Early failures and further re-interventions of direct posterior restorations at Public Dental Service 15-year retrospective observation
Pain or posterior restoration deficiencies are the most common reasons for interventions carried out within a year. Re-interventions are more common in previously restored teeth than in teeth with primary restoration. Re-interventions can be effective in preserving most teeth, even in cases with large composite restorations, over a 15-year follow-up period.
