Throughout our lives, our teeth help us a lot in our smile, expression, aesthetic posture and the food we take. Thanks to the teeth, we can achieve perfect smiles, fully chew the food we take and convey it to the stomach, and add beauty to our facial expression aesthetically. However, although teeth are so important for our body and our life, we often do not value them as much as they deserve and as a result, we may face some dental problems. As a result of these problems, which we create by not paying attention to what we eat during the day, consuming too much sugar, skipping the rule of brushing teeth 3 times a day and disrupting general care, various stains, gum problems and inevitable caries destroy our oral structure and damage the aesthetic appearance. In order to prevent these, fillings are made to the areas with caries and different methods are developed for other dental problems. The dental filling, which we will talk about in our article, is a treatment method that is frequently performed by our clinic in the Izmir region and is one of the techniques that is satisfied by our patients and ends most of their problems.
This method, which has been used for years, has been made even more perfect with various innovations in recent years.
What is Fill?
Filling is the restoration of the cavity (cavity) that occurs after all the decays and residues in a decaying tooth are cleaned, in accordance with the normal form of that tooth, and with a tissue compatible material that will not cause a problem in the mouth for a long time. It is a method of restoring normal function and appearance to a tooth damaged by caries. When the dentist fills you, he first removes the decayed tooth tissue, cleans the affected area and fills the cavity with filling material. By closing the gaps that bacteria can enter with a filling, the progression of caries is also prevented.
Filling is also applied to teeth that are broken due to wear or various accidents. Nail biting, teeth grinding at night, etc. It causes various cracking or breaking problems.
Patients of all age groups face this problem. Since the filling is a procedure performed under local anesthesia, pain or ache is never felt during the treatment. If you have more than one bruise, fillings can be made between 1-2 sessions.
What are the Types of Dental Fillings?
Among the filling types, amalgam fillings, which are both cheap and durable, have been used for almost a century, but since the mercury in its content is a toxic metal, amalgam fillings have not been preferred thanks to newly developed methods.
The reason why it was preferred a lot in the past was that there was no other alternative and the strength of amalgam to withstand chewing force was high. However, although it was a durable and useful method, it had a bad aesthetic appearance, and as a result, other filling types emerged.
Other filling types used today; Gold, Porcelain (inlay, onlay) and Composite materials.
Since amalgam creates a disadvantage in terms of aesthetics and health, composite and porcelain fillings have started to be used frequently as a result of the searches.
