There are various treatment modalities to treat dentinal hypersensitivity. Iontophoresis is one of the popular technique which allows a concentrated application of drugs into the desired localized region of exposed dentine there by reducing the dentinal hypersensitivity.&#13;
Case Report: This article describes about treatment of patient with dentinal hypersensitivity using Iontophoresis technique.&#13;
Discussion: Immediate relief from dentinal hypersensitivity was achieved by clogging the dentinal tubules with usage of APF (Acidulated phosphate fluoride) gel by this iontophoresis technique.&#13;
Conclusion: Six months follow up study of this patient showed the long lasting effects of this technique, achieved by deeper penetration of fluoride ions. So it can be used as a first line of treatment in dentinal hypersensitivity.&#13;
