Endodontics (Tooth Filling Procedure)

The objectives of the measure:

Aims cavity fillings (Cavity) to repair damaged teeth, which suffered damage as a result of the gradual erosion of the external layers of the teeth - the enamel, ivory, and grout. Usually gets teeth damage as a result of decay - a bacterial accumulation layer, because of the low level of hygiene in the mouth.

When decay penetrates the fabric of the outer teeth, it is advisable to pre-treat inflammation and permanent damage to the pulp tissue (the tissue that contains the roots of nerves and blood vessels), or broken teeth.

This is called preventive treatment called "dental fillings." It includes: Open Age, remove decay, remove tissue damaged teeth, the tooth is drilled allows filling industrially. The final stage, include a special material to fill age.

Signs of damage to the external layers of teeth include: tooth pain or extreme sensitivity to heat or cold. In the worst cases, when there is active inflammation or nerve injury, it is possible to get the swelling of the gums or neck.

Sometimes, teeth fillings are used to repair cracked or worn teeth, not only for the treatment of the accumulation of bacterial plaque (plaque). This process is called "the process of the restoration of teeth."

Ready for action:

About mostly, is a dental filling operation under local anesthesia, but it is also set to be held under full anesthesia. Before dental amalgams, the doctor usually asks the patient to hold X-ray of the teeth, or a special camera (panoramic image), for the diagnosis of dental disease accurately (so as to ascertain if there was a disease of the teeth sharper than the visible, which requires some sort different from the treatment, for example: the treatment of nerve proactive).

In general, healthy people do not need to take additional steps preparatory private. But the people at risk of infections of heart valves (endocarditis), as is the case for owners of industrial valves, and patients who have undergone a heart transplant, and so on, to inform the dentist in order to get antibiotics before the operation.

The process:

Is a dental fillings in the dental clinic in conditions of complete sterilization, and performs this padding Dentist. Sometimes, the padding process that takes more than one session, in the case of a number of teeth that need treatment.

First place are anesthetized topically, which can cause some pain. The first phase of treatment include tooth enamel open and remove the decay that has accumulated in it and around it, and by means of special tools. After it is removed tissue damaged teeth (usually because of decomposition) drastically.

In this way, the doctor may be equipped with the cavity in the tooth, so that he could filling a special material. This preparation dig through layers of old age and the formation of the internal building is allowed to fill it.

After this, the doctor enters the filling pressurized (removable pressure), made of amalgams (collection bomb - a mixture of metal with mercury). The introduction of layers of padding slowly, in order to allow each layer to dry and is closing because the best image.

In the last stage of the procedure, polished dentist residue material, so that the form of the age and performance due to the natural state that existed before the implementation of the fillers (as possible). This procedure takes a period ranging from twenty minutes to half an hour for each age.

Risk measure

General risks:

Pollution - usually a superficial contamination, and is treated topically. But in some rare cases, it is possible to get more serious pollution, may penetrate the bloodstream (sepsis / septicemia), as it is possible to reach the heart valves (endocarditis), and others. But it rarely calls the reopening of age to remove bacterial residues.

Bleeding - especially in the place of surgery, as a result of localized damage to the tissue. It is possible to get the bleeding immediately after surgery, 24 hours after the surgery, or even after several weeks or months in some rare cases. When one gets the bleeding of small blood vessels shattered at the gums and starts bleeding. In cases in which intensifies the bleeding must be discharged. But it is rare.

Anesthesia risk - often such phenomena caused by sensitivity to anesthetics. In very rare cases, it is possible to get a serious reaction lead to a drop in blood pressure (anaphylactic shock - Anaphylactic shock).

Risks related to the kind of dental treatments:

Nerve injury in neural tube - damage can cause partial or complete loss of sense of taste - rare.

Sensitivity to heat / cold in the oral cavity - if they are not sufficiently shut age, but they are rare in the wake of Statistics padding process.

Post process:

Is not needed for the survival of the patient under observation after dental treatment. You should avoid eating or drinking for two hours until the anesthesia ends.

It is possible that the patient is suffering from pain in the region, especially during the first day after dental treatment. You can use painkillers as needed.
