Dentists and patients show preferences for direct composite restorations over amalgam in posterior teeth. Patients desire tooth-colored options and full information during informed consent for dental treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Dental materials science
  • Clinical dentistry
  • Patient-centered care

Background:

  • Direct composite restorations and amalgam are common materials for posterior dental restorations.
  • Dentists' and patients' preferences and decision-making processes for these materials are crucial for treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate dentists' and patients' attitudes and preferences regarding direct composite and amalgam restorations in the posterior segment.
  • To understand the factors influencing the selection and informed consent process for posterior dental restorations.

Main Methods:

  • Survey data collected from 144 dentists and 116 patients.
  • Analysis of reported attitudes, preferences, and selection criteria for direct composite and amalgam restorations.
Keywords:
Empirical ApproachProfessional Patient Relationship

  • Examination of informed consent practices related to material characteristics.

    • Main Results:

    • Dentists report both initiating recommendations for direct composites and patients requesting them for posterior restorations.
    • Selection criteria for direct composite restorations align with established dental literature.
    • Patients prioritize tooth-colored restorations and trust professional opinions but strongly desire comprehensive information during informed consent.

    Conclusions:

    • Patient interest in aesthetic, tooth-colored restorations is high.
    • Effective informed consent requires dentists to provide thorough information on material characteristics, aligning with patient desires and professional recommendations.
    • Understanding these preferences can optimize shared decision-making in restorative dentistry.
