Postoperative Pulpal Complications in Posterior Resin Composite Restorations Without Glass-ionomer Cement Lining
- Conditions
- Dental Caries
- Interventions
- Procedure: Glass ionomer cement lining
- Registration Number
- NCT01567514
- Lead Sponsor
- Mahidol University
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to observe the effects of glass-ionomer cement (GIC) lining on risk of pulpal complications in deep occlusal cavities with resin-based restorations.
- Detailed Description
Fifty three patients aged 18-30 years who had one or two deep occlusal carious lesions (≥ 3 mm in depth) in molars were recruited. Dental caries was removed and the prepared cavity was restored with resin composite using one of two restorative procedures: (1) without GIC lining; (2) with (resin-modified) GIC lining. Restored teeth were evaluated for any pulpal complications (subjective symptoms, objective signs or loss of tooth vitality) at one month (baseline), one year and two years after restoration.
