Abstract
Restorative denistry may be considered as a form of bio-engineering, in which fundamental biological features must predominate, and set the limits within which operative procedures can be conducted. The art is primarily concerned with the treatment of caries or traumatic injuries to the teeth, and with the replacement and maintenance of the dentition.
