A patient gives a h/o of menopause and symptoms of sensitivity in lower anteriors but no signs of attrition or abrasion…she underwent a flap surgery but the condition did not improve…what is the possible diagnosis and treatment modalities?

I feel that the symptoms may be due to cemental exposure and the timely management would be a desensitizing paste like vantage may help the patient
