Abstract

I remember in dental school the words Dycal liners and bases rang supreme in the
preclinical setting. Since first year of “dental preclinic” we were always told about a variety
of products to sooth the tooth after preparation, to help sustain its vitality after the trauma that
is preparing the tooth. Whether from micro-fractures, bacteria or etch sensitivity, we knew we
wanted it gone quick to be successful at our mission. However, not enough curing lights were
available to teach us how to use composites, never mind, light activated liners coming out such
as Limeline and Vitrebond. So upon our ripening in the finally of second year, we would be unleashed
on real teeth, attached to real live people. These real people we saw in the dental school
clinics also wanted composite fillings as well, and without cold sensitivity
