Dental restoration is a process during which teeth damaged by decay, fracture, wear or injury are repaired. Here is some information about dental restoration:
⚫Causes of tooth damage:
Caries: As a result of bacteria gathering on the surface of the teeth and their secretion of acids that lead to the erosion of the enamel layer and the formation of holes.
Fracture: May occur as a result of injury, exposure to severe pressure, or an incorrect bite.
Corrosion: It can be the result of excessive intake of acidic foods and drinks or other acidic effects.
⚫Restoration techniques:
Dental filling: Filling materials such as amalgam or cosmetic resins are used to repair holes caused by caries.
Crown and Bridge: It is used to completely cover damaged teeth with a crown or to cover the gaps between teeth with a bridge.
Custom Fixtures: Used to permanently restore the form and function of missing teeth.
⚫ Restoration procedures:
Treatment begins with evaluating the affected teeth and determining the appropriate treatment plan.
Caries is removed and the teeth are prepared to receive restorative materials.
The restorative material is applied and shaped to fit the tooth.
The shape and appearance are corrected to ensure a natural and attractive appearance of the teeth.
Restoring teeth enhances their function and appearance and restores the patient’s self-confidence.
