treatment and prevention methods should be included, and the form of responses that could be processed as a continuous variable is desirable, and the variables that may affect the level of knowledge should be investigated together. This study has a limitation in that it did not evaluate the quality of the literature; however, it has significance in that it integrated and investigated survey research on dentin hypersensitivity with dentists or dental hygienists and drew suggestions.
