Postoperative sensitivity after amalgam restorations can occur due to factors like pulp irritation, thermal conductivity, or improper sealing. To manage this sensitivity, dentists can use desensitizing agents, such as potassium nitrate or fluoride varnishes. Additionally, considering alternative materials like composite resins or glass ionomer cements can provide better thermal insulation and bonding, potentially reducing sensitivity. Proper technique during placement and ensuring a good seal can also help minimize postoperative discomfort.
