Temporary fillings: what is their essence?

For sure, everyone faced problems with teeth and mouth. Therefore, many are familiar with temporary seals, not by hearsay. But very few people know why they have such a name and why they are generally installed. You can get answers to questions concerning the temporary filling on the website of the TELO'S BEAUTY clinic.

Features

The material (dentin / cements / polymers) is set to the patient for a week or a month in the first visit to the doctor in the treatment of inflammatory diseases and progressive caries. In addition to treatment, the material is very useful in 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 seals, it is impossible to perform endodontic dentistry. Most often with inflammatory diseases the patient should leave medicinal preparations in the cavity of the tooth. And for their maximum effective effect, it is necessary that the inflamed tooth is hermetically sealed. This promotes better absorption of the drug and resists ingestion of saliva, microorganisms and food.

The wearing time depends on the purpose of the installation:

- One week is enough for the diagnosis;

- Treatment with medications can be delayed for up to one month.

The ability to remain intact and provide tightness is observed about 14-15 days. With a longer treatment period in this way, the attending physician is obliged to make a replacement or to initially install a stronger and more durable material.

Often after installation, patients complain of tooth pain. This is due to the fact that the seal has been placed on the tooth, which has not yet been cured. Typically, this pain is not too strong, but in some cases it is best to consult a doctor. To go to the doctor also costs and in case the material starts to crumble or it at all has taken off. Otherwise, it can cause rapid development of caries or pathogens. Take action yourself can not in any case! Negative consequences can also be caused by excessive wear.

Characteristics of temporary seals

However, in view of the particular fragility of the material, you should not eat caramel, nuts, toffee and other products that can harm.

- General characteristics of the tooth;

- Age of the patient;

- Functional loading, etc.
