Roman Era (1000 BC)
Ancient Greek scholars Hippocrates and Aristotle wrote about dentistry, including the eruption pattern of teeth, treating decayed teeth and gum disease, extracting teeth with forceps, and using wires to stabilize loose teeth and fractured jaws. The first use of dental appliances or bridges comes from the Etruscans from as early as 700 BC.  Roman medical writer Cornelius Celsus wrote extensively of oral diseases as well as dental treatments such as narcotic-containing emollients and astringents.
 

Tooth Facts

A dental restoration replaces the shape and function of a tooth.  Restorations are used in situations where much of a tooth is destroyed or missing.  Restorations are more complicated than fillings because so much of the tooth has to be replaced.  A system like the CEREC 3D system allows the dentist to create a restoration in just one visit.
