Surely everyone faced problems with teeth and oral cavity. Therefore, many are familiar with temporary fillings firsthand. But few people know why they bear such a name and why they are generally installed. You can get answers to questions regarding temporary fillings, TELO'S BEAUTY clinics.
Features
The material (dentin / cements / polymers) is set for the patient for a week or a month at the first visit to the doctor in the treatment of inflammatory diseases and progressive caries. In addition to treatment, the material is very useful for diagnosis, because it is able to show how the dental nerve “behaves”. This will allow the doctor to choose the best method for further treatment.
Without temporary fillings, it is impossible to carry out endodontic dental treatment. Most often, with inflammatory diseases, the patient should leave drugs in the tooth cavity. And for their maximum effective action, it is necessary that the inflamed tooth be tightly closed. This contributes to better absorption of the drug and resists ingestion of saliva, microorganisms and food.
Wear time depends on the purpose of the installation:
- For diagnosis, one week is enough;
- Treatment with drugs can be delayed for up to one month.
The ability to remain intact and provide tightness is observed for about 14-15 days. For a longer period of treatment in this way, the attending physician is obliged to replace or initially install stronger and more durable material.
Often after installation, patients complain of tooth pain. This is due to the fact that the seal was installed on a tooth that has not yet been cured. As a rule, such pain is not too severe, but in some cases it is best to consult a doctor. Going to the doctor is also worth it if the material begins to crumble or it completely flew out. Otherwise, it can cause the rapid development of caries or pathogens. Under no circumstances should you take action yourself! Negative consequences can also be caused by excessive wear.
Characteristics of temporary fillings
- Maximum tightness and proper absorption of the drug;
- Simple installation and removal;
- The absence of irritant or allergic reactions;
- Quick freezing.
However, due to the particular fragility of the material, caramel, nuts, butterscotch and other products that could be harmful should not be used.
The attending physician determines the type of material used for each specific case individually. When choosing a dentist takes into account factors such as:
- General characteristics of the tooth;
- Age of the patient;
- Functional loading, etc.
