Prosthodontics is an example of what type of prevention?

Primary
Secondary
Tertiary
Preemptive

The correct answer is: Tertiary

Prosthodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the use of artificial teeth and dental appliances. This type of treatment is considered tertiary prevention as it aims to restore and rehabilitate teeth and structures that have already been damaged or lost. Primary prevention would involve efforts to prevent dental issues from arising in the first place, while secondary prevention would involve addressing early signs of damage to prevent further complications. Preemptive prevention is not a commonly used term in dentistry and is not directly related to prosthodontics.
