Restorations are an example of what type of prevention?

Primary
Secondary
Tertiary
Quaternary

The correct answer is: Secondary

Restorations are an example of secondary prevention because they involve fixing or replacing damaged or decayed teeth before the issue becomes more severe and requires more invasive treatment, such as extraction or root canal therapy. Primary prevention involves preventing disease or injury before it occurs, while tertiary prevention involves managing and treating a disease or injury that has already occurred. Quaternary prevention is a relatively new concept that focuses on reducing the harm caused by unnecessary or excessive healthcare interventions. Therefore, the other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the type of prevention that restorations fall under.
