title: [Criteria of success or failure in conservative dental treatments].
abstract: Any restorative procedure which is not effected with clinical precision and with due consideration to the principles of preventive dentistry is bound to fail. The main causes of failure, whether direct or indirect, are iatrogenic and can be avoided. Restorative procedures may be qualified as a success when a favorable, durable result is obtained. This result depends partly on the technique employed and partly on the products used, products which are too often tardively and insufficiently tested. This state of affairs underlines the urgent necessity of introducing standardized clinical controls for all new dental products.
