RECENT CONCEPTS IN RESTORATIVE
DENTISTRY
Operative dentistry:
Is the art and science of the diagnosis,
treatment and prognosis of defects of teeth
that do not require full coverage restorations
for correction.
Check occlusion
CLASS III CAVITIES
Carious lesions on the proximal surfaces of
anterior primary teeth sometimes occur in
children whose teeth are in contact and in
those children who have evidence of arch
inadequacy or crowding.
If caries is not extensive, disking by sand
paper disc is performed to remove the
decay, and then fluoride is applied topically
If the carious lesion not involves the incisal
angle, a small conventional Class III cavity
may be prepared and the tooth may be
restored with glass ionomer or composite
resin.
The same basic principles for permanent
anterior teeth should be considered in a
primary teeth, modified, of course, by the
size of the pulp and the relative thinness
of the enamel. If it is necessary we modify
the Class III cavities with the use of
dovetail on the lingual or occasionally on
the labial surface of the tooth.
Because of the narrow labiolingual width of
the primary incisor teeth, the Class III
preparation is very difficult to perform and
often needs a labial or lingual dovetail to
gain access and aid in retention of the
restoration.
The distal surface of the primary canine
is a frequent site of caries attack
CLASS IV CAVITIES
In these cavities caries involves the incisal
proximal angle of the anterior teeth. The
principles in the cavity preparation are the
same of the cavity preparation in
permanent teeth
In regular class IV cavity preparations,
composite resin material can be used for
restoration.
CLASS V CAVITIES
The Class V cavities are realized more
frequently in buccal surface of the primary
canines.
