Tooth Colored Cosmetic Composite Fillings & There Applications
The dental composite filling, is a white tooth colored filling material, utilized for cosmetic dental restorations. Composite fillings may be used in the situations of a broken tooth or teeth, enamel fractures, cracked teeth, chipped teeth, space closures, and teeth affected by decay, lost or broken fillings and trauma. The decay of the tooth, week unsupported tooth structure and weaken enamel is removed at the time the tooth is prepared for the filling to be placed by the dentist and dental team. The tooth is treated with antibacterial agents, dental bonding and enamel bonding agents and is finally restored using the adhesive like cosmetic composite filling. The Composite filling is the placed in the tooth, sculpted, shaped, contour and cured utilizing ultraviolet light curing technology to set and harden the filling prior to finishing and polishing the final restoration. The Final filling is check so that the proper biting relationship is established and is comfortable for the patient. The composite materials are utilized in a variety of cosmetic dentistry applications. They range in color and cosmetic characteristics to match the patients individual tooth and the bioesthetic properties of each.
IS DENTAL AMALGAM A GOOD ALTERNATIVE FOR A FILLING?
Although amalgam fillings may be place in variety of applications in dental offices in the united States, even today, they are generally of limited value in today’s cosmetically conscious dental patient. The dental amalgam is historical referred to as the “gray filling” and unfortunately tend to stain and discolor teeth with time due to their corrosion. We do not feel the dental amalgam offers any significant benefit for the patient in terms of longevity, strength, or even cost. The cosmetic value of the dental amalgam poor and not a viable option for cosmetic treatment.
Health considerations of dental amalgam are being debated among researchers and health organizations, and are being considered much more carefully, due to the nearly 50% mercury levels in this type of restoration. I its my personal feeling that dental amalgam should not generally be continued to be utilized in routine dental applications. The mercury / silver fillings’ high level mercury and its potential future health considerations makes this choice of restoration a questionable alternative in almost any situation.
Dental Amalgam is of little value for use in the cosmetic enhancement of the patients smile and not recommended. Health risk due to mercury, although not fully known, seems to poss a question worth answering with more scientific research. Mercury is listed on the national list of known toxic substances and the “consumer should be ware”. We do not recommend mercury fillings be placed and have not provide this as an treatment option for many years.

COMPOSTIE FILLINGS
Compostic fillings provide a long lasting, durable restoration enhancing the beauty of the treated tooth and the esthetics of the patients smile. Dental composites can usually be place in one or two appointments. The cosmetic composite materials are provideded in a variety of types, colors and applications. The composite resin restorations and the dental technologies related to their use, delivery methods, dental applications and variety of products available has experienced an explosion in available technologies and development of new tcchnologies, applications and uses in cosmetic treatments. Comprehensive cosmetic restoration the patients smile is only limited by the imagination of the restorative dentist.
Although composite bonding techniques and bonding material have been around more than 45 years ago. The explosion in new adhesion technologies, bonding materials, dental enamel bonding and dentin bonding and the development of entirely new generations of dental composites, and other materials has created a renewed interest in composite fillings and their cosmetic applications. At times it would seem the materials uses are only limited by the imagination of the clinitician utilizing them. Although there are limitations for these materials there are many more uses that probably have yet to be discussed in the dental literature.
Composite fillings provide a realatively insoluble filling material. Solubility of dental cements and filling materials has long been significant factor in the consideration of these materials as the material of choice. Although dental composites, are not a long term, cosmetic restoration, most composite fillings do provide viable cosmetic solutions for patients wishing to improve their personnel appearance and the cosmetics of their smile.
Dental ceramics, ceramic veneers, ceramic inlays & onlays and full ceramic crowns, ceramic metalceramic bridges and dental implants or implant supported ceramic bridges or denture provide a variety of additional cosmetic solutions. These cosmetic teatment alternatives, which generally involve increase investment by the patient, provide the cosmetic dentist and dental cosmetics new technologies with exceptional cosmetic results. The alternative to the dental ceramics is often Cosmetic Composite fillings and primarily provide economical treatment alternatives.

