Teeth filling
Caries is a dental disease that damages the enamel layer. Various methods can be used to counteract the development of pathogens. One effective method of stopping the progression of bacteria is a tooth filling. This dental procedure allows the dentist to restore the anatomical shape of the organ with a filling material. A filling can be placed using a variety of methods and is therefore considered the best treatment for tooth decay or pulpitis. Properly performed dental treatment is the key to the health of the oral cavity and the entire human body. Denta PRO Clinic uses innovative treatment methods in order to preserve and strengthen the patient's teeth. Timely visits to dentists for preventive examinations help to preserve dental health for years to come.
Why do I need a tooth filling?
A dental filling plays a major role in restoring the integrity of the crown of a tooth. It allows you to completely reconstruct the damaged structure of the organ and protects entire tissues from damage and reproduction of harmful microorganisms caused by decay. Bacteria attack the coating of the tooth and gradually destroy it. A second breeding ground for germs is found in the acids found in fruits. In some cases, a filling will need to be placed without decay.
A filling is placed when dental diseases are detected:
- various stages of caries;
- pulpitis;
- periodontitis;
- retreatment for recurrence of caries;
- destruction of an old filling;
- reconstruction of the structure due to a crack, chipping;
- enamel wear and tear.
Types of dental fillings
The dental disease determines what type of filling will be placed. Dentists fill teeth with materials for temporary use and regular use. The degree of decay affects the filling process, which can be done in 1 or 2 stages. Two-step treatment is done for deep caries or pulpitis. On the first day of the visit to the dentist, the pulp is devitalized and medication is placed. The dental cavity is sealed with a filling material for a certain period of time, calculated for the effect of the medication. This manipulation is necessary to protect the cavity from the ingress of food and secondary infection.
A permanent filling is placed under these circumstances:
- treatment of caries with second stage complications;
- restoration of tooth function after injuries without damage to the inner cavity;
- treatment of caries without complications in one stage.
Types of filling material
Modern restorative materials come in many varieties. The dentist who treats caries decides which one to use.
Photopolymer products
Photopolymers are a unique filling material, which is the most popular among the leading dental clinics in Ukraine. Photopolymer fillings are used by dentists if the damage to the tooth is not characterized by a large area.
Photopolymers are distinguished by a number of advantages:
- durability;
- variety of shades of material;
- possibility of polishing;
- a beautiful gloss that lasts for a long time;
- high aesthetic qualities;
- safety;
- wear resistance - the material is not prone to chipping and abrasion;
- long service life.
The innovative photopolymer material is perfectly matched to natural enamel and does not differ from it in properties.
Glass ionomer materials
Glass ionomer cement fillings are used by dentists because of their high strength, hardness and long service life.
Cement-based restorative material is widely used in the following categories of dental offices:
- pediatric dentistry - the filling is placed on deciduous teeth;
- prosthodontics - cement reliably fixes crowns, pins and inlays of all kinds;
- orthodontics - the filling material holds orthodontic constructions.
Glass ionomer fillings are widely used for sealing fissures and reconstruction of dental residual limbs.
Glass ionomer cements are characterized by the following advantages:
- adheres well to the dental tissue without additional chemicals;
- additional functions - it protects against cavities through fluoride extraction;
- easy to apply;
- contrasting in the light of X-rays;
- blends perfectly with the biological elements;
- perfect aesthetic appearance.

Inlays are considered prosthetic dentistry products. They are used by dentists to reconstruct the shape and function of the dental crown. Inlays are used when the tooth structure is severely damaged and a filling cannot be placed. They are made of different quality materials by applying CAD/CAM technology. Denta PRO dentists use inlays made of zirconium that are produced in a private laboratory and are very important in the correction of defects in large cavities, partial destruction of the tooth as a result of mechanical damage, wedge-shaped abnormalities, or enamel dysplasia, hypoplasia.
The use of inlays in dentistry has the following advantages:
- accurate reconstruction of the tooth;
- corresponds to the shade of tooth enamel;
- prosthodontists make designs in different shapes;
- reliability;
- durability;
- durability.
Because of these properties, zirconia inlays are used to maintain healthy teeth for a long period of time.
Stages of tooth filling
At Denta PRO Dental Clinic, teeth are filled in stages.
- Preparatory measures are carried out - enamel is cleaned, its shades are determined.
- Anesthesia is administered.
- The tooth is isolated by applying cofferdam.
- The dental crown is prepared, carious tissues are removed, the cavity is formed.
- The cavity walls are dried and etched.
- Healing pads are placed.
- A matrix is placed.
- Composite is applied in layers and polymerized with a special lamp. 9.
- The reconstructed part is grinded and polished to a high gloss.
To place a glass ionomer cement filling, the same steps are taken as with photopolymer fillings - preparatory work, anesthesia, isolation and therapeutic measures. In the final step, the dentist prepares the filling and places it in the tooth cavity.
Using special matrices, the contact surface of the tooth is shaped for the application of the cervical area. In the final step, the excess material is removed and the surface is grinded.
How is a tooth restored with an inlay?
The application of inlays for dental restorations proceeds according to the following algorithm:
- a three-dimensional scan is performed;
- the tooth is modeled;
- the microprosthesis is fabricated;
- the inlay is tested and adjusted to restore the correct bite;
- the construction is fixed with a special glue;
- the rest of the glue is removed, the material is processed.
Damage to the dental crown signals how many stages the treatment will take. The dentist will make the right decision and inform his patient about it.
