title: Evaluation and control of post-cementation pulpal sensitivity: zinc phosphate and glass ionomer luting cements.
abstract: Many studies have documented pulpal sensitivity after crown cementation, but none have determined its cause. By controlling technique variables in a large-scale clinical trial, the authors evaluated the contribution of zinc phosphate and glass ionomer luting cements in causing pulpal sensitivity or necrosis.
