Filling of the tooth is the optimal treatment for caries . However, it can be different in technology, as well as the type of materials used.
Treatment and sealing of teeth
Optimal is to start the treatment of the tooth during the appearance of a dark spot, when the caries has not yet penetrated the tooth tissue. But most often the patient turns to a specialist at a later date, when the filling should be more profound.
The whole process of tooth filling can be divided into the following stages:
- Preparation or preparation of the tooth (expansion of carious cavity and removal of damaged tissues).
- Filling the cavity with filling material.
- Grinding.
- Polishing or Finishing.
There are different types of materials for tooth filling:
- temporary;
- interlining;
- for filling tooth channels;
- constant.
Temporary and interlining materials are placed during the period of dental treatment, for example, with a fairly deep caries or removal of canals. They are intermediate, and also play the role of protecting the cavity of the tooth during the period of its complete treatment. As materials for filling channels use a variety of cements, pastes, pins. Constant same seals can be:
- cement;
- metal;
- glass ionomer;
- compositional.
Cement for sealing teeth is still used, despite its fragility and low strength. This is because the material is fairly easy to use and cheap. Although it is worth noting that today its quality has become much better.
Filling of anterior teeth
It is worth saying that the treatment of anterior teeth on the technique of filling has its own characteristics. Due to the fact that the loads when chewing on these teeth are minimal, the main attention is paid to its aesthetic appearance. It is also very important tight fit of the seal to
Most experts put special light-cured fillings. They allow you to restore the shape and color of the enamel.
The most new and acceptable method of treatment is the use of a ceramic seal , which is absolutely impossible to distinguish from a healthy tooth. It is put then, when it is not advisable to apply the light flap, or the client does not want to see the intervention of the dentist.
The filling of the front teeth requires special diligence, dexterity and experience from the specialist, as this is a rather complicated process from the point of view of aesthetic appearance.
