“…However, repeated replacement leads to an increase in cavity size (Mjör ). Sharif et al (, ) and Martin et al () came to the same conclusion. They evaluated amalgam restorations that were treated by repair or replacement.…”

“…Therefore, it is important to adapt the indications for filling replacements. Yet, there is a lack of effective parameters, so that decisions for removal of fillings are more influenced by individual clinical experience rather than by evidence, subjective reasons (Noack and Treige ), and local practice patterns (Drake et al ; Elderton ; Burke et al ; Deligeorgi et al ; Sharif et al ). The aim of this study was to investigate useful decision criteria for the replacement of fillings.…”

The exchange of restorations goes along with the loss of healthy tooth structure. Therefore, it is important to investigate helpful decision criteria for the replacement of fillings. Five hundred forty‐four filling replacements were evaluated retrospectively. Thereby, different clinical parameters were correlated with the clinical finding of caries directly after removal of the existing filling. The parameters checked for correlations were amalgam and composite, age, and size of the filling, morphology, condition of the filling, type of caries, oral hygiene, anamnesis of the respective tooth, and the decisive factor to replace the restoration. Statistical evaluation was performed by chi‐squared‐test (P < 0,05) and by regression analysis (Power: 80%). A percentage of 69.8% of all cavities showed softened dentin if exploring with the probe after the removal of the restoration, 7.6% were stainable with caries detector, and 22.6% of the cavities were caries free. Significant indicators for a carious lesion were high age of restoration, imperfections at the margin of the filling, a positive pain sensation in correlation with composite fillings, and multi‐surface amalgam fillings. On suspicion of caries, the following decision criteria should encourage the dentist to remove a filling: High age of the filling, imperfections at the margin of the filling, especially fillings with marginal cracks, visible secondary caries, a positive pain sensation in composite filled teeth, and multi‐surface amalgam fillings. Filling removals only performed due to the patient's desire for removal should be critically regarded, as most of these fillings are caries free.

“…"In view of the absence of high level evidence there is a need for further well designed RCTs. To add value to the evidence base these trials should be conducted in a general practice setting which will strengthen the generalisability and applicability of the research conclusions and enable dentists and patients to make informed decisions" [Sharif et al, 2014a;Sharif et al, 2014b].…”

“…Eine sehr wichtige Option im Rahmen der Seniorenversorgung ist die Reparaturrestauration [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. Sie lässt sich meist mit begrenztem Aufwand und in der Regel in 1 Sitzung anfertigen und trägt entscheidend dazu bei, den Gebisszustand zu stabilisieren.…”
