Should our Restorations Follow Textbook Anatomy? Tooth Morphology - PS005

When restoring molars, should we always try to recreate textbook anatomy? (spoiler: NO WAY!) What preventive measures can we use for toothwear? Tooth Morphology in the Real world!

In this episode, Emma Hutchison and I explored the nuances of practical tooth morphology. Textbooks provide us with idealized versions of dental structures, but how do these perfect images translate into real-life practice? Can and should we aim to replicate these diagrams exactly in our dental work?
