Conservative & Endodontics

Conservative Dentistry is a branch of dentistry which is concerned with conservation of teeth in mouth. Earlier the trend was to randomly extract teeth that were more than a little involved by trauma, caries or infection. But now the aim is to treat, repair and conserve as many teeth as possible. Conservative Dentistry consists of sub specialties of cariology, operative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry and endodontics. Here diseased or fractured teeth are restored with restorative materials that are biologically acceptable and esthetically pleasing.

High tech gadgets like electronic pulp tester, electronic apex locater, digital radiography, high speed rotary instruments, amalgamators etc. are used routinely for diagnosis and treatment.
