Background. Limited information is available from randomized clinical trials comparing the longevity of amalgam and resin-based compomer/composite resorations. The authors compared replacement rates of these types of restorations in posterior teeth during the five-year follow-up of the New England Children's Amalgam Trial.Methods. The authors randomized children aged 6 to 10 years who had two or more posterior occlusal carious lesions into groups that received amalgam (n = 267) or composer (primary teeth)/composite (permanent teeth) (n = 267) restorations and followed them up semiannually. They compared the longevity of restorations placed on all posterior surfaces using random effects survival analysis.Results. The average +/- standard deviation follow-up was 2.8 +/- 1.4 years for primary toothe restorations and 3.4 +/- 1.9 years for permanent tooth restorations. In primary teeth, the replacement rate was 5.8 percent of compomers versus 4.0 percent of amalgams (P = .10), with 3.0 percent versus 0.5 percent (P = .002), respectively, due to recurrent caries. In permanent teeth, the replacement rate was 14.9 percent of composites versus 10.8 percent of amalgams (P = .45), and the repair rate was 2.8 percent of composites versus 0.4 percent of amalgams (P = .02).Conclusion. Although the overall difference in longevity was not statistically significant, compomer was replaced significantly mopre frequently owing to recurrent caries, and composite restorations required seven times as many repairs as did amalgam restorations.
