Tooth Colored Restorations
Tooth Coloured Restorations are fillings used to treat cavities, broken or chipped teeth.
Tooth-Coloured Restorations can be made from GIC filling material or light-cured composite resins. Composite resins are available in various shades, ensuring better acceptability to your aesthetic considerations. For those seeking dental implants, tooth-coloured restorations are a great option for maintaining both functionality and appearance in dental treatments.
Advantages
Conservative method of restoration compared to conventional restorative material
- Easy to repair
- Fluoride release in the filling can prevent further cavities
- Natural appearance
Disadvantages
- Not as strong as metal restorations
- More expensive
- Stains quickly
Glass Ionomer or GIC Restorations
Glass ionomer is a self-adhesive filling material widely used to restore your tooth. It contains a powder and liquid system. The GIC powder contains fluoro-alumino-silicate glass powder, and the GIC liquid contains polyacrylic acid liquid. The powder and liquid can be mixed in a 1:1 ratio to attain a thick consistency and can be directly placed over the prepared cavity.
For patients seeking comprehensive dental care, Richardsons offers the best dental implants in Bangalore, ensuring top-notch solutions for tooth restoration alongside the use of advanced materials like glass ionomer for cavities.
Glass ionomer cement is thermally compatible with less toxicity and provides fluoride release, which helps prevent the progression of further cavities. However, the mechanical performance of the material is often low, leading to fractures if used in class two cavities. In such situations, the sandwich technique is a reliable option. Your dentist will use a layer of glass ionomer cement as the base of your restoration to maintain fluoride release, and composite filling material can be placed on top. It is available in A1 and A2 shades.
If you’re considering best dental implants in Bangalore, glass ionomer restorations can complement your smile makeover.
Composite or Light Cure Resin Material
Another tooth-colored material that can give your teeth a natural appearance, even after breakage or decay. These come in tube form with various shades ranging from A1, A2, A3, A3.5, B1, B2, B3, etc. Depending on the patient’s natural teeth shade, we can choose the color of the filling material to ensure a seamless match.
Steps in Composite Filling
- Cavity Preparation: Remove all the carious parts using a bur and spoon excavator. If it’s a fractured tooth, follow the guidelines for fractured tooth preparation.
- Isolate the Tooth: Isolation is necessary when working with composite material, as it is technique-sensitive. Any contamination can lead to failure of the restoration. You can use cotton rolls, pellets, or a rubber dam (recommended for better isolation).
- Etch the Enamel Surface: Apply 37% phosphoric acid over the enamel surface for 30 seconds. Afterward, wash it off with water using a three-way syringe.
- Application of Bonding Agent: Apply a thin layer of bonding agent over the etched surface, blow it using the three-way syringe, apply one more layer, and cure it using a light cure unit.
- Incremental Adding of Light Cure Resin: Ensure your isolation is good enough, then add small amounts of composite resin. Condense it with a ball burnisher, check for voids, and cure it for 30 seconds. Repeat this process, adding small amounts of composite until the shape matches the natural morphology of the tooth.
- Polishing: Use a composite polishing kit to polish the restoration.
