- Abstract
The aim of this pilot study was to highlight the viability of the fillings in medium-sized or profound cavities in which base materials were used and to identify clinical cases of tooth or filling fracture. Material and method: medical charts of patients aged between 25 and 27 years old from a private clinic were analyzed. Selection of lateral teeth with medium-sized and profound cavities, filled with restoration and base materials 2 years earlier, revealed 39 such teeth. We identified cases in which within this 2-year period the patient came back to the dental office accusing fracture of tooth or filling. Data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel. Results: 51% of analyzed cavities were class I; 69% of them were medium-sized; 77% had composite fillings; for base materials glass ionomers (69%), zinc phosphate cement (26%) and zinc eugenol cement (5%) were used; 15% fractured during the analyzed 2 years period, out of which only one was an amalgam class II filling with zinc phosphate cement base, two fillings fractured in less than one year, both using composite materials. Conclusions: Most analyzed teeth presented more than 2 years longevity, regardless of the restoration or base materials chosen.
