What is composite restoration?

Composite dental restoration is a dental procedure aimed at restoring damaged or destroyed teeth. For this, synthetic polymers consisting of resin and fiberglass particles are used. The dentist carefully selects the color of the composite so that the restored tooth looks natural.
What is composite restoration?

Types of restoration with composite materials

There are two main types of composite restoration – direct and indirect.

Direct dental restoration

Direct technology involves removing damaged tissue, cleaning and preparing the oral cavity for the use of composite. Then, layer by layer, the material is applied to the tooth and modeled. Each layer hardens under the influence of a polymerization lamp. The procedure allows you to restore shape, color and functionality in one visit.

The following materials can be used during direct restoration:

  • Photopolymer fillings. Harden under the influence of light and provide a strong and durable restoration
  • Acrylic fillings. They are used less often due to their lower strength, have lower prices
  • Epoxy fillings. Provides strength, but is difficult to apply

Direct restoration is prescribed to eliminate caries, small chips and other defects of tooth enamel.

Indirect restoration

An indirect procedure involves the manufacture of restorative elements in a laboratory. Then these elements are fixed in the oral cavity.

Indirect techniques include:

  • Inlays. Used for significant damage. Provides high strength and durability.
  • Veneers. Improve the aesthetic appearance of a smile and hide damage. Thin overlays are made from individual impressions and then fixed to the front side of the teeth.

An indirect technique requires several visits to the dentist. The first visit includes preparation and taking impressions. The second is the installation of the finished element.

Our doctors guarantee the high quality and durability of the procedures performed. We provide a professional approach and excellent results for each patient.

General information about the procedure

Indications and contraindications for composite restoration

Indications for the procedure include:

  • Chips and cracks in enamel
  • Gap between teeth (diastema)
  • Darkening of tooth enamel that cannot be corrected by bleaching
  • Mild bite anomalies and minor curvatures

Despite its safety and minimal trauma, composite restoration is not recommended for serious damage to the crown of the tooth. Other contraindications include:

  • Wide interdental spaces
  • Severe bite anomalies, involuntary grinding of teeth during sleep
  • Inflammatory processes in the oral cavity
  • Pregnancy
  • Presence of a pacemaker

In addition, an allergy to the components of the composite is possible. Patients with poor oral hygiene have an increased risk of secondary caries and inflammatory gum disease, which can negatively affect the durability of the restoration.

Advantages and disadvantages of the method

Like any technique, the use of composites in dentistry has its advantages and disadvantages. The main advantages of the technique include:

  • Achieving excellent visual results
  • Restoration of chewing function
  • Quick execution (often only one session with the doctor is required)
  • Minimal damage to healthy tissues
  • Relatively low price
  • Possibility of repeated restoration or replacement of damaged parts

The disadvantages of the procedure include the fragility of the material and a limited service life. The composite retains its original color for about 3-4 years. Over time, it absorbs colors from food and drinks, loses its adhesive properties.

Features of restoration of front and chewing teeth

Restoration of front teeth requires special attention to aesthetics. Dentists use the Vita color matching method so that the restored tooth perfectly matches the natural shade. Composites allow you to achieve a natural shine and transparency of enamel, which makes the restoration invisible. In order for the tooth to fit harmoniously into the dentition, it is important to accurately recreate the anatomical shape.

Unlike the front teeth, chewing teeth need a reliable coating that can withstand increased chewing loads. Strength and durability in this case are ensured by applying a composite with layer-by-layer polymerization.

Nuance! Finishing includes contouring and polishing, which prevents plaque formation and increases the service life of composites.

To correctly determine the color, the teeth are cleaned and moisturized. The process uses techniques that minimize the risk of polymerization separation and ensure a strong connection with dental tissue. Correct placement of the light guide during polymerization guarantees the strength and durability of the composites.

Treatment stages

Composite restoration of teeth in the medical center "K+31" takes place in several stages:

  1. Initial consultation. The doctor examines the oral cavity, identifies bleeding gums, inflammation of the mucous membrane and other pathological conditions that may interfere with the procedure
  2. Preparation. Involves the removal of damaged tissues; formation of a carious cavity for better fixation of the composite; mechanical cleaning of the surface to remove plaque and bacteria; opening of enamel prisms (enamel structures) to improve adhesion of the composite; isolation from saliva (using a cofferdam) and drying; application of a lining and formation of a base, treatment with dental gel, application of a thin layer of adhesive
  3. Tooth restoration. The stage includes the installation of a matrix (for restoration of cavities of II, III and IV classes according to Black) for precise tooth formation; layer-by-layer introduction of composite and polymerization of each layer; removal of the matrix and wedge, additional polymerization of the gingival part of the filling to improve adhesion; formation of the restoration surface, correction of shape and occlusion
  4. The final stage. Processing and polishing are carried out to give a natural shine

After restoration of teeth, it is recommended to undergo a preventive examination by a dentist every six months. If necessary, correction is performed. Layer-by-layer application of composite allows for effective restoration of both baby and permanent teeth.

The procedure is performed using advanced local anesthesia, which makes the process painless and comfortable for the patient. Children can watch cartoons during treatment, which helps them relax and distract themselves from the procedure.

Composite restoration or ceramic veneers?

Composite restoration or ceramic veneers?

Doctors of the K+31 clinic believe that the choice between composites and ceramic veneers depends on the specific clinical situation. The method using composites is a fast and budget method that allows you to restore the appearance and functionality of teeth. However, if the patient has old and dark fillings, visible chips, weak enamel, composite restoration is not performed.

Ceramic veneers offer higher aesthetics, durability and reliability. They are created with high precision in a dental laboratory, which ensures an ideal fit and a natural appearance. Veneers require careful preparation and modeling, including the creation of a wax model for preliminary approval by the patient. This method is more expensive, but allows you to get the best result.

According to our specialists, a detailed examination is necessary to accurately select a treatment method. Diagnostics includes an analysis of the condition of the teeth on models, coordination of all stages of work and, if necessary, the manufacture of temporary structures.
