Avaliação clínica da sensibilidade pós-operatória em restaurações de resina compostas em dentes superiores: efeito da interposição do oxalato de potássio ou lonômero de vidro

Abstract

Due to a high number of postoperative sensitivity (P.O.S.) complains in adhesive dentistry this study aimed to assess P.O.S. in class I composite restorations placed in molars and pre-molars in patients aged from 18 to 35 years old. As desensitizing procedures potassium oxalate gel and glass ionomer cement (lining) were applied to dentin before restorations. The patients were recalled after 48 hours and 7 days. The data were collected first from a patient report (according to previous established parameters) and after the application of thermal, pressure and percussion stimulus, using an analogical visual scale. No report of postoperative sensitivity using both methods were detected for different restorative procedures in any studied periods.
