COSMETIC FILLINGS
To treat a cavity your dentist will remove the decayed portion of the tooth and then "fill" the area on the tooth where the decayed material once lived. Fillings are also used to repair cracked or broken teeth and teeth that have been worn down from misuse (such as from nail-biting or tooth grinding).
What Steps Are Involved in Filling a Tooth?
First, the dentist will numb the area around the tooth to be worked on with a local anesthetic. Next, a drill, air abrasion instrument or laser will be used to remove the decayed area. The choice of instrument depends on the individual dentist's comfort level, training, and investment in the particular piece of equipment as well as location and extent of the decay. Next, your dentist will probe or test the area during the decay removal process to determine if all the decay has been removed. Once the decay has been removed, your dentist will prepare the space for the filling by cleaning the cavity of bacteria and debris. If the decay is near the root, your dentist may first put in a liner made of glass ionomer, composite resin, or other material to protect the nerve. Generally, after the filling is in, your dentist will finish and polish it. Several additional steps are required for tooth-colored fillings and are as follows. After your dentist has removed the decay and cleaned the area, the tooth-colored material is applied in layers. Next, a special light that "cures" or hardens each layer is applied. When the multilayering process is completed, your dentist will shape the composite material to the desired result, trim off any excess material and polish the final restoration.
After this you can add that matter on the two types of fillings.
Composite Resin:
Made of: A mixture of plastic and fine glass particles.
Types: Direct or indirect
Used for: Small and large fillings, especially in front teeth or the visible parts of teeth; inlays
Lasts: At least five years
Advantages
- Your fillings or inlay will be invisible. Your dentist chooses a resin that matches the color of your teeth.
- A filling can be completed during one dental visit. An inlay may require two visits.
- Composite fillings can bond directly to the tooth, making the tooth stronger than it would be with an amalgam filling.
- Less drilling is involved than with amalgam fillings because your dentist does not have to shape the space as much to hold the filling securely. The bonding process holds the composite resin in the tooth.
- Indirect composite fillings and inlays are heat-cured, increasing their strength.
- Composite resin can be combined with glass ionomer to provide the benefits of both materials.
Glass Ionomer
Made of: Acrylic and a component of glass called fluoroaluminosilicate
Types: Traditional, resin-modified or hybrid composite, metal-reinforced
Used for: Most commonly used as cementation for gold inlays, but is also used for fillings in front teeth. As filling material, glass ionomer is typically used in people with a lot of decay in the part of the tooth that extends below the gum (root caries). It is also used for filling baby teeth and as a liner for other types of fillings.
Lasts: Five years or more
Advantages
- Glass ionomer matches the color of the teeth, although it does not always match as precisely as composite resin. Resin-modified glass ionomer is usually a better match than traditional glass ionomer.
- In some cases, no drilling is required to place a glass ionomer filling. This makes this type of filling useful for small children.
- Glass ionomers release fluoride, which can help protect the tooth from further decay.
- Glass ionomer restorations bond to the tooth, helping prevent leakage around the filling and further decay.
