Preserving dentine is crucial for tooth strength and restoration survival. This study proposes a new index to objectively assess remaining coronal dentine for better treatment planning.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Dental Materials Science
  • Restorative Dentistry

Background:

  • Tooth strength relies heavily on remaining dentine.
  • Preserving coronal dentine is vital for the longevity of dental restorations.
  • Current assessment of tooth structure relies on subjective clinical opinion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review published recommendations for assessing remaining tooth structure.
  • To propose a novel index for evaluating the restorability of a tooth.
  • To enhance objective treatment planning in restorative dentistry.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recommendations for assessing coronal dentine.
  • Development of a quantitative index to evaluate dentine's contribution to restoration stability.

  • Discussion of the index's potential clinical application.

    • Main Results:

    • Existing clinical assessments are subjective.
    • A new index can quantify the amount and strategic value of remaining dentine.
    • The proposed index aids in evaluating resistance and retention form.

    Conclusions:

    • An index for assessing remaining coronal dentine can improve treatment planning.
    • Objective assessment of dentine is valuable for restorative decisions.
    • This index may enhance the predictability of intra- and extra-coronal restorations.
