FILLINGS
Dental fillings are composite materials used in dentistry to restore and repair damaged, decayed or discolored teeth. These fillings are composed of a mixture of glass or ceramic particles and a type of plastic called polymer.
It is important to note that the use of dental fillings should be performed by a dentist or dental specialist. In addition, measures should be taken to maintain good oral hygiene and a healthy diet to keep teeth and gums in good condition.
PURPOSE
Dental fillings are used for the following purposes:
Tooth decay restoration: dental fillings are used to repair teeth that have decay. After removal of the decay, the composite material is applied in the tooth cavity to restore the tooth's form and function.
Fracture repair: Dental fillings are also used to repair fractured teeth. The composite material is applied to the fracture to bond the fragments together and restore the tooth's form and function.
Gap closure: Dental fillings can be used to close spaces between teeth. A thin layer of resin is applied to the surface of the tooth to fill the space and improve the appearance of the smile.
Changing the shape or size of teeth: Dental fillings can be used to change the shape or size of teeth. This can improve the appearance of the teeth and smile.
