Reshaping teeth, replacing missing teeth and managing dental
disease
Restorative dentistry is the study, examination and treatment
of diseases of the oral cavity, the teeth and their supporting structures.
Restorative Dentistry includes the dental monospecialties of endodontics,
periodontics and prosthodontics (including implantology), and its foundation is
based upon how these interact in the management of cases requiring multifaceted
care.
Restorative
Dentistry is a dental specialty that is largely based in the hospital
environment that deals with a wide variety of diseases of the oral cavity.
Consultants and specialists in Restorative Dentistry play an important pivotal
role in the provision of treatment for Hypodontia in that they are involved
throughout treatment in decision making for the final position of teeth moved
by orthdodontics and then provide restorations to fill spaces or to reshape the
teeth.
Restorative
treatment can be provided by all grades of dentist but ideally should be
planned in the hospital environment under supervision of a consultant in the specialty.
