Here is another case where voids in resin fillings will cause the tooth to be sensitive. This patient's complaint was "I had some fillings done on my upper left quadrant, and the teeth on that side have been sensitive since." The black arrow points to a distinct void underneath the white filling. To correct the problem, we will need to redo this filling for the patient.
