Visitor asks:
Hello!
What is the probability of new caries developing under a filling?
Thank you.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
The probability also needs to be defined in relation to the age of the filling. After ten years, the statistical value for an amalgam filling (according to the literature) is approximately 25%. For white fillings, this probability is considerably higher even over a shorter period. The probability also varies greatly depending on the extent and location of the filling.
Have a nice day!
