    Area of Science:

    • Restorative Dentistry
    • Dental Materials Science

    Context:

    • Analysis of 327 large posterior restorations over a ten-year period.
    • Investigating the long-term efficacy of amalgam in dental restorations.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the success and failure rates of large posterior amalgam restorations.
    • To compare amalgam restorations as an alternative to fixed prostheses.

    Summary:

    • A 6.5% failure rate was observed in large posterior amalgam restorations.
    • High success rates (averaging 4 years) may be linked to cusp protection provided by amalgam.
    • Amalgam restorations are a viable intermediate option when aesthetics are not a primary patient concern.

    Impact:

    • Provides evidence supporting the use of amalgam for specific restorative needs.
    • Informs clinical decision-making regarding material selection for posterior restorations.
    • Highlights the role of cusp protection in the longevity of dental fillings.
