Postoperative pain following bonded amalgam restorations.
Sixty subjects were r and omized into two groups . The time , in seconds , that it took subjects to respond to a st and ardized cold stimulus was recorded at baseline and again 1 week following treatment . During the intervening week subjects filled out three self-report question naires about pain from exposure to cold and several other common sources of postoperative pain . These question naires were filled out after 1 day , again 3 days after the first question naire , and 3 days after the second . Subjects mailed the question naires in immediately to provide three independent reports about cold sensitivity . The group receiving an OptiBond adhesive liner under their amalgam restorations was not found to be any less sensitive to cold , either by timed response to a cold stimulus or by self-report of pain , than the group receiving conventional liners and bases