Excerpt Dental Enamel, the hardest substance in our body, is 96% mineral, and is non-regenerative and non-reparative. The dental restorations, bondable ceramic or bonded cosmetic composite fillings serves not only to restore the natural esthetics of the tooth, but to protect the underlying highly innervated less mineralized dentin and soft vascular pulpal tissues. These restorations or dental fillings protect remaining tooth structure, from the oral environment and improve remaining support to the enamel ,thus enhancing tooth strength, to avoid further breakdown of the remaining tooth structure
The Enamel
The enamel portion of the tooth, is an extremely hard, highly mineralized, non-cellular material that gives the tooth its cosmetic properties and the hard, wear-resistant surface we chew our food with. The enamel and its’ cosmetic characteristics, are formed at the time the tooth develops within the jaw.
Enamel, the hardest substance in our body, is 96% mineral, and is non-regenerative and non-reparative. Unlike bone and the internal dentin of our tooth, enamel does not contain any collagen fibers and significantle contributes to its rather brittle less flexible quality. Enamel provides significant hardness, yet very brittle qualities and is prone to fracture, especially when our tooth is traumatized or structually compromised.
These characteristics of enamel are significant in that heavy wear and grinding, trauma, and decay, is highly damaging to the tooth strength and as well as its cosmetics. Although a little enamel loss is tolerable, significant loss from destructive forces will require dental restoration to protect the remaining tooth structure. Most enamel in the permanent dentition has completed mineralization during the first year of your life, beyond which your body is not able to form new enamel or repair any enamel that may be subject to destructive forces. It is therefor recommended that prudent steps be take to care of the dental enamel,
The dental restorations, bondable ceramic or bonded cosmetic composite fillings serves not only to restore the natural esthetics of the tooth, but to protect the underlying highly innervated less mineralized dentin and soft vascular pulpal tissues. These restorations or dental fillings protect remaining tooth structure, from the oral environment and improve remaining support to the enamel ,thus enhancing tooth strength, to avoid further breakdown of the remaining tooth structure.
The optical properties of the enamel hydroxylapatite mineral, provide the cosmetic characteristics of the tooth in such a way as to allow light to transmit through the enamel layer of the tooth, befor being reflected off of the internal dentin layer. This translucent nature of the dental enamel allows the light to transmit through and reflect off the dentin in such a way that it is precieved by the human eye, to have a translucence and opalescent luster.
The Anatomy Of The Vital Healthy Tooth; “Dentin Provides The Tooth Its Beautiful Internal Natural Color and Lifelong Protection”.
The Dentin And The Anatomy Of The Vital Tooth
Dentin
Dentin is the supporting foundation material of the tooth. It provides support to the outer enamel shell. Unlike enamel, your body is able to continue to form dentin throughout your lifetime from the cells within the internal portion of the tooth.
The purpose of dentin is to provide the structural foundation to the harder, outer enamel. Dentin provides a protective layer to the soft internal pulpal tissue of the tooth containing the nerve and blood supply. Dentin is very vascular and cellular, providing the nutrients to tooth from the jaw through its roots. Dentin, is only 70% mineral, and is much less mineralized than enamel.
As we age, the dentin continues to form internally in the pulp chamber of the tooth this continuous process of forming dentin, in the vital tooth, provides added protection to the tooth and pulp tissues as the harder enamel is lost from wear caused by abrasion, grinding, clenching, decay, or chemical erosion. The dentin provides the tooth its’ natural warm bio-esthetic beauty and internal color, while providing the tooth its’ constant protection against harmful stimuli. The natural cosmetic variations of the teeth and many or the individual internal characteristics, warm natural tooth colors is related to the dentinal color , its contribution and the variations in the color and thicknesses of enamel layer above.
