RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY-I

Course Description

The aim of the course is to equip students with the necessary knowledge so that they will be able to recognize the instruments used in restorative dental treatment, learn the terminology used, gain information about basic cavity principles, and learn caries and caries factors in detail. Furthermore, the course will enable the students to describe tools used in restorative treatment, know the definition, history, theories, terminology and etiology of dental caries, explain terminology used in restorative treatment, define caries classification, Black principles and Black classification, identify Enamel, Dentin, Cement structure and Caries Histopathology, deficit dental plaque and saliva-caries Relationship, and comprehend Microorganisms that play a role in caries and the side factors that play a role in caries.
