What is the life expectancy of an amalgam restoration?
The average lifespan of amalgam is roughly 22.5 years, as indicated by research, with certain studies noting an annual failure rate of 3%. In the past, early composite resin materials exhibited failure rates nearing 50% within a decade. However, advancements in newer products have significantly enhanced their longevity and performance.
Why do dentists want to replace old fillings?
