The consequences of not replacing a missing posterior tooth

Article Abstract:

The loss of a tooth in the back that is not replaced will not have serious consequences in most people. In a study of 111 such patients, most lost 1 millimeter or less of space between teeth adjacent to the space and 1 millimeter or less of bone loss.

Risk indicators for posterior tooth fracture

Article Abstract:

A case-control study is conducted to examine the risk indicators of posterior cusp fracture. The presence of a fracture line in the enamel and proportional volume of the restoration are the clinical features strongly associated with the risk of cusp fracture.

Does the cycle of rerestoration lead to larger restorations?

Article Abstract:

Dental fillings are regularly replaced with new fillings that may be progressively larger. Sixty-six dentists examined 62 adults with numerous dental fillings and made treatment decisions about the need to replace existing fillings in premolars and molars. Thirty-six percent of dental assessments yielded a recommendation to rerestore a back tooth. Seventy percent of these rerestoration recommendations increased the number of restored tooth surfaces. Most fillings were replaced because of tooth fracture or risk of tooth fracture, the need for esthetic improvement, problems with contact or contour, new cavities, or as part of a treatment plan for an adjacent tooth. Recurrent cavities and faulty restorations necessitated an increase in the number of restored surfaces in approximately half of the back teeth.
