Abstract

Post-restoration care is essential to preserve the integrity and function of dental restorations such as fillings, crowns, and inlays. Effective oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste and daily flossing, are fundamental in preventing secondary caries and periodontal complications. Dietary habits also influence treatment success, with emphasis on avoiding hard or sugary foods and maintaining a nutrient-rich diet that supports enamel remineralization. Patients must monitor for postoperative sensitivity and consult their dentist if symptoms persist. Regular dental visits ensure early detection of restoration failure or surrounding tissue issues. Additionally, understanding the restorative material used helps guide appropriate maintenance strategies. Recent studies highlight the role of the oral microbiome in restoration longevity, suggesting potential benefits of microbiota management through adjunctive therapies. Comprehensive, individualized care post-restoration is crucial for long-term oral health and treatment success.
