Abstract
This article has no abstract. The first 100 words appear below: A 42 year old female presented with the complaints of thermal sensitivity and impaction of food during mastication on her lower left posterior region. On clinical examination, carious lesions involving proximal surface was detected at the lower left first molar tooth which extended up to the dentin. The vitality test showed that the affected tooth was vital and the tooth was also non-tender to percussion.
Highlights
Radiographic examination revealed that the tooth had a radiolucent area in the proximal surface that extended to the dentin
A previous study indicates that reversible pulpitis is generally characterized by sharp sensitivity to cold, which is not low-grade ache, and the painful response to stimuli is not prolonged.[18]
Based on the patient symptoms and radiological findings, the present case is diagnosed as reversible pulpitis
Summary
Dr Ali: After considering the structural integrity of the tooth, it was decided to restore the tooth by direct nanohybrid resin composite (Ceram XTM) restorative material with an onestep self-etching adhesive system (7th generation). Composite resin has significant advantages over the metallic restorative material because it can be bonded to sound enamel and dentin, allowing for more conservative cavity design.[22]
