Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the success rates of compomer restorations applied to pediatric patients treated at the Pedodontics Clinic of Ataturk University Faculty of Dentistry. Methods: Data on compomer restoration treatments applied to primary teeth of patients aged 0– 14 years at the Pedodontics Clinic between 2023 and 2025 were obtained retrospectively from the automation system (Turcasoft software). Statistical analysis of the data was performed using the Chisquare test (p<0.05). Results: The mean follow-up period for 21,464 compomer restorations performed on 12,632 patients was 18.2 ± 10.3 months. Among these, 1,057 (4.9%) restorations failed after an average of 11.9 ± 7.8 months. Of the failed cases, 434 (41.1%) were re-restored, 151 (14.3%) underwent root canal treatment or pulpotomy, and 472 (44.7%) required extraction. The rate of restorations leading to extraction was significantly higher in girls compared to boys (p = 0.03). However, no statistically significant difference was observed between genders in terms of overall failure rates of compomer restorations (p = 0.88). Conclusion: Compomer restorations are a successful restorative material application in primary teeth. As a result of the low rate of failure in this application, these teeth may require extraction, filling replacement or root canal treatment.
