Reports the increase in dental restorations and associated caries risk in various age groups, suggesting important implications for dental practices.

The development of secondary caries also appears to be age-dependent. Under real-world conditions, tooth-colored restorations did not exhibit a higher risk of secondary caries than amalgam restorations.
