Modern restorative dentistry: a new approach.

R L Macchi

    International Dental Journal
    |June 1, 1988
    PubMed
    Summary

    Restorative dentistry has evolved from replacing teeth to advanced treatments that preserve natural tooth structure and prevent decay. Modern techniques aim to eliminate the need for complete tooth loss, making advanced care accessible to all.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of historical developments in restorative dentistry.
    • Analysis of new materials and procedural advancements.
    • Examination of preventive measures like pit and fissure sealing.

    Main Results:

    • Modern restorative dentistry now prevents total edentulism (complete tooth loss).
    • Procedures focus on microscopic/chemical adhesion and preserving healthy tooth structure.
    • Preventive measures protect teeth before lesion initiation.

    Conclusions:

    • Restorative dentistry has transformed oral healthcare, significantly reducing complete tooth loss.
    • Continued development of materials and techniques is crucial.
    • Ensuring community-wide access to modern restorative dentistry is a key responsibility.
