A dental filling or
dental restoration is a
dental restorative material used to artificially restore the
function, integrity and morphology of missing tooth structure. The structural loss
typically results from caries or external trauma. It is also lost intentionally
during tooth preparation to improve the aesthetics or the physical
integrity of the intended restorative material. Dental
restoration also refers to the replacement of missing tooth
structure by restoring dental implants. |
