Description
Dental Filling: Restorative Solutions for Optimal Oral Health
Product Overview
A cornerstone of modern restorative dentistry, our Dental Filling solutions are meticulously designed to repair and restore teeth affected by decay, fractures, or wear. By replacing damaged tooth structure, these materials not only re-establish the tooth's form and function but also prevent further deterioration, ensuring long-term oral health and aesthetics. Our comprehensive range addresses diverse clinical needs, offering durability, biocompatibility, and superior patient outcomes.
Key Features & Benefits
- Exceptional Durability: Engineered to withstand the rigors of mastication, providing long-lasting restorations that resist wear and fracture.
- Superior Biocompatibility: Formulated with materials that are safe and well-tolerated by oral tissues, minimizing patient sensitivity and allergic reactions.
- Aesthetic Excellence: Available in a wide spectrum of shades and opacities (for tooth-colored options) to perfectly match natural dentition, ensuring seamless and invisible repairs.
- Excellent Marginal Adaptation: Creates a tight seal with the tooth structure, preventing microleakage, secondary decay, and bacterial ingress.
- High Compressive and Tensile Strength: Provides robust support to compromised tooth structures, restoring chewing efficiency and preventing further breakage.
- Ease of Handling & Application: Designed for optimal working characteristics, allowing for precise placement and contouring by dental professionals.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for a broad range of indications, from small carious lesions to more extensive structural repairs.
- Radiopacity: Allows for clear visibility on radiographs, facilitating easy post-operative assessment and detection of recurrent caries.
Types of Dental Filling Materials
We offer solutions encompassing the primary categories of dental filling materials, each with unique properties catering to specific clinical situations:
1. Composite Resin Fillings
- Description: Tooth-colored plastic and glass mixture that can be bonded directly to the tooth.
- Advantages:
- Aesthetics: Highly natural appearance, virtually invisible.
- Conservative: Requires less removal of healthy tooth structure.
- Bonding: Chemically bonds to the tooth, providing additional support.
- Versatility: Used for both anterior and posterior restorations, aesthetic enhancements, and diastema closure.
- Indications: Small to moderate cavities, chipped teeth, aesthetic restorations, core build-ups.
2. Amalgam Fillings (Silver Fillings)
- Description: A durable and cost-effective alloy of mercury, silver, tin, and copper.
- Advantages:
- Strength & Durability: Exceptionally strong and long-lasting, especially in posterior teeth.
- Cost-Effective: Generally less expensive than other filling materials.
- Ease of Use: Relatively quick and easy to place.
- Indications: Large cavities in posterior teeth, areas requiring high chewing force, situations where moisture control is challenging.
3. Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) Fillings
- Description: A tooth-colored material that releases fluoride, providing therapeutic benefits.
- Advantages:
- Fluoride Release: Helps prevent secondary decay.
- Chemical Bond: Bonds to dentin and enamel.
- Biocompatible: Gentle on pulp tissue.
- Less Technique Sensitive: Tolerant to moisture during placement compared to composites.
- Indications: Pediatric dentistry, non-load bearing areas, root surface caries, temporary restorations, liners/bases.
4. Ceramic (Porcelain) Fillings (Inlays/Onlays)
- Description: Lab-fabricated restorations made of porcelain, offering superior aesthetics and strength.
- Advantages:
- Exceptional Aesthetics: Mimics the translucency and color of natural teeth perfectly.
- High Strength & Durability: Very resistant to wear and fracture.
- Precise Fit: Fabricated indirectly, ensuring an exact fit.
- Indications: Large cavities where a direct filling might compromise tooth strength, cases requiring superior aesthetics and longevity, replacing old fillings.
Indications for Use
- Restoration of carious lesions (Class I-VI)
- Repair of fractured or chipped teeth
- Restoration of teeth affected by abrasion or erosion
- Replacement of old, failing, or discolored existing restorations
- Aesthetic corrections (diastema closure, shape modifications)
- Core build-ups prior to crown placement
- Pit and fissure sealants (for specific materials)
Advantages for the Clinician
- Predictable Outcomes: Reliable performance and patient satisfaction.
- Efficient Workflow: Materials designed for optimal working time and ease of manipulation.
- Comprehensive Solutions: A wide array of choices to address every clinical scenario.
- Compliance: Meets stringent international quality and safety standards.
- Patient Trust: Delivers durable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing results.
Advantages for the Patient
- Restored Function: Enables comfortable and efficient chewing and speaking.
- Improved Aesthetics: Blends seamlessly with natural teeth, enhancing smile confidence.
- Pain Relief: Eliminates sensitivity and pain associated with decay or tooth damage.
- Prevention: Stops the progression of decay, protecting the tooth from further damage or extraction.
- Longevity: Durable restorations reduce the need for frequent replacements.
Technical Specifications (General)
- Compressive Strength: Varies by material, optimized for specific clinical loads.
- Flexural Strength: Resistance to bending forces.
- Wear Resistance: Ability to withstand occlusal forces and abrasion.
- Radiopacity: Minimum 1mm Al equivalent for clear diagnostic visibility.
- Shrinkage (for Composites): Minimized to reduce marginal gap formation.
- Shade Range (for Aesthetics): Extensive options from A1 to D4, plus specialized opaque/translucent shades.
- Setting Time: Controlled for optimal working and curing.
