Problems associated with restorative dentistry

Veterinary dental restorative problems, although not as involved as those in human dentistry, can be very technique sensitive and difficult to resolve. The resolution of particular problems usually depends on the choice and imagination or inventiveness of the operator. Restorative problems are usually those of a mechanical or iatrogenic nature rather than medical or pathologic. The restoration of the coronal aspect of endodontically treated teeth, teeth with carious lesions, coronal defects, and missing teeth constitute the bulk of restorative problems.
