Comparison of treatment times for repair and replacement: A cross-sectional study
Objective
This cross-sectional study analyzed and compared the treatment time for dental students to perform different restorative procedures (repair or replacement).
Material and methods
This study used secondary data from patients treated in a randomized controlled trial (CaCIA). The time (in minutes) was monitored by the operators/assistants, performed between 2016 and 2022. The operator's level during the procedures was categorized into third, fourth, and fifth years. Since procedure times were not normally distributed, non-parametric tests were applied: Mann-Whitney U for two-group comparisons (repair × replacement) and Kruskal–Wallis for comparisons across student years, followed by Bonferroni-adjusted pairwise Mann-Whitney tests when p < 0.05; 95 % confidence intervals for means were also calculated.
Results
A total of 117 procedures were analyzed: 76 repairs (mean 110.2 ± 29.4 min) and 41 replacements (mean 128.4 ± 30.9 min). Repairs in molars averaged 109.2 ± 32.0 min, while replacements in molars averaged 130.9 ± 34.4 min, showing a significant difference (p = 0.015). Repairs averaged 112.2 ± 23.8 min for premolars, while replacements averaged 122.5 ± 20.1 min, with no significant difference observed (p = 0.248). Comparisons between third, fourth, and fifth student groups demonstrated significant differences in repair (p = 0.001) and replacement (p = 0.012) times, with final year students completing procedures faster.
Conclusion
Repairs require significantly less time than replacements, particularly for molars. Additionally, the variation in time required by students from different academic levels underscores the relevance of technical skills and experience in reducing procedural duration.
Clinical relevance
This study highlights the clinical advantages of repair over replacement in restorative dentistry, particularly regarding time efficiency. Repairs not only require less time than replacements, especially for molars, but also align with the principles of minimally invasive dentistry by preserving tooth structure.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Dentistry has an open access mirror journal The Journal of Dentistry: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The Journal of Dentistry is the leading international dental journal within the field of Restorative Dentistry. Placing an emphasis on publishing novel and high-quality research papers, the Journal aims to influence the practice of dentistry at clinician, research, industry and policy-maker level on an international basis.
Topics covered include the management of dental disease, periodontology, endodontology, operative dentistry, fixed and removable prosthodontics, dental biomaterials science, long-term clinical trials including epidemiology and oral health, technology transfer of new scientific instrumentation or procedures, as well as clinically relevant oral biology and translational research.
The Journal of Dentistry will publish original scientific research papers including short communications. It is also interested in publishing review articles and leaders in themed areas which will be linked to new scientific research. Conference proceedings are also welcome and expressions of interest should be communicated to the Editor.
