In dentistry, restoration is the reconstruction of a portion of a tooth damaged by any cause. Allows you to stop caries, keep the tooth, and regain its form and function by substitution/replacement of damaged/lost tissue with alloplastic and biocompatible materials.
Restations can affect one or more surfaces of a tooth and the most common types are:
- Fillings.
- Veneers.
- Inlays & onlays.
