1. Direct Restorations Overview

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Overview of direct restorations: Procedures where restorative materials are applied directly into a prepared tooth cavity within the mouth, restoring function and aesthetics in a single visit.
  • Steps involved in direct restorations: The sequence of clinical procedures including preparing the tooth, placing the restorative material, and finishing the restoration.
  • Materials used in direct restorations: Substances such as composite, glass ionomer cement, hybrid materials, and amalgam, which are applied directly into the tooth cavity to restore its structure and function.
