“…There are numerous factors which determine the success of dental restorations which include size and design of restoration, type and orientation of the tooth in the dental arch, the form of restorative material used, the level of experience the clinician has and the age and gender of the patient. Most of the studies have been published on the failure of direct restorations but their comparison becomes very complex as they diverge on several aspects like patient number, follow-up years, number of dentists involved in the same case and their degree of expertise, type and size of restorations and the type of statistical methods used [34].…”

Aim: Aim of the present study was to determine the incidence of restoration replacement and associated factors among South Canara population. Place of Study: Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, AB Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Sciences, Deralakatte, Mangaluru. Duration of Study: May 15, 2018-June 15, 2018 (1 month). Methodology: 2000 patients were examined using mouth mirror and explorer under good lighting facilities, followed by a questionnaire to determine the incidence of restoration replacement and the parameters checked for correlations were type of the restorative material, class of the restoration, reason for the failure, type and position of the tooth, and patient factors such as age-group, gender and oral hygiene measures followed. Statistical Analysis: Data obtained was statistically analysed by using IBM SBSS version 24. Differences between variables were analysed by Chi-square test. Results and Conclusion: Significant differences were found in case of age groups, reason of replacement and the class of restoration The incidence of restoration replacement was 18.2% as 364 patients out of 2000 patients showed the need for replacements. The main cause of the failure was secondary caries followed by material fracture and discoloration. Amalgam was the most commonly replaced restorative material and lower molar teeth showed more failures. It also indicated that replacements were more prevalent in males and for individuals brushing once daily followed by ones with occasional brushing and lastly who brushed twice daily.

“…It has also been reported that increased occlusal stress is associated with increased restorative failures. 1,16 This explains the high failure rates seen in amalgam, composite, and crowns.…”

“…It has been reported in the literature that about 60% of all operative work involves the replacement of failed restorations. 1,2 Failure of restoration occurs when a restoration degrades to a level where it precludes proper performance either for esthetic or functional reasons or because of inability to prevent disease development or recurrence. [2][3][4] The following are the three main reasons why restorations are replaced: Clinician factors, material properties, and patient factors.…”

“…[14][15][16] Burke et al 17 found that normal occlusal function is associated with increased restoration's age at replacement and that excessive and high occlusal function is associated with reduced restoration's age at failure. 1,17 JCDP Khat, or Catha edulis, of the plant family Celastraceae, is an evergreen shrub indigenous to Yemen and East Africa. The plant has amphetamine-like effects, and a high proportion of the population habitually chews its fresh leaves and twigs.…”

Introduction The effect of Khat and Shammah habits, with the parafunctional jaw activities that accompany them, on the integrity of the natural dentition, dental restorations, and prostheses has not yet been investigated. This study is the first attempt to identify the patterns of restorative failure among Khat chewers and Shammah users in Jazan City, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Materials and methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in 294 recruits among dental clinics in Jazan City, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from October 1, 2015, to April 30, 2016. The patients were surveyed and examined to identify the type of restorations/prosthesis they had and their failures. Bivariate analysis was conducted to investigate the association of the restorative failure with the demographic variables. General linear model was performed to investigate the association between restorations/prostheses failure and Khat/Shammah use with the controlling factors of age and gender as independent variables. Results Khat/Shammah use was statistically significantly associated with restorative failure (p < 0.05) relative to amalgam, composite, crowns, fixed partial dentures, removable partial dentures, and complete dentures. In addition, a significant association of restorative failure was observed with gender, education, and brushing. Conclusion Consumption of Khat/Shammah may be attributed as one of the reasons associated with restorative failure among the Saudi population.

“…Moreover, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) estimates 1.6 million additional amalgam restorations will be placed in pregnant and lactating women in the US in 2013 (FDA, 2009). Studies of the longevity of amalgam restorations suggest nearly half survive more than 15 years in the mouth (Reviewed by Soares and Cavalheiro, 2010). It is generally not recommended to replace clinically sound restorations without cause, since unnecessary damage to remaining tooth structure can occur during amalgam removal.…”

Limited human data are available to assess the association between prenatal mercury vapor (Hg0) exposure from maternal dental amalgam restorations and neurodevelopment of children. We evaluated the association between maternal dental amalgam status during gestation and children’s neurodevelopmental outcomes at 5 years in the Seychelles Child Development Nutrition Study (SCDNS). Maternal amalgam status was determined prospectively in a longitudinal cohort study examining the associations of prenatal exposure to nutrients and methylmercury (MeHg) with neurodevelopment. A total of 236 mother-child pairs initially enrolled in the SCDNS in 2001 were eligible to participate. Maternal amalgam status was measured as number of amalgam surfaces (the primary metric) and number of occlusal points. The neurodevelopmental assessment battery was comprised of age-appropriate tests of cognitive, language, and perceptual functions, and scholastic achievement. Linear regression analysis controlled for MeHg exposure, maternal fatty acid status, and other covariates relevant to child development. Maternal amalgam status evaluation yielded an average of 7.0 surfaces (range 0–28) and 11.0 occlusal points (range 0–40) during pregnancy. Neither the number of maternal amalgam surfaces nor occlusal points were associated with any outcome. Our findings do not provide evidence to support a relationship between prenatal exposure to Hg0 from maternal dental amalgam and neurodevelopmental outcomes in children at 5 years of age.
