Repair or Replacement ? Recommendations based on scientific and clinical evidence (2/3)
During the past several years, repair of restorations has become increasingly popular. This option is regarded by most universities as a minimally invasive alternative to replacement which allows stopping or slowing down the restorative downward spiral that ultimately would lead to tooth loss. For practicability of repair techniques in the dental practice, however, detailed criteria are needed to distinguish between failed restorations which have to be replaced and those that can be repaired. Only in this way, it is possible to change the current policy of choosing repair as a treatment merely on a case-by-case basis.
