The presence of dental caries is the main reason for the placement and replacement of restorations. Maintaining restorations to a satisfactory clinical condition is a big challenge for the practitioners. The aim of the study is to associate the age and gender of the patients who underwent amalgam restorations in mandibular premolars with class 1 dental caries. This was a descriptive study, where all the patients data were collected by reviewing patients records and analysing the data of 86000 patients reported from June 2019 to March 2020 to the Department of conservative dentistry and endodontics, Private Dental college and hospitals, Chennai. Data was collected and tabulated, statistical analysis was done by SPSS – IBM. In this study, we observed that there is a significant difference between the age, gender and tooth number of patients who underwent amalgam restoration in mandibular premolar with class 1 dental caries. Amalgam restoration has served the profession well, and it is...

Background: Dental amalgam is one of the most versatile restorative materials used in dentistry. It constitutes approximately 75% of all restorative materials used by dentists. It has served as a dental restoration for more than 165 years. There is still no adequate economic alternative for dental amalgam. The combination of reliable long-term performance in load bearing situations and low cost is unmatched by other dental restorative material. Aim: The present study aims to evaluate the association between age and gender of patients who underwent amalgam class II restoration in mandibular first molar. Materials and Method: The study sample consists of all patients between the age group 18-71 years who underwent amalgam class II restoration in mandibular first molar from june 2019-april 2020 at the SDC. The data collected were analysed for the number, age, gender for amalgam class II restoration in mandibular first molar. For a comparison between different variables, statistical package IBM SPSS 20 software analyzer was used and the statistics were obtained. Result: In this study, we can contemplate that Males(50.6%) have undergone more amalgam class II restoration in mandibular first molar when compared to females. Whereas, people of age groups 18-30 years(37%) have undergone more amalgam class II restoration in mandibular first molar. When compared to 36, more number of amalgam class II restoration was done in 46 (50.6%). There is no significant association between age, gender in patients undergoing amalgam class II restoration in mandibular first molar. Risk analysis was done. It is observed that males have higher risk when compared to females with highest confidence interval 1.490 and lowest confidence interval 0.785. (risk value-1.082, males>females) Conclusion: Within the limitations, the age group 18-30 years underwent more amalgam class II restoration in the mandibular first molar. The Male population seem to have undergone more amalgam class II restoration in the mandibular first molar and are at greater risk when compared to females.

Introduction: The restoration of teeth, which are most often damaged by trauma or dental caries, remains the majority of general dentists’ main area of focus on a daily basis. A major cause of concern in dental practice is the failure of dental restorations. Dental practitioners tend to employ dental amalgam and composite restorations more commonly. Aim: To evaluate the preference of amalgam or composite as a posterior restorative material among different groups of dental professionals in central India. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed among 153 dental professionals including general dentists, endodontists, other specialists and postgraduate students in central India between July 2021 to December 2021. Questionnaire containing fifteen close ended and two open ended questions assessing different methods of restoring posterior teeth in different conditions of tooth, choice of patient, physical properties and future scope of restorative material.

Inlay is an indirect restorative technique which is a conservative approach to prevent full coverage restorations. Inlays can be fabricated by using metal, composite or ceramics. The aim of the study was to find the association between age, gender and tooth number in patients undergoing class I metal inlay restoration. Samples were collected from June 2019 - March 2020. It included all the people who had undergone class I metal inlay restoration. A total of 37 class I metal inlay procedures were done. The collected data was tabulated using microsoft excel and analysed using SPSS. Incomplete data was excluded from the study. Statistical analysis was done using a chi-square test. In our study, we observed that the age group below 30 years, reported the most for class I metal inlay restoration with higher incidence of males. Tooth 37 was the most common tooth involved in class I metal inlay restoration. Association between gender and class I metal inlay restorations revealed that the highest number of class I metal inlay restorations were done in males in tooth number 37, and the least were done in females in tooth number 38(p >0.05), however it was not statistically significant. Association between age and class I metal inlay restorations revealed that patients in the age group above 30 years underwent higher number of class I metal inlays in tooth number 37 and the least being patients in the age group above 30 yrs involving tooth number 36 (p >0.05), however it was not statistically significant.
Analyses of long-term clinical behavior of class-II amalgam restorations

