title: [Indications for and evaluation of filling therapy].
abstract: An explanation of the goal of filling therapy is followed by guidelines relevant to the indications for plastic fillings (silver-tin amalgam, silicate cement, composites) and inlays (metal and porcelain inlays) with special regard to the properties of the filling materials (colour, chemical and physical properties), the extension of the cavity and the condition of the pulp. Practice-oriented conclusions mark the end of the paper.
