Abstract

A survey has been made of the reasons for the replacement of 318 resin restorations in selected dental practices in Korea. Secondary caries and discoloarations were the main reason for replacement of composite restorations, followed by discoloration, fracture of restoration, loss of anatomic form and pain sensitivity. The estimated 50% survival time for the surveyed restorations was 3.3 years.
