dental restoration material role
A material to be added role that is born by a portion of material and is realized during a process in which the material plays a role in restoring the tooth. Dental restoration material roles are realized in processes that restore teeth.
Bill Duncan 12/11/2014:
Changed definition to read that a "portion of dental restoration material" is realized by a "tooth restoration procedure".
Bill Duncan 2023-10-17:
A 'tooth' in the definition may be natural or artificial. Also, the material bearing the role does not necessarily have to become part of the tooth.
Titus Schleyer 1/1/2014: updated definition
Bill Duncan 2023-10-17:
Widened the definition to include other materials used in restoration processes (e.g., luting agents).
