Summary

The aim of this prospective, randomized clinical trial was to assess the effectiveness of repair of localized clinical defects of amalgam restorations that were initially scheduled for replacement of restorations. A cohort of 20 patients with 40 (Class I and Class II) amalgam restorations, that presented one or more clinical features that deviated from the ideal (Bravo or Charlie) according to USPHS criteria, were randomly assigned to either, the repair or replacement group: A: repair n= 19 and B: replacement n=21. Two examiners who had calibration exercised evaluated the restorations at baseline and ten years after according to seven parameters: marginal occlusal adaptation, anatomic form, surface roughness, marginal staining, contact, secondary caries, and luster
