“…1,2,4,[6][7][8][9][10] According to Healey & Phillips, most failures of amalgam restorations occurred due to technical errors by the operator (56% due to incorrect cavity preparation and 40% due to improper material handling), and only 4% occurred due to several causes, which can also be validated with the data produced by this study, where most failures occurred in restorations with silver amalgam, and it is possible to note an excess of this restorative material and failures in its adaptation to the tooth. [12][13][14]16,18,20 Gingivitis is the most common form of periodontal disease, and its etiology is related to the accumulation of biofilm. Excessive restorations favor this accumulation, which consequently leads to the development of periodontal disease.…”

Background: Technological advancement has also allowed dentistry to obtain new materials and techniques, as well as more predictable results in dental treatment. However, there are still many flaws related to the technique and choice of materials by dentists. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate through panoramic radiographs failures in dental treatment.Methods: 1250 panoramic radiographs were selected and evaluated by an experienced specialist, 609 of which had one or more iatrogenic Results: 48.72% of the radiographs analyzed showed some failure in dental treatment that focused on the age group of 31-50 years.Conclusion: Thus, it is necessary that dentists are attentive to the detection and correction of iatrogenesis, seeking a better quality of life for patients.

Overhanging dental restorations (ODR) are a major dental health problem. An ODR is defined as an extension of restorative material beyond the confines of a cavity preparation. They have been strongly implicated as an etiologic factor in the progression of periodontal disease and are alarmingly prevalent. In addition to promoting plaque accumulation, they change a nondestructive subgingival flora to a destructive one. There is good documentation that bleeding, gingivitis, and bone loss increase in tissues adjacent to ODR as compared to homologous teeth. Removal of ODR enhances the effectiveness of the hygienic phase of periodontal therapy. Many ODR, however, are not detected on radiographs and are evident only by use of an explorer directed subgingivally. For this reason and others, many are not removed. This literature review summarizes research concerning the prevalence, significance and removal of ODR.
