Comparative evaluation of 2% sodium fluoride iontophoresis and other cavity liners beneath silver amalgam restorations.
BACKGROUND This study was design ed to compare 2 % sodium fluoride ( NaF ) iontophoresis with other cavity liners . MATERIAL S AND METHODS This study was carried out in 30 patients in the age group 10 - 14 years with bilateral carious permanent first molars . The study evaluated the use of 2 % NaF iontophoresis as a cavity liner and also compared its desensitizing effect with varnish and an adhesive bonded liner . Sensitivity gradings were done on a subjective verbal rating scale . RESULTS All the liner treatments decreased the sensitivity following liner application . However , decrease of sensitivity in the case of 2 % NaF iontophoresis was more compared with that of varnish and adhesive bonded liner . The results were statistically significant . CONCLUSIONS It was found that 2 % NaF iontophoresis was more effective in reducing the postoperative sensitivity compared with that of varnish and scotchbond multi purpose
