title: The importance of technique in preventing postoperative sensitivity when placing bonded restorations.
abstract: This article has focused on what are thought to be some of the common causes of postoperative sensitivity following placement of adhesive restorations. Of course, there can be many other factors. There are an infinite number of roads or combinations of roads that won't get dentists where they want to go. However, there is a specific road or roads, when taken carefully in the proper sequence, that will predictably get dentists to their destinations. The same is true for bonding. Adhesive dentistry is by no means difficult, but it is exacting. If the rules are understood and followed precisely, dentists will find the results are well worth the effort.
