The objectives of tooth preparation are all except:
Correct Answer: To retain the defective, injured, or diseased tooth form
Description: Tooth preparation is the mechanical alteration of a defective, injured, or diseased tooth such that placement of restorative material reestablishes normal form (and therefore function) including esthetic corrections, where indicated.
Generally, the objectives of tooth preparation are to
Conserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
Remove all defects while simultaneously providing protection of the pulp–dentin complex.
Form the tooth preparation so that, under the forces of mastication, the tooth or the restoration (or both) will not fracture and the restoration will not be displaced, and
Allow for the esthetic placement of a restorative material where indicated.
