Needs for re-intervention on restored teeth in adults: a practice-based study

ConclusionsThe needs for re-intervention in adults are still high within a context of ever-changing materials and techniques, simplified and rationalized decision-makings, and demands for patient involvement.Clinical relevanceMeeting these needs requires the following: (i) consensus definitions and assessment methods for “failure” and (ii) reliable feedbacks on materials, procedures, and satisfaction. Building large and detailed databases fed by networks of motivated practitioners will help analyzing complex success/failure data by artificial intelligence and guiding treatment and research.
