Replacing a filling-: While all that is necessary is to remove the existing composite filling and not any tooth structure, not only is it difficult to be exact, but often we want to reach new enamel for the best bond, and may even want to refine the preparation slightly. The additional amount is negligible.

Hard to say: Depends on if there is recurrent decay. Every effort will be made to maintain healthy tooth structure.
