MATERIALS
Dental materials can be classified as:
1. Preventive dental materials.
2. Restorative dental materials.
3. Auxiliary dental materials.
a) Direct restorative materials.
b) Indirect restorative dental materials.

5. 1. RESTORATIVE DENTAL
MATERIALS (CONT.)
Help to repair or replace defected tooth structure.
These include:
1. Amalgam.
2. Bonding agents.
3. Resin based composites.
4. Compomers.
5. Ceramics.
6. Liners.
7. Cement bases.

6. TYPES OF RESTORATIVE DENTAL MATERIALS
a) Direct Restorative Materials:
• Used intraorally
• Fabricate restorations/ prosthetic devices directly
on the teeth or tissues.
b. Indirect Restorative Materials:

7. TEMPORARY RESTORATIVE DENTAL
MATERIALS
Sub category of restorative materials. Intended to
be used to restore the tooth temporarily.
These include:
1. Orthodontic wires .
2. Cements used as temporary liners.
3. Cements used as temporary filling materials.
4. Acrylic resins used for inlays, crowns and fixed partial
dentures.

8. SELECTION OF DENTAL MATERIALS
1. Analysis of the problem.
2. Consideration of the requirements.
3. Consideration of the available materials and their
properties.
4. Choice of a suitable materials.
#Mr_Dentist
9. ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEM
Basic and very important step.
Incorrect analysis may lead to wrong treatment
plan.
Poor prognosis and failure of treatment eg,
Selection of filling materials
#Mr_Dentist
10. CONSIDERATION OF REQUIREMENTS
Enlist the requirement that a material must meet.
Requirements of materials are dependent upon the
situations.
THOROUGH COMPARISON OF PROPERTIES OF THE AVAILABLE MATERIALS
WITH REQUIREMENTS
#Mr_Dentist
11. CHOICE OF THE SUITABLE MATERIALS
Final step.
Narrowing the range of choice.
Availability.
Ease of handling.
Cost effectiveness.

12. IDENTIFICATION OF RESTORATIONS:
Dental Restoration:
Restores function $ appearance of oral structure
last by pathology, injury, or is congenitally missing.
Example
• Pathology – carries filling
• Injury –broken tooth: crown
• Congenitally –missing: prosthetic , Bridge

13. IDENTIFICATION OF RESTORATIONS:
Direct Restoration
A restoration that is created and placed directly into
the prep site of the tooth.
Indirect Restoration
