Effect of soft start and pulse LED curing modes on postoperative sensitivity after composite restoration of cervical abrasion - A randomised control clinical trial

Original Research

Abstract

Aim

To assess the impact of soft start and pulse LED curing techniques on postoperative sensitivity following composite restoration of cervical abrasion

Material and method

All the patients were chosen based on the inclusion requirements and split into two groups. 20 people were chosen as the sample size for each group. The lesion was made ready by acid etching, bonding agent application, and curing. The incremental approach was used to place the composite restorations, and each increment was appropriately cured in either group A's soft start mode or group B's pulse mode. After one week and one month, the patients were called back to evaluate the postoperative sensitivity.

Result

The difference between pulse led cure mode and gentle start had no statistically significant impact on postoperative sensitivity.

Conclusion

When compared to pulse curing approach, restorations cured using the gentle start curing technique did not exhibit any appreciable alterations in postoperative sensitivity.
