Abstract
A model of cusp breakdown in the eight functional molars and eight
bicuspids of career officers in military service was developed on the
basis of empirical data obtained from complete dental histories of career
personnel. Using this model and cost estimates of materials and labor,
it was determined that the expected cost of silver restorations will exceed
the expected cost of a gold restoration at a minimum service life
of twenty years with the expected cost of silver restorations becoming
increasingly larger than a gold restoration as service life increases.
