Abstract
The aim was to evaluate the post-operative sensitivity (POS) of composite and amalgam restorations performed by 4th and 5th grade undergraduate dental students (under supervision) at Syrian Private University, and determine the possible relationship between POS and restorative material type, preparation depth, and cavity classification. Materials and Methods: A clinical follow-up was conducted on 137 Class I and II conservative amalgam and composite restorations with varying pulp protection protocols (no liner: Shallow preparations, calcium hydroxide liner [Life]: Moderate depth preparations, calcium hydroxide [Life] with a RMGIC base [Ionoseal]: Deep preparations). USPHS sensitivity evaluation was done after 24 h, 1 week, 1 month, and 2 months.
