Comparative evaluation of postoperative sensitivity in bulk fill restoratives: A randomized controlled trial

Abstract

AIM: Comparative evaluation of postoperative sensitivity (POS) among three bulk fill restorative materials (Cention N, Equia Forte, Activa™ Bioactive restorative) in Class I posterior restorations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: test using SPSS 11.0 program (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) for windows. RESULTS: The statistical analysis showed a significant difference in the clinical evaluation of POS at 24 h interval among three groups (Cention N, Activa™ Bioactive Restorative, Equia forte). However, following 1 week and 1 month, there is no significant difference in Group C (Activa™ Bioactive Restorative). CONCLUSION: POS was seen more in Cention N contrast to Equia forte and Activa™ bioactive restorative material.
