Notes outline various reinforcement techniques used in restorative dentistry, focusing on preserving tooth structure and function. They introduce the SMARTE restorative approach, which involves steps like structured preservation, monoblock buildup, and adding fibers to enhance the tooth's structural integrity. The text details different force and resistance scenarios—specifically Force less than Resistance, Force equals Resistance, and Force greater than Resistance—correlating them with the need for adhesive restorations and specific reinforcement methods like adding glass or polyethylene fibers for cuspal resistance. Finally, the document covers several reinforcement strategies beyond initial buildup, including cuspal capping, total capping using crowns, endocrowns, or overlays, and encircling axial walls for badly destroyed teeth.
