A member asked:
Would a class 5 ever needs to be reshape after 3 years? my periodontist told me to go back to my general dentist to get it reshape.

Possibly: The restoration can potentially "percolate" out of the preparation, causing a bacterial and food trap. Ask your periodontist for further clarification since they examined you.
