Operative and Esthetic Dentistry

Operative dentistry is the area of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases. The main objective is to maintain the patient’s oral health, function and aesthetics. A great aspect is understanding biomaterials, incorporating evidence-based dentistry, and using conventional and digital dentistry.
