Análisis del grado de sensibilidad dentinaria postoperatoria según el tipo de sistema adhesivo en restauraciones directas.

Abstract

Introduction: One of the most common concerns among dentists is postoperative sensitivity during restorative procedures. Despite advancements in restorative dentistry, both in materials and techniques, this issue persists for both patients and practitioners. Various factors linked to post-restoration sensitivity have been identified. Objective: To ascertain the degree of sensitivity between conventional adhesive systems and self-etch adhesive systems. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional, observational, and descriptive study comprising 116 dental specimens (n=116) from male and female patients with at least one carious lesion, following inclusion criteria. Parametric and non-parametric tests, including Chisquare, Odds Ratio, and Kendall's Coefficient, were employed for data analysis. Results: Postoperative sensitivity was six times more prevalent in dental specimens using conventional adhesive systems. Conclusions: Conventional adhesive systems exhibited higher postoperative sensitivity compared to self-etch systems, irrespective of factors such as cavity liner use, gender, and cavity depth.
