Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry is getting popularity day by day in the world now. Basically, ‘restorative dentistry’ is a specialization of the medical discipline called the dentistry. Through performing these techniques the function of the ‘dentition’ is being restored. For your further information, dentition is the process of growth of the teeth and their array inside of the mouth. Now, this article is all about the various types of the restorative dentistry. But it is better to state that some other branches of the ‘dentistry’ are directly related to the ‘restorative dentistry’. So it will be correct to mention the links between those branches with the restorative dentistry, which are often considered as the different types of the restorative dentistry. Those branches of dentistry are prosthodontics, endodontics, and periodontics.
Firstly, we should tell about the endodontics. This is a specialization of the field of the dentistry. In fact, the endodontics could be considered as a sibling of the ‘restorative dentistry’. This dentistry technique cures the problems related to the ‘tooth pulp’ and the surrounding tissues of the tooth root. The tooth pulp consists of the nerves, venules, and arterioles along with the ‘fibrous tissues’ and the ‘lymphatic tissues’. Since the injured or the diseased tooth pulps are unable to cure them, this discipline of the medical science is very much important. Through the techniques of the endodontics the inner tooth bleaching is done, by which the inner black spots of the teeth are cured.
‘Prosthodontics’ is also a branch from the field of dentistry and could be considered as the sibling of the restorative dentistry. The person who practices the ‘prosthodontics’ is known as the ‘prosthodontist’. This field of dentistry is directly related to the esthetic, implant and some reconstructive techniques. In this technique of the dentistry the oral functions are restored through the use of the ‘prostheses’ creation and some other restoration procedures. The restoration procedures include the techniques like the crowns, complete dentures, and most importantly the supported or the retained restoration techniques.
Periodontics or the periodontal therapy is another section of the dentistry, which is completely related to the restorative dentistry. The periodontics is known as the branch of the dentistry, which deals with the structures of the teeth. Through periodontics, the structural problem of the teeth is cured also. While treating the problems of the structures of the teeth, it becomes important to cure surroundings and the ‘supporting tissues’ of the teeth. The supporting tissues include the gums, cementum, periodontal ligament and the alveolar bone. In broader sense, periodontics in the dentistry technique that cures the structural problems of the teeth and the problems related to the surroundings of the teeth. That is why the periodontists often perform the techniques like the ‘gum recession’ and the ‘surgical placements’ to give the well-shaped structure of the teeth to their patients.
No it should be noted that almost all the sections of the dentistry (like cosmetic dentistry, pediatric dentistry or the children dentistry) could be related to the restorative dentistry. But we mentioned three major sections of the dentistry, which have the relations with the restorative dentistry at most. So hope now you have enough idea about the types of the restorative dentistry.
