[Failure-time analysis of extensive amalgam restorations].

Statistical methods of survival-analysis were applied to investigate the "life-time" of three types of class II amalgam restorations: 1355 F3-, 355 F4-amalgam filling, 108 TMS-pin-retained extensive amalgam restorations and 222 single crowns of a total of 630 patients of a private dental office. After 8 years of service about 50% of the extensive amalgam fillings, but 12% of the single crowns were still under risk.

[Problem of compliance from a clinicians point of view].

Dental treatment can only be successful in the long run if the patient cooperates with the dentist. A sound dentist-patient relationship is the basic prerequire for patient compliance. This will influence the organisation in the dental office as well as the course of treatment. Each patient should be seen as an individual and not as a treatment case. The resulting additional work can be only be coped with if qualified dental staff is available.
