title: [A clinical study of composite restorations in anterior teeth using the Ryge criteria. Apropos of 120 cases performed at the University Hospital Center in Dakar].
abstract: In this two years retrospective study the authors determined the rate of survival composite restorations and evaluated clinically the remaining restorations by the Public Health Service (P.H.S.) criteria of Ryge. These restorations were performed by students using Heliomolar composite with scotchbond 2 adhesive dentin system. Results have shown that after two years, 98 (81.67%) out of 120 restorations were present and 51.2% were still working. Clinical evaluation of the remaining restorations needed replacement mainly because of severe color mismatch. Anatomic form and marginal adaptation were well scored after two years (score Alpha or Bravo). This study has shown that composite material is a valuable and effective technology for conservative treatment of anterior teeth in Senegal to avoid tooth extractions and prosthetic. However the knowledge about the type of composite material used must be improved and the operative procedures should be more controlled.
