Evidence on the survival of different restorations in general practice is scarce and so to address this need, a study was designed to monitor the outcome of Class V restorations placed in UK general practices.
Prospective longitudinal cohort multi-centre study.
UK general dental practice.
Ten UK dentists each placed 100 Class V restorations and recorded selected clinical information at placement and at recall visits on record cards. Dentists selected materials and techniques which they felt appropriate to each clinical situation.
Data cards for 11 restorations were incorrectly completed or information was missing leaving 989 for analysis. The majority of restorations were placed in patients between 51 and 60 years of age, in canines or premolars (68.4%) and under private contract (63%). Composite (40.85%) and compomer (23.46%) were the most frequently placed materials overall but were not the most frequently placed restorative by some dentists.
Different dentists use different methods to manage Class V lesions but each dentist tends to use one restorative material predominantly. There is a degree of overlap among practitioners in the materials which they employ, but clear preferences were displayed in the materials used and handling techniques.
一般实践中不同修复体的生存情况的证据稀缺，因此，为了满足这一需求，设计了一项研究来监测英国一般实践中放置的 V 类修复体的结果。
前瞻性纵向队列多中心研究。
英国普通牙科实践。
10 名英国牙医每人放置 100 个 V 类修复体，并在记录卡上的就诊记录中记录放置时和就诊时的选定临床信息。牙医根据每个临床情况选择他们认为合适的材料和技术。
11 个修复体的数据卡填写不正确或信息缺失，留下 989 个用于分析。大多数修复体放置在 51 至 60 岁之间的患者中，位于犬齿或前磨牙（68.4%），并根据私人合同（63%）。复合树脂（40.85%）和复合树脂（23.46%）是总体上最常使用的材料，但并非所有牙医最常使用的修复体。
不同的牙医使用不同的方法来管理 V 类病变，但每个牙医往往主要使用一种修复材料。在他们使用的材料方面，从业者之间存在一定程度的重叠，但在使用的材料和处理技术方面表现出明显的偏好。
