Overview

Conservative dentistry, also known as operative dentistry, focuses on preserving the natural tooth structure and preventing the need for more extensive dental work.

This branch of dentistry encompasses a range of treatments such as direct and indirect restorations, root canal therapy, and surgical procedures, all aimed at maintaining the health and integrity of the teeth within the mouth.

One of the primary goals of conservative dentistry is the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of dental caries, commonly known as cavities, and other defects of natural teeth. By addressing these issues in their early stages, dentists can often prevent further damage and restore the affected teeth to full function and aesthetics.

The emphasis is on preserving as much of the healthy tooth structure as possible and routine follow ups. Endodontics, a subspecialty within conservative dentistry, focuses on treating diseases and injuries to the dental pulp, the innermost layer of the tooth.

This often involves root canal therapy, a procedure in which the infected or inflamed pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. Endodontists may also perform surgical procedures to address more complex cases or manage traumatised teeth.

Conservative dentistry and endodontics require a high level of precision, skill, and logical reasoning, thus making the professionals of this specification the most crucial dentists in the field of dentistry. This branch revolves around the primary objective of conservation and perseverance.

The dentists carefully assess each case and curate the most adequate treatment plan to achieve the desired outcome.

This involves a combination of invasive and minimally invasive techniques, depending on the severity of the issue and the patient's individual needs.

Overview

Besides medical treatments, aesthetician considerations also hold essentiality in conservative dentistry, as patients today place a high value on their facial appearance.

As a result, dentists not only repair and restore damaged teeth but also ensure that the end result looks as natural and attractive. This may involve using tooth-coloured materials for fillings and restorations or employing advanced techniques to enhance the overall aesthetics of the smile.
