Composite dental filling


Previously, metal fillings, namely amalgam fillings with high amounts of mercury, were used. Thanks to developing technologies, amalgam fillings have been replaced by composite fillings. The biggest advantage of composite fillings over amalgam fillings was that the technique aimed at saving healthy tissues in the tooth could be applied. The metal appearance gave way to a more natural aesthetic appearance with composite fillings. Another advantage is that it can be selected according to each individual's tooth color. Composite fillings harden with light, and they are not expected to harden on their own like amalgam fillings. When composite fillings were introduced to dentistry, self-hardening composite fillings were initially used and the color options were limited. Today, light-hardening composite fillings accelerate this process and are the most commonly used dental filling types with their rich color options.

The composite filling must be placed in accordance with the original structure of the existing teeth. These fillings are also known as white fillings. In addition, the filling must fully fulfill the function of the tooth and correct it. Bite rehearsal is performed during the correction process of fillings. In addition, the surface control must be performed with the tongue.

The process ends with the filling being used on the tooth in an appropriate and problem-free manner. Choosing a dentist and clinic is extremely important for these procedures to be performed correctly.
