About this study
Official title: Attitude And Practice of Egyptian Dental Practitioners Regarding Restoration Repair: A Cross-Sectional Study
This is a cross-sectional study with an aim to evaluate the variations in self-reporting attitude and practice of restoration repair among Egyptian dental practitioners utilizing a survey questionnaire.
It is undeniable that "Minimally invasive dentistry" nowadays offers solutions to prolong the longevity of resin composite restoration with adhesive technology. Due to the limited lifespan of dental restorations, defects are more prone to occur in the existing restorations and thus require dental treatment. it was stated in the literature that repairing could offer better advantages even though replacement of a restoration is a more common choice by many clinicians.
Since the concept of preserving tooth structure nowadays plays a major part in dental practice, invistigators need to understand where Egyptian dental practitioners stand in understanding and applying the concept of restoration repair. Assessment of knowledge and the missing data regarding the concept of repair that dentists in Egypt have could help understand their awareness in applying conservatism in daily practice. There were some research about knowledge, attitude and practice of restoration repair in of dental practitioners in other countries, but little was known in Egypt.
