title: Urgent treatment in operative dentistry.
abstract: This article has described the treatment for a variety of restorative situations requiring urgent treatment. Successful management of these situations begins with a thorough knowledge of their possible causes and is reinforced by a careful history and a complete examination using all available diagnostic tools. By applying modern treatment modalities we have the ability to reduce the pain and discomfort associated with urgencies classified as restorative in nature.
