Postoperative Sensitivity Following Placement with Different Restorative Materials in Vital Posterior Teeth

Comparison of Postoperative Sensitivity Following Placement with Different Restorative Materials in Vital Posterior Teeth

There is a lack of long-term clinical studies comparing different restorative materials; most of the available studies have only looked at class I cavities or examined post-operative sensitivity in non-caries cervical lesions. The purpose of this study is to measure postoperative sensitivity in clinical settings at 3-month intervals for class 1 and 2 direct posterior restoration
