title: Dental materials used by general dental practitioners.
abstract: As a follow-up to previous surveys regarding materials used by dentists a total of 1500 questionnaires were distributed to general dental practitioners in private practice. A response rate of 11.8% was achieved. The most popular products used during 1999 were identified. Changes in the choices of materials were observed when compared to previous surveys. This may be attributed to the development of various new products.
