Clinical Evaluation of Composite Restorations Using the Fédération Dentaire Internationale (FDI) Criteria: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study at University Dental Hospital, The University of Lahore, Pakistan
Restoration longevity is influenced by cavity classification and duration of the restoration, with Class I restorations exhibiting superior durability. The findings emphasize the progressive decline in functional, biological, and aesthetic properties over time, stressing the need for improved restorative materials and techniques to enhance long-term success.
