Conclusions Filler sizes and aging procedures influenced the optical and surface properties of the nanostructured composites evaluated in this study.

Agreement Among Dentists’ Restorative Treatment Planning Thresholds for Primary Occlusal Caries, Primary Proximal Caries, and Existing Restorations: Findings from The National Dental Practice-Based Research Network
Conclusions Dentists who recommended repair rather than replacement of existing restorations were significantly more likely to recommend later treatment of primary caries. Conversely, dentists who recommended treatment of primary caries at an earlier stage were significantly more likely to recommend replacement of the entire restoration. Between-dentist agreement for primary caries treatment was better than between-dentist agreement for repair or replacement of existing restorations. Clinical Implications: These findings suggest consistency in how individual dentists approach the treatment of primary caries and existing restorations. However, substantial variation was found between dentists in their treatment decisions about the same teeth. (Source: Journal of Dentistry)
