What are the materials for filling teeth?
Many patients in the treatment of dental fillings, often want to be able to use a longer time through this filling.
Therefore, the choice of materials is a difficult problem. We want to use hard and durable filling materials, but we do not know which filling materials can be durable and used for a long time.
So, which filling materials are more practical?
With the development of modern science and technology, the dental filling materials used in medicine have also been greatly improved, and the types of dental filling materials have increased a lot, and the requirements of the majority of patients can generally be met.
For example, silver amalgam, composite resin, glass ionomer cement, stainless steel artificial dental crown, zinc oxide clove oil cement and so on, a wide variety of materials, and the characteristics of these materials are not the same, each has its own characteristics.
The filling material of glass ionomer resin is mainly composed of glass ionomer cement and composite resin, which combines the characteristics of glass ionomer cement and composite resin, and is superior to these two materials, with the advantages of beautiful appearance.
The color of stainless steel artificial dental crown is silver. This material will be inferior to glass ion-cement in color. If it is in a prominent position in the mouth, it will be more obvious, which is not the best choice for patients who value aesthetics.
For zinc oxide cement this material, its characteristics is very special, hardness is low, not suitable for patients used as permanent filling materials, and materials contained in clove oil, can have very good analgesic effect, so is the doctor used to protect the patient’s dental pulp, when sealing drugs to patients may also be used temporarily, after replace with other material come back again.
Because there are a lot of filling materials, so patients can choose according to their own will, but in the choice should also have a general understanding of all kinds of materials in advance, know what kind of materials are suitable for them.
And also combined with the doctor’s opinion, to see what kind of teeth are suitable for their condition, and can be maintained for a long time.
