What is a composite dental filling?
Composite dental filling is the choice for filling cavities or replacing chipped or broken tooth structure, which includes the use of a mixture of plastic resin and ceramic compounds such as silicate. It has advantages and disadvantages over the use of traditional metal amalgams for tooth repair that dentists have used for the last 150 years. One of the most common reasons why composite dental filling is used is that it can be shaped and colored to accurately match the appearance of natural teeth. As a result, its primary function, which has a replacement for visible front teeth in the mouth that is part of a person's smile. The reason was the fact that the composite material itself was not strong enough to stand on the ground pressure of the stools in the back of the mouth, so it was not suitable for repairing the teeth of everything. Advances in composite dental compounds since 2008 have made it possible to use them for teeth at any point in the mouth. Despite these improvements, howevere more susceptible to fission and other degradation than metal amalgams and have a typical life range of about five years compared to 10 to 20 years for metal fillings.
Metal amalgams are usually a combination of silver, tin and copper associated with about 50% mercury. Such silver fillings are stronger than composite dental fillings and cost about half than composites, but if metal gold -based amalgams are used, cost savings are negated. They mention the silver fillings with age, which makes them attractive to many people who want their teeth to look the cleanest and natural as possible.
Further restriction of the installation of composite dental refills in the mouth is THV areas must be relatively dry for the resin to be properly set, and this is a difficult process to keep near the back of the mouth where the stools are located. Improvement of the composite formula was limited when overcoming their original disadvantages and since 2011Most dental insurance plans only cover the installation of composite dentures in the front of the mouth. This area includes a top six incisors and cuspids as well as two bicuspids next to them.
The value of the composite dental filling is the value of a cosmetic nature. They can be a partial exchange for damage to the teeth, which closely correspond to the original dental material in the appearance, and the resin chemically connects to the teeth structure to strengthen it. Unlike amalgams, they can be used to repair finely chipped, cracked or worn vertical parts of teeth that would look unnatural if they were repaired metal inlay. Some dental procedures also allow to maintain more original Tuoth with composite repair, although the actual dental procedure takes longer than repair with traditional metal amalgam.
