Dental Cement in Post-operative Sensitivity: Randomized Clinical Trial

Context: CEMENT PBS CIMMO DTA® has physical and biological properties that classify it as a biocompatible material and inducer of biomineralization, attributes that qualify it as material as an indirect pulp capper in permanent tooth restorations. Objective: The present clinical study proposes the use of PBS CIMMO DTA® cement as an indirect pulp capper, in resin restorations composed of permanent molars and premolars. The objective was to minimize postoperative sensitivity arising from restorative procedures. Method: Randomized clinical trial with two arms, double blind, interventional, prospective. The sample consisted of 20 male patients, with an average age of 20 years. Totaling 70 teeth to be treated. The teeth were divided into two groups: Group R (Control Group, n = 35), treated with a standard restorative procedure. Group D (Study group n = 35), treated using CEMENT PBS CIMMO DTA®, as an indirect capper of the pulp wall. The evaluation was carried out by a masked examiner for both groups. Sensitivity tests were performed before the restorative procedure, at 48 hours, 7, 15 and 30 days after the procedure. The analysis included pain caused by thermal stimuli: Cold Test (TM); horizontal (TPH) and vertical (TPV) percussion; Bite Test (TM) and Pain Decline Time (DD) was measured. Measured using Visual Analog Scale (EVA).
