Reasons for Composite Restoration Replacement in an Iranian Population : Composite Restoration Replacement in Patients.

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
Background: This study aimed to assess the reasons for composite restoration replacement in patients in Ahwaz, Iran. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 231 patients presenting to the dental clinic of the School of Dentistry, Ahwaz Jundishapour University in 2017-2018 who required composite restoration replacement. A senior dental student performed a clinical dental examination of patients using a dental explorer, a dental mirror, and dental floss, and the decayed, missed, and filled (DMF) index of the patients was recorded. The patients also underwent radiography. The reason for composite restoration replacement was recorded. Data were analyzed by independent t-test, Chi-square test, one-way ANOVA, and LSD test (alpha=0.05). Results: Of 231 patients, 104 (45%) were males and 127 (55%) were females. The majority of the patients (27.3%) were between 40-50 years and had Class II malocclusion (62%). The mean DMF of patients was 3.48±1.36. Maxillary anterior teeth comprised the majority of the teeth that required restoration replacement. Secondary caries was the most common cause of restoration replacement (23.4%), followed by a combination of secondary caries and pain or dentin hypersensitivity (15.1%). The reason for restoration replacement had a significant association with age with primary caries being most prevalent in the 41-50 age group (P0.05) but had no significant association with gender or class of occlusion (P0.05). Patients requiring restoration replacement due to primary and secondary caries, and broken or cracked restorations had significantly higher mean DMF values compared to those with other reasons (P=0.031). Conclusion: Secondary caries was the most common reason for composite restoration replacement in the study population, and the reason for restoration replacement had a significant association with age and DMF of patients.
