Tooth Decay and Restorative Dentistry 1 article

Tooth Decay and Restorative Dentistry connects caries diagnosis with decisions about preserving and rebuilding damaged tooth structure. It spans lesion activity, minimally invasive care, direct and indirect restorations, adhesion, material selection, recurrent caries and restoration longevity, with attention to pulpal protection and biological cost. The focus is disease control and restoration of teeth rather than periodontal therapy, root canal treatment or replacement of missing teeth.
