Dental restoration refers to the various procedures used to repair damaged or missing parts of the teeth. These interventions aim to restore the tooth's original form, function, and appearance, thereby preventing issues like sensitivity, structural failure, and infection. Methods employed include the placement of dental fillings, which use materials ranging from composite resins to amalgam, for minor decay. For more extensive damage, crowns, bridges, and inlays are utilized, involving the construction of artificial replacements or structural supports. The selection of the restorative material depends on factors such as the tooth's location, the extent of the damage, and the mechanical stresses it must endure, ensuring durable and biologically integrated outcomes.
