Conclusions The present findings suggest that variables related to type of dental service, dental caries (higher DMFT index), and cavity characteristics (tooth type, size) determine the choice of dentists for restorative materials. Other individual characteristics such as demographic and socioeconomic status have not influenced this choice. Clinical Significan This is the first population-based study that assesses the determinant factors for the choice of dentists for composite or amalgam in posterior direct restorations, showing that, independently of socioeconomic and demographic characteristics, type of payment of dental services and clinical factors are associated with this choice.

Conclusions Intriguingly while not statistically significant, 21 day plaque contained less fluoride than those investigated after 7 days. While the data was not statistically significant, it seems possible that F, Ca and PO4 accumulated around the device to a limited extent but were washed away fairly quickly and distributed around the oral cavity. Clinical importance The FSSRD was found to reduce dmfs/DMFS by 76% and raise salivary F levels by ?10 folds. This device is very helpful in reducing dental decay where compliance is impaired such as in patients with special needs. This study further investigates the anti-cariogenic effect of this device.
