- Abstract
Composite resin is one of the most commonly used restorative material during the past decade as it provides desirable esthetics, easy to manipulate and minimal cavity preparation required. Despite numerous benefits provided by composites, several clinical studies have reported short longevity and higher rate of failure in composite restoration. One of the main reasons for failure was due to recurrent or secondary caries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between composite restoration in anterior teeth and secondary caries. This study included patients above 18 years with composite restoration filled anterior teeth who reported to dental hospital from June 2019 to March 2020. Patients below 18 years, medically compromised patients and patients without anterior composite restorations were excluded from the study. A total of around 86000 patient records were reviewed and analysed for the inclusion criteria and the following parameters were extracted; (i) Patient's gender, (ii) teeth involved, (iii) presence of secondary caries and (iv) types of restoration. Data was recorded into Microsoft Office Excel (2013) and analysed using SPSS software Version 26.0. Chi-square test was done to find out correlation of presence of secondary caries between variables such as patient's gender, teeth involved and types of restoration. Significant test level was set at p<0.05. A total of 1062 teeth presented with composite restoration in anterior teeth. 17.6% of composite filled anteriors presented with secondary caries. Class III restoration had the highest prevalence of secondary caries (61%) and was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). Females (18.3%) had higher incidence of secondary caries than compared to males (16.6%). Maxillary central incisors had the highest presence of secondary caries (64.2%). Within the limits of this study, it was observed that less number of composite filled anterior teeth had secondary caries and females presented with more number of anterior composite restoration with secondary caries compared to males. Class III restorations demonstrated higher presence of secondary caries than other types of restoration.