Jokstad A, Mjor IA. Analyses of long-term clinical behavior of class-I1 amalgam restorations. Acta Odontol Scand 1991;49:47-63. Oslo. ISSN 0001-6357. The purpose of the study was to estimate the influence of different clinical variables on the replacement rate of class-I1 amalgam restorations in permanent teeth. The study included 210 patients who had 468 restorations placed by 7 Scandinavian dentists. The observation periods varied between 7 and 10 years. At the time of the last recording 188 restorations remained intact in 88 patients, whereas 68 restorations in 53 patients had been replaced. Eighty-six patients with 212 restorations had dropped out of the study. The most prevalent criteria for replacement were secondary caries ( n = 30) and restoration bulk fractures ( n = 24). Chisquare analyses of the relationship between the prevalence of replacements and the clinical variables indicated effects of the operator and the patients' age and caries activity ( p < 0.001).

Data from 14 independent controlled clinical trials on the oral behavior of Classes 1 and 2 amalgam restorations, with a follow-up between five and 15 years, were re-evaluated by secondary analysis for the influence of alloy composition on the survival of amalgam restorations. For the analysis, 3119 restorations were available, which were made from 24 different alloys by a group of seven operators. The alloys were divided into four groups according to their zinc content (zinc-containing and zincfree) and their copper content (conventional and highcopper). During the follow-up of the trials, the restorations were annually assessed for failures, which were classified as to (1) restoration-, (2) restorative process-, and (3) patientrelated reasons. With the restoration-related failures, survival functions of the restorations were estimated by alloy and alloy group. The total number of failed restorations was 481, of which 77% were restoration-related and 14% process-related. Eighty percent of the restorationrelated failures were due to some form of fracture of the amalgam. Restorations of conventional zinc-free alloys had the shortest survival. After 13 years, only 25% survived. Zinc and a high copper content had an equally favorable influence on the survival rate, which was 70% after 13 years when either was present. The highest survival rates were of restorations of zinc-containing high-copper alloys: 85% after 13 years. The zinc and copper contents of the alloy contributed to the corrosion resistance of the amalgams, which in turn influenced the survival of the restoration. The current ISO Standard 1559 on alloys for dental amalgam should be modified to account for these factors that influence the survival of amalgam restorations.
Replacements of Amalgam Restorations - a Study
2010
The aim of this study was to register various reasons for replacement or repair of amalgam restorations of patients visiting a dental institution hospital in Peshawar, Pakistan, and to compare the results of the present study with the international studies carried out on this subject. A cross sectional study on 123 patients, aged 10-60 years, visiting for the replacement or repair of their 210 amalgam restorations was carried out over a period of 10 months. These patients were examined clinically and radiographically to find out the reasons of the failed amalgam restorations which needed replacement or repair while the teeth were still vital and restorable. In 123 patients, 210 amalgam restorations were examined. Seven reasons were found responsible for replacement or repair of restorations; Secondary caries (37.61%), marginal degradation (22.38% ), dislodgment of fillings (20.47%), poor anatomy restored (14.76%), fracture of filling’s material (11.42%), macroleakage gap (5.71%) and...

The present study evaluated the most common reasons for replacing amalgam restorations in a university clinic. A total of 217 restorations which needed to be replaced were clinically and radiographically evaluated in a period of 4 months. The frequencies of reasons for replacing amalgam restorations were calculated: The assessed items included recurrent caries, tooth structure fracture (functional or non-functional cusps), amalgam bulk fracture, amalgam marginal fracture, proximal overhangs, and esthetics. Data were analyzed using Fischer's exact test. Both in vital teeth and teeth which had undergone root canal therapy, the most common reason for amalgam replacement was cusp fracture, with the fracture of non-functional cusps being statistically significant. Recurrent caries was the second most common reason for amalgam replacement. In Class I restorations, the most common reasons were recurrent caries and esthetics, with no statistical significance. The most frequent problem i...
