Conservative dentistry is that discipline that is concerned with treating teeth affected by caries or damaged by trauma, erosions or abrasions.

Teeth affected by carious or traumatic pathology can be reconstructed directly or indirectly according to the size of the cavity to be restored. The former are performed directly by the dentist, in the patient's mouth (using composite fillings). The latter are made in the laboratory by the dental technician with different materials, indicated by the dentist, and then cemented in specially prepared cavities in the tooth (ceramic or composite inlays).

However, conservative dentistry not only restores normal chewing function by reconstructing compromised elements, but can optimize aesthetics.

Among the treatments used by conservative dentistry we find mainly fillings, inlays and reconstructions, and the revolutionary 3 Step technique.

The 3 Step Technique is a technique that provides a conservative approach for the resolution of complex cases of erosive or bruxist patients, it is so called as it is carried out in 3 different steps. It is a revolutionary approach that allows restoration of the overall aesthetic and functionality to the patient's mouth, without removing dental tissue, by simply by adding material by means of adhesive techniques
