Restorative dental treatment is the repair and treatment of the hard tissue losses in the teeth that occur due to caries or reasons other than caries. It is a dental treatment that restores the patient’s aesthetic appearance and functional loss.
People of all ages, professions, and genders can easily opt for it . restorative dental treatment can also be applied to children and the elderly. The materials used during restoration are biocompatible ones that provide an aesthetic appearance and do not damage the teeth. With the biocompatible materials used, losses on the hard surface of the tooth due to various reasons are treated and a pleasant appearance and a beautiful smile are produced.
Tooth decay can be defined as the destruction of the enamel, which is the hard tissue of the tooth, the dentin under it, and the hard tissue that sometimes covers the root surface. arbohydrate-containing foods (sugar, starch, etc.), sugary carbonated drinks such as cola and cola, cake, chocolate, etc. can trigger tooth decay. It occurs especially when sticky food comes into contact with the tooth surface for a long time.
Tooth decay has different stages and each presents different symptoms and risks. When the decay first appears, there are few symptoms. As it progresses in size and the bruise grows, it causes sensitivity to hot and cold food as well as sugar. Sometimes tooth decay causes constant pain. If left untreated, the tooth becomes infected as decay reaches the nerves. Infection in the tooth can cause an abscess that can cause severe pain, swelling of the face, and fever. If there is still no intervention in the later stages, this may require root canal treatment or tooth extraction.
Yes. effectively brushing the teeth twice a day, using the right toothpaste and brush recommended by the dentist, regular care with dental floss and mouthwash, going to a dentist every six months are the processes that can be taken to prevent tooth decay
Treatments applied in this area:
It is a mixture of different organic and inorganic fillers. They are defined as white fill because it is as white as the teeth. Composite fillings can be successfully applied on the front and back teeth due to their resistance to chewing pressures, abrasion resistance, and close to tooth color. The biggest advantage of these fillings is that they are aesthetic. In addition, since these fillings are well connected to the teeth, they support the dental tissues and prevent fractures and heat. Composites can be used not only to restore caries but also for cosmetic effects by changing the color and shape of teeth. The most important disadvantage is that there may be sensitivities after the procedure. The colors of the fillings may change slightly over time by the food that causes discoloration like coffee and tea.
Composite fillings are placed in the gap formed after the carious tooth tissue is removed, and each layer is hardened with a special light. When this process is finished, composite fillings are shaped and adjusted according to the tooth. The durability of composite fillings in the mouth is approximately 7-10 years. With these materials, huge losses in the front teeth can be restored, so it should be known that the patients’ attention to biting will extend the life of these restorations. The thing to be careful about in teeth restored due to abrasion is to use toothbrushes that are not too hard. These recommendations also apply to large anterior restorations.
In cases of excessive tooth damage, it is very difficult, and often impossible, to fully contact the classical fillings with neighboring teeth. With such a filling, food is stuck between two teeth, causing an uncomfortable feeling for patients and weakening gum health. Inlay and Onlay restorations are the process of filling the cavity formed after the diseased tooth tissue is removed with restorations produced in the laboratory. These filings are applications that make a very important contribution to the restoration and protection of a diseased tooth. Today, materials such as composite and porcelain are mostly preferred for inlay and onlay fillings, which are completely customized and made according to the tooth state. Inlay and Onlay fillings are used as a good solution in cases that cannot be restored with classical filling methods, but because it is better to do the restorative treatment by removing dental tissues at a minimum level, it is used as a good solution in cases where tooth coating is not preferred.Teeth Whitening Process The whitening procedure can be applied to teeth that are colored for structural and environmental reasons, with various materials. With bleached teeth, more aesthetic smiles can be produced. This treatment option can usually be applied to all young and adult patients who have completed their tooth growth, but it will be very good to apply in healthy mouths to avoid problems such as tooth sensitivity. Therefore, other dental treatments of the patient should be completed before the whitening procedure.
There are two types of teeth whitening procedures. The first is the office-type treatment method. An intense gel is used for this type of whitening. Office type whitening can be made with two or three sets of procedures in one session and the tooth color can be lightened. Very successful results are obtained. Before tooth whitening is done, the tartar is cleaned. Before the application, the patient’s teeth are isolated. A protective gel is also applied to the gum. After this stage, whitening gels are applied to the tooth surfaces. If necessary, the whitening process may take two or three sessions at regular intervals. The difference is observed after the gel on the teeth is cleaned. It will be useful to wait 24 hours to fully see the effect of bleaching. With this method, it is usual to whiten the teeth within an hour.The second is home teeth whitening. A special whitening plate is prepared by the dentist for the patient. With the use of bleaching drugs for a certain period of time (8-16 days),. Combined bleaching methods, in which the home and office types of the patients are made together, depending on the tooth color that has been preferred in recent years.
If anesthesia is applied, you should avoid eating and drinking until the anesthesia is gone. If the anesthesia is not applied, you are allowed to eat and drink. Oral hygiene is very important at this stage, otherwise, decay may develop again under the composite filling over time and may result in filling failure.
In some cases, a temporary sensitivity may develop right after treatment. Sensitivity may take 6-8 weeks depending on the condition of the tooth. In case of an ongoing pain after this period, the patient can revisit the dental treatment room again. Consuming tea, coffee and cigarettes, can result in discoloring over time, these discolorations can be removed by the dental polishing process that the dentist can do.
After the anesthetic is eliminated (drowsiness), food and drinks are allowed. There may be cold tingling for 6-8 weeks. If the temporary filling is broken and falls, the patient should revisit the dental treatment room again.
Due to the regeneration (repair) ability of the tooth and the oral care of the patient, this treatment may not always be successful. If severe and persistent pain occurs in the tooth during this period the root canal treatment is done. Otherwise, surgical treatment is considered.
