Composite
fillings are normally used for cosmetic enhancements and for the repair and
restoration of a damaged, repaired, fractured or decayed tooth. These
composites can also be used as a restorative material or an adhesive in
dentistry.
Composite
fillings are made up of powdered glass and acrylic resin.
Anterior Composites
These
are fillings which are done on the anterior teeth like the canines, the central
and lateral incisors.
Procedure For Anterior Composite Filling
- The decayed tooth is removed and cleaned
- Special bonding agents are applied to the cavity; the bonds are responsible for binding the filling to the tooth structure
- The dentist applies the filling to the prepared area and shapes it to match the natural shape of the tooth
- A curing light is used to solidify the filing
- The dentist polishes the cured tooth to make it smooth and to give it an appearance that look like the rest of the tooth
Posterior Composites
Unlike
Anterior Composites, Posterior Composites are done on the posterior teeth like
the molars and the premolars of both arches.
Procedure For Posterior Composite Filling
- Just
like in Anterior composite filling, the decayed tooth is removed and prepared
- A
bonding fluid is applied and used to attach the filing to the tooth structure
- The
dentist fills the cavity with the composite filling and shapes it to match the
natural shape of the tooth
- A
curing light is used to strengthen the shaped composite filling. The filling is
then smoothened, polished to give it a finished look.
