Study Notes
Restorative Dentistry
- Gold has the advantage of being more conservative in tooth preparation.
C Factor in Dental Restorations
- C factor is a measure of the ratio of bonded to non-bonded surfaces in a restoration.
Definition of Operative Dentistry
- Operative Dentistry is the art and science of the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of defects of teeth that are affected by caries, trauma, or other diseases.
Dental Amalgam Restorations
- Mercury is used in combination with other metals to form dental amalgam restorations.
Etiology of Dental Caries
- The etiology of dental caries involves the interaction of bacteria, fermentable carbohydrates, and host factors.
Objectives of Tooth Preparation
- The objectives of tooth preparation are to remove decay, establish a cavity form, and prepare the tooth for the restorative material.
Disadvantages of Dental Amalgam Restorations
- One disadvantage of dental amalgam restorations is the release of mercury.
Advantages of Resin-Based Composite Restorations
- One advantage of resin-based composite restorations is their esthetic appeal.
Indications for Composite Restorations
- One indication for a composite restoration is a small to moderate-sized cavity in a visible area of the mouth.
Non-Carious Loss of Tooth Hard Tissue
- Attrition is an example of non-carious loss of tooth hard tissue.
Purpose of Operative Dentistry
- The purpose of Operative Dentistry is to restore teeth to their normal form, function, and aesthetics.
Stages of Dentin Caries
- The stages of dentin caries are demineralization, penetration, and cavitation.
Disadvantages of Dental Amalgam Restorations
- Another disadvantage of dental amalgam restorations is the risk of galvanic shock.
Pit and Fissure Sealants, Preventive Resin Restoration (PRR), and Composite Restoration
- The difference between a pit and fissure sealant, preventive resin restoration (PRR), and composite restoration is that a pit and fissure sealant is a preventive measure, a PRR is a minimally invasive treatment, and a composite restoration is a restorative treatment.
C Factor in Dental Restorations
- The C factor is higher in class I and II restorations compared to class III, IV, and V restorations.
