Photopolymer Filling
A photopolymer filling is a restoration made from a composite material that hardens under a special curing light. It allows the dentist to restore the tooth’s shape, seal, and function after removing decay-damaged tissue, replacing an old filling, or treating minor tooth damage.
For information about changing the shape, length, or appearance of the front teeth, please visit the Aesthetic Dental Restoration page.
Advantages of a photopolymer filling
The advantage of photopolymer restoration of anterior teeth is the short production time (one visit) with the help of a light-curing composite. The plasticity of the material allows you to create and restore the tooth to its original shape and aesthetics. If necessary, the tooth’s color and length can be changed according to the patient’s request or the standards of smile aesthetics.
Stages of execution:
- discussion of the patient’s wishes and indications for the procedure;
- photo protocol;
- fitting of templates of the desired restoration color;
- anaesthesia;
- isolation of the working field;
- removal of old fillings and carious lesions;
- layer-by-layer restoration of the tooth surfaces;
- placement of the restoration in optimal contact;
- grinding and polishing of the composite;
- recommendations for the home care of restorations.
A filling placed in a timely manner helps restore the tooth’s shape and function and prevents further damage to its tissues. Arrange a consultation so the dentist can assess the tooth and recommend the most appropriate restoration method.
