• Durability & Longevity: Formulated with high-strength materials that resist wear, fracture, and degradation, ensuring long-lasting restorations under various oral conditions.
• Biocompatibility: Materials are rigorously tested and selected for their excellent biocompatibility, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions and ensuring patient safety and comfort.
• Enhanced Patient Comfort: Reduces post-operative sensitivity and irritation, contributing to a more comfortable patient experience both during and after the procedure.
• Optimal Handling Properties: Designed for ease of use, offering excellent sculptability, non-stick properties, and ideal working times for precise and efficient placement.
• Radiopacity: All materials are radiopaque, allowing for clear visibility on X-rays for accurate diagnosis and monitoring of restoration integrity.

Available Material Types

We offer a diverse portfolio of filling materials to suit a wide spectrum of clinical indications and patient preferences:

1. Composite Resin Fillings (Tooth-Colored)

• Description: Modern, aesthetically pleasing resin-based materials that bond directly to the tooth structure. They are light-cured and come in a wide range of shades to match natural teeth.
• Key Benefits:
  • Natural Aesthetics: Blends seamlessly with surrounding tooth structure, ideal for visible areas.
  • Conservative Preparations: Requires less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to amalgam.
  • Strong Bond: Chemically bonds to the tooth, enhancing structural integrity and preventing microleakage.
  • Mercury-Free: An excellent choice for patients concerned about metal content in their restorations.
  • Versatility: Suitable for both anterior and posterior teeth, small-to-moderate restorations.
• Applications: Treatment of dental caries, restoration of chipped or fractured teeth, diastema closure, minor cosmetic corrections, replacement of old amalgam fillings.

2. Amalgam Fillings (Silver Fillings)

• Description: A time-tested, durable, and cost-effective restorative material composed of a mixture of metals, primarily silver, tin, copper, and mercury.
• Key Benefits:
  • Exceptional Durability: Highly resistant to wear and fracture, especially under heavy chewing forces.
  • Long-Lasting: Proven longevity with decades of clinical success.
  • Cost-Effective: A more economical option compared to composite or ceramic restorations.
  • Moisture Tolerance: Performs well in areas that are difficult to keep completely dry during placement.
• Applications: Large posterior restorations, load-bearing areas, situations where moisture control is challenging, cost-sensitive treatments.

3. Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) Fillings

• Description: A self-curing material that bonds chemically to tooth structure and releases fluoride over time, offering therapeutic benefits.
• Key Benefits:
  • Fluoride Release: Helps prevent secondary caries (decay around the filling).
  • Biocompatible: Gentle on pulp tissue and well-tolerated by surrounding soft tissues.
  • Chemical Adhesion: Bonds directly to enamel and dentin without requiring a separate bonding agent.
  • Good for Primary Teeth: Often used in pediatric dentistry due to its therapeutic properties and ease of use.
• Applications: Restoration of primary teeth, non-load-bearing restorations, cervical lesions, temporary restorations, liners/bases under other filling materials.

4. Ceramic (Porcelain) Fillings (Inlays/Onlays)

• Description: Custom-made restorations fabricated in a dental lab from high-strength ceramic materials, then bonded into the prepared tooth. They are often referred to as indirect fillings.
• Key Benefits:
  • Superior Aesthetics: Unmatched translucency and natural appearance.
  • Excellent Strength: Extremely durable, comparable to natural tooth enamel.
  • Precision Fit: Laboratory fabrication ensures an exact fit.
  • Biocompatible: Highly tissue-friendly.
• Applications: Large restorations where significant tooth structure has been lost, replacement of large amalgam fillings, when a crown is not fully indicated.

Technical Specifications (General)

• Setting Mechanism: Light-cured (Composite), Self-cured (Amalgam, GIC).
• Shade Matching: Comprehensive shade guides available for composite and ceramic options.
• Compressive Strength: High, designed to withstand occlusal forces.
• Wear Resistance: Excellent, ensuring integrity over time.
• Polishing: Achieves a smooth, high-gloss finish for optimal aesthetics and plaque resistance (Composite, Ceramic).
• Storage: Refer to individual product specifications for optimal storage conditions.

Indications for Use

• Treatment of carious lesions (cavities)
• Restoration of fractured, chipped, or abraded tooth structures
• Replacement of old, failing, or discolored restorations
• Correction of minor cosmetic defects and irregularities
• Blocking out undercuts or as a base/liner in deep preparations

Application Protocol

• Cavity Preparation: Meticulous removal of carious tissue and shaping of the cavity.
• Isolation: Effective isolation of the tooth from saliva and moisture.
• Bonding (for Composite/Ceramic): Application of appropriate adhesive system to create a strong bond.
• Material Placement: Controlled placement and sculpting of the filling material.
• Curing/Setting: Light-curing for composites, self-setting for amalgam/GIC.
• Finishing & Polishing: Contouring, adjusting occlusion, and polishing to achieve a smooth surface and optimal aesthetics.

Patient Care & Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of dental fillings, recommend patients:

• Maintain excellent oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing.
• Attend routine dental check-ups and professional cleanings.
• Avoid chewing excessively hard foods, ice, or non-food items.
• Address habits like bruxism (teeth grinding) with nightguards if necessary.
