Abstract

The aim of our study is to evaluate and analyze the opinion amongst Bulgarian dentists from Varna and Sofia about the materials and methods used for ret- rograde obturation. The results are based on the an- swers amongst 120 dentists on an individual question- naire for a period of 60 days. The survey was conduct- ed during scientific and educational events in the city of Varna and Sofia.
The results show that 43% of the dentists usual- ly perform a retrograde cavity for a retrograde filling. 54% of the respondents observe better outcomes in cas- es without retrograde obturation or do not find a dif- ference between the two methods. 57% use MTA for retrograde filling and 13% still use amalgam, despite its proven disadvantages.
