First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study surveyed 323 licensed Egyptian dentists to understand their attitudes and practices regarding repairing old dental fillings instead of replacing them. The goal was to see how well dentists follow the modern, tooth-preserving approach of minimally invasive dentistry. Participants answered a questionnaire about their knowledge and choices when faced with a damaged filling.
