Composite Resin-Popular Dental Restorative Material

Table of Contents

Dental restoration  usually  can save tooth

The tooth is usually advised to be saved through dental restoration as much as possible, unless severe tooth decay has reached the deepest parts of the tooth and tooth extraction will help stop the spread of infection and the pain.

For dental restoration, the choice of restorative material is very important. There are usually several factors to consider, aesthetics, durability, cost, and individual constitution. With the development of materials science, composite resin is popular in tooth restoration.

Composite resin is popular in tooth restoration

Composite resins are normally made up of a mixture of carbon, glass, and boron fibers. And some special composite resins may include an addition of ceramic or zirconia micro stones. When it is applied to the teeth, the composite is activated and shaped.

Composite resin can be closely matched to the color of natural teeth, providing a highly aesthetic and natural appearance. This makes them particularly desirable for restoring visible teeth. Composite resin are also versatile and can be used for various types of dental restorations, including fillings, veneers, inlays, onlays, and bonding. They are suitable for both anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth. While it is slightly less durable than amalgam and porcelain,composite resin restorations can be easily repaired if they chip or wear down, unlike some other materials that may require complete replacement.

Compared to other materials like amalgam or porcelain, the application of composite resin often requires less removal of the natural tooth structure. This conservative approach preserves more of the original tooth. The procedure for applying composite resin is generally quicker and can often be completed in a single visit. The material is applied in layers and hardened with curing  light, allowing for immediate use.

Composite resin bonds directly to the tooth structure, which can help to support the remaining tooth and prevent breakage. The strong adhesive bond reduces the likelihood of further tooth damage and improves the durability of the restoration. Composite resins have better thermal insulating properties compared to metal-based restorations, which can reduce sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures.

Although slightly more expensive than amalgam fillings, composite resins are generally more affordable than other restorative options like porcelain or zirconia .

Simple ways to avoid staining

Maybe someone will say composite resins are susceptible to staining. This is indeed its disadvantages. But there are simple ways to avoid it. Keep up with your soft brushing and flossing schedules, get regular dental cleanings to control plaque buildup, avoid foods and drinks that stain teeth and rinsing your mouth after eating or drinking.
