Abstract
Repair versus Replacement: A Questionnaire Examining the Repair Preferences of Turkish Dentists in Dental Restorations
Highlights
The improvements in recent years have increased the durability of dental restorations, pH changes [1], salivary enzymes [2], thermal changes [3] can weaken the mechanical properties of the restorations and fractures can occur in the restorations
The case was presented in the second part; How treatment plans change was asked in the cases such as partial loss of restoration, discoloration, loss of hard substance, secondary caries, marginal discoloration, and marginal gap
In our previous study, we found that female dentists are more prone to minimal invasive treatment [28]
Summary
The improvements in recent years have increased the durability of dental restorations, pH changes [1], salivary enzymes [2], thermal changes [3] can weaken the mechanical properties of the restorations and fractures can occur in the restorations. There may be discolouration due to cigarette, mouthwashes or beverages on dental restorations [5,6,7]. In these cases, dentists have to make a decision between repairing or replacing the restoration completely. Minimal invasive treatment is one of the most important principles in modern dentistry. It is the basis of this principle to give as limited damage to healthy tooth tissues and to remove as less tooth tissue as possible. The complete replacement of the existing restoration expands the preparation size and increases the risk of complications
