Operative Dentistry Department
Operative dentistry
is the area of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment,
and prevention of diseases or trauma to teeth. Treatment focuses
primarily on restoring teeth from dental caries (tooth decay),
trauma, and tooth wear. Typically treatment involves intra-coronal
plastic restorations (fillings) and results in the restoration
of proper form, function, and esthetics while maintaining the
physiological integrity of the teeth in harmonious relationship
with the adjacent hard and soft tissues.
