摘要

Aim It is the aim of this paper to present a history of the measurement of restoration survival in teeth in the earliest recorded work.

Methods The literature on restoration survival from 1969 until the development of large datasets was reviewed, using examples drawn from the intervening decades.

Conclusions A number of early clinicians realised the importance of measuring longevity of dental restorations and managed to produce information which was likely to be of value at the time of its publication. However, the work involved in the collection and analysis of such information in the pre-computer era should not be underestimated: it was a true labour of love.
