2. Dental restoration - Wikipedia

   Another consideration is unsupported tooth structure. When preparing the tooth to receive a restoration, unsupported enamel is removed to allow for a more predictable restoration. While enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, it is particularly brittle, and unsupported enamel fractures easily.

   The maintenance and repair of human tooth enamel is one of the primary concerns of dentistry. In humans, enamel varies in thickness over the surface of the tooth, often thickest at the cusp , up to 2.5 mm, and thinnest at its border with the cementum at the cementoenamel junction (CEJ).

4. Remineralisation of teeth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remineralisation_of_teeth

   Tooth remineralization is the natural repair process for non-cavitated tooth lesions, [1] [2] in which calcium, phosphate and sometimes fluoride ions are deposited into crystal voids in demineralised enamel. Remineralization can contribute towards restoring strength and function within tooth structure.

5. Crown (dental restoration) - Wikipedia

   Crown used as part of implant restoration. Crowns are indicated to: [2] [3] [4] Replace existing crowns which have failed. Restore the form, function and appearance of badly broken down, worn or fractured teeth, where other simpler forms of restorations are unsuitable or have been found to fail clinically.

6. Glass ionomer cement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_ionomer_cement

   Cermets, which are essentially metal reinforced, glass ionomer cements, used to aid in restoring tooth loss as a result of decay or cavities to the tooth surfaces near the gingival margin, or the tooth roots, though cermets can be incorporated at other sites on various teeth, depending on the function required. They maintain adhesion to enamel ...

   The restoration is then light-cured in the tooth before being removed from the tooth to be further light-cured. [31] Prior to cementation of the restoration onto the prepared the tooth, the layer of separating materials needs to be removed to ensure effective bonding between the tooth and the restoration. [31]
