Teaching repair versus replacement of direct composite resin restorations: A cross-sectional study across dental schools in Malaysia
With all undergraduate dental students being taught the use of DCR repairs, the percentage of defective DCRs in Malaysia managed by means of a repair may be anticipated to increase in years to come. The cumulative effects of this increase may contribute to the conservation of teeth, with opportunity for cost savings.
