Does the adhesive strategy influence the post-operative sensitivity in adult patients with posterior resin composite restorations?: A systematic review and meta-analysis

摘要: Abstract Objectives A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed on the risk intensity of postoperative sensitivity (POS) in posterior resin composite restorations bonded with self-etch (SE) etch-and-rinse (ER) adhesives.
