Factors influencing the longevity of posterior composite restorations: A dental university clinic study.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 9 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: This retrospective study aimed to assess the performance of posterior composite resin restorations (PCRRs) and evaluate the influence of patient-specific factors on restoration outcomes. Methods: A total of 189 PCRRs were examined in 54 patients, with evaluations based on Modified USPHS criteria. Patient-specific factors were analyzed. Statistical analyses, including chi-square tests, independent samples t-tests, and ANOVA tests, were conducted. Results: Patients aged over 50 exhibited higher DMFT averages and a higher rate of unsuccessful restorations. Despite higher DMFT scores in females, gender doesn't significantly impact restoration outcomes. Secondary caries correlated with.plaque scores, significantly affecting restoration survival. Marginal adaptation, retention deficiencies, and secondary caries were primary causes of failure. Multi-surface restorations faced higher failure risk due to elevated plaque scores. Class-V restorations showed a higher failure rate, challenging the number of surfaces and longevity correlation. Conclusions: This study identified key factors influencing posterior composite resin restorations-(PCRRs) in patients over 50, including higher DMFT averages and more unsuccessful restorations. No significant difference was found between brushing; frequency and DMFT rates, possibly due to the absence of non-brushers. Secondary caries; correlated with elevated plaque scores, impacting restoration survival. Primary causes of; failure included marginal adaptation issues, retention deficiencies, and secondary caries, with multi-surface restorations facing a higher risk. However, tooth vitality, beverage and acidic food consumption, and oral hygiene habits did not significantly affect PCRR outcomes. Clinical significance: Patient-specific factors significantly impact PCRRs' long-term performance. Dentists must tailor strategies, emphasizing regular monitoring and preventive measures for extended survival.
