Australian Prosthodontic Journal
|January 1, 1989
Summary
This study evaluated 92 Isosit composite inlays over 7 months to 4 years. Results show exceptional clinical success, with only one inlay failing to meet functional criteria.
Area of Science:
- Dental Materials Science
- Restorative Dentistry
- Clinical Oral Health
Background:
- Composite inlays are widely used dental restorations.
- Assessing the long-term clinical performance of Isosit composite inlays is crucial for understanding their durability and reliability in clinical practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the clinical performance and longevity of Isosit composite inlays.
- To determine the success rate of Isosit composite inlays based on established clinical criteria.
Main Methods:
- A clinical review of 92 Isosit composite inlays was conducted.
- Inlays had been in place for 7 months to 4 years and 4 months.
- Evaluations included direct clinical examination, indirect model assessment, and color slide analysis using modified USPHS criteria.
Main Results:
- Out of 92 Isosit composite inlays examined, only one inlay failed to meet the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria for a functioning restorative system.
- This indicates a very high success rate for Isosit composite inlays within the observed timeframe.
Conclusions:
- Isosit composite inlays demonstrate excellent clinical performance and longevity.
- The high success rate suggests Isosit composite inlays are a reliable restorative option in clinical dentistry.
