Original Title:
Dental amalgams compared with composite resin
Authors' objectives:
To optimize the clinical and Canadian contextual relevance, as well as the scientific rigour of this Health Technology Assessment (HTA), its aim is to inform the policy question through a comparative assessment of dental amalgam and the most commonly used alternative (composite resin). Specifically, the HTA will address the comparative efficacy and safety, cost-consequence, patient perspectives and experience, ethical and implementation issues, and the environmental impact of dental restorations made of amalgam versus composite resin for the treatment of dental caries. An analytic framework for the HTA can be found in Appendix 1.
