Study Notes
Dental Restoration
- Material used to restore missing or damaged tooth structure, ensuring function, integrity, and morphology.
Requirements for an Ideal Restoration
- Stop further damage (decay, erosion, abrasion, attrition, or fracture).
- Restore normal tooth function (cutting, tearing, or mastication).
- Restore speech if parts of the hard tooth structures are missing.
- Maintain a natural and pleasing appearance (esthetic).
- Protect the integrity of the dental arch and supporting structures (periodontium).
- Withstand normal chewing forces without fracturing.
- Preserve the health and vitality of the pulp.
- Maintain a consistent relationship with surrounding teeth.
Factors Influencing Restoration Material Selection
- Factors concerning the available restorative materials.
- Factors concerning the patient.
- Factors related to the dentist (operator).
Assessment of Restorative Materials
-
Biocompatibility: How well the material interacts with the body and tooth systems.
- Metals (like gold foil and amalgam) conduct heat, potentially irritating the pulp.
- Resin composites can cause leakage and irritation.
- Glass ionomers have better biologic compatibility due to bonding with surrounding teeth and minimal setting expansion.
- Ceramic restorations (castable) are biocompatible due to their thermal insulation.
-
Physical Properties:
- The material should not dissolve in oral fluids.
- The material must adhere to the surrounding tooth structures to prevent microleakage (preventing future problems).
- The material should withstand chewing and biting forces.
-
Aesthetic Properties:
- The material's color, texture, and surface should closely match natural tooth structure to maintain a natural appearance.
- Porcelain restorations provide ideal esthetics.
- Resin composites are highly esthetic, though discoloration can occur over time.
- Glass ionomers are tooth-colored but less aesthetically appealing than ceramics or resin composites.
-
Dimensional Stability: The material should not significantly change size or shape after placement in the cavity.
-
Ease of Manipulation: The material should be easy and convenient for the dentist to work with and apply (not require special equipment or extensive preparation).
Patient Factors
- Age: Young patients may tire easily; those of advanced age may require shorter procedures.
- Occupation: Some occupations (e.g., manual labor) may impact the desired restoration type.
- Sex: Often, female patients prioritize esthetic restorations.
- Oral Hygiene: Good oral hygiene is crucial for the success of any restoration.
- Conditions: Pre-existing conditions like gum disease, bruxism, and cavities complicate considerations.
- Physical Condition: Individuals with greater physical limitations may prefer shorter treatments.
- Financial Factors: Patients' budgets will influence material choices.
- Educational Level: A patient's understanding of the procedures and available options can affect decision-making.
Dentist (Operator) Factors
- Knowledge of Materials: A dentist should be familiar with all restoration materials and their ideal applications.
- Skill: A dentist should proficiently handle and manipulate restorative materials.
- Patient Communication: Clear communication with the patient is essential, ensuring understanding of options and expectations.
