Are all chipped teeth treated the same even if size is different? can you share some sources?

Dr. Theodore Davantzis answered

Specializes in Dentistry

No, not the same: No two restorations are exactly the same. The technique to restore the tooth is similar, but a determination needs to be made as to the cause of the fracture and any underlying problem. A tiny chip on an otherwise healthy tooth is treated differently than a chip over a deep carious lesion.
