Abstract :

One of the most frequent procedures that dentists undertake is posterior restorations. The selection of material for posterior restorations is a multifaceted process that relies on several aspects, including the particular requirements of the patient, the dentist’s experience and inclinations, and the material’s cost. Amalgam and composite resin are the two materials most frequently utilized for posterior restorations. Amalgam is well-known for its longevity and toughness and has been used for a long time. However, some patients may find the metallic substance to be visually unattractive. Compared to amalgam, composite resin is more cosmetically pleasant because it is a tooth-colored substance. However, it could need to be changed sooner because it is not as long-lasting as amalgam. The usage of composite resin for posterior restorations has shifted in recent years. This is caused by several things, such as patients’ growing aspirations for aesthetics and the advancement of composite resin materials. This study was out to find out which posterior restorative materials dentists in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia preferred. Determine the elements that dentists consider while selecting a posterior restorative material. In Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, a cross-sectional survey of 47 dentists was carried outThe questionnaire collected data regarding the dentists’ sociodemographic traits, their professional background, and their material preferences for posterior restorative procedures. For posterior restorations, composite resin was cited as the material of choice by the majority of dentists (50%). Glass ionomer cement (20%) was the most preferred option, with amalgam coming in second (30%). The longevity of the restoration (90%), its aesthetic appeal (80%), and its cost (70%), were the most often cited reasons affecting the dentists’ decisions regarding the material. The patient’s age and oral health, the dentist’s experience and preferences, and the cavity’s location and size were all significant additional factors.
