Survey of amalgam and composite restorations in Korea
Abstract
A small scale survey amongst general dental practitioners in Korea aimed to discover the reasons for placement or replacement of restorations. Material used and cavity type were recorded as was the age of restorations to be replaced, where known. Comparisons with data from the USA, Scandinavia, the UK and Italy provide the basis for observations on the reasons for longevity of restorations.
