Comparison of Post Cementation Sensitivity Between RMGIC and GIC as Luting Materials in a Randomized Clinical Trial

This randomized controlled trial aims to compare post-cementation sensitivity between resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) and conventional glass ionomer cement (GIC) as luting materials. Conducted at the Prosthodontics Department, Saidu College of Dentistry, Swat, the study will enroll 248 patients aged 15-70 with vital abutment teeth, randomly assigned to receive either RMGIC or GIC. Sensitivity will be assessed using a 10-point Visual Analog Scale (VAS), with scores above 1 considered indicative of post-operative sensitivity and further categorized for analysis. Strict inclusion/exclusion criteria and randomization will control bias and confounders. Data will be analyzed in SPSS 22 using t-tests and chi-square tests, with significance set at p≤0.05.
