Conservative Dentistry
Conservative Dentistry
Also known as operational dentistry and bridge dentistry, conservative dentistry encompasses the comprehensive management of dental caries aftermath. It encompasses methods and protocols for reinstating lost or impaired dental tissues on singular teeth. The spectrum spans from caries prevention and remineralization techniques for initial carious lesions to intricate restorative interventions. With a core principle of preserving maximal healthy tooth structure during restoration, conservative dentistry stands as an intrinsic dental aspiration. This domain encompasses diverse forms of direct and indirect tooth restorations, alongside the practice of operational dentistry and endodontics, aligning with the holistic preservation of oral health.
