  • The influence of approximate amalgam restorations on alveolar bone loss = Vpliv aproksimalnih plomb na izgubo alveolarne kosti
    Cvetko, Erika ; Skalerič, Uroš, 1945-2023
    Background. Along with systemic factors it has been shown that local factors such as inadequate restorative dentistry may result in accelerated alveolar bone loss. The aim of the study was to examine ... the prevalence of overhanging approximate restorations and to quantify their effect on marginal alveolar bone in comparison with the effect of intact teeth surfaces and surfaces with well-fitting amalgam restorations. Materials and metodst. Panoramic radiographs of 671 randomly selected patients, aged 18-75 years (x=4.8) were examined. Interproximal bone loss around teeth with overhanging amalgam restorations was measured and compared to bone loss around well-fitting amalgam restorations and adjacent to intact approximate surfaces. Results. Theprevalence of overhanging approximate amalgam fillings was 19%. Overall alveolar bone loss was greater around teeth with overhanging amalgam restorations than around teeth with well-fitting restorations. The lowest boneresporption was adjacent to intact approximate teeth surfaces (all statistically significant, p > 0.01).
