Dental restorations are clinical procedures that repair or replace missing, decayed or damaged tooth structure, restoring functionality, integrity and esthetics.
Direct restorations are placed directly into a prepared tooth in one visit, such as dental fillings.
If your teeth are dealing with caries, fractured enamel or dentin, cervical abrasions, the treatment of choice would be restoration of teeth with a suitable dental material.
At katna dental clinic, we follow a specific restoration protocol and specific materials for a particular kind of dental problem.
The procedure:
- Diagnosis: Carious tooth is examined clinically and radiographically to assess the design and extent of cavity preparation.
- Shade selection of restoration: To provide esthetically perfect restoration, shade matching is done and final shade is selected.
- Local anesthesia administration: To make the procedure painless and comfortable, local anesthesia is administered. We ensure that you are comfortable with local anesthesia so that procedure can be commenced.
- Pre-wedging: To prevent any damage to adjacent toot while cavity preparation, pre-wedging is necessarily done.
- Initial cavity preparation: Peripheral seal zone is achieved by entering 2-3 mm into tooth structure aiming for complete removal of decay and cracks, creating a strong adhesive bonding surface for restorations and protecting the pulp.
- Rubber dam application: For proper isolation of teeth. It creates a dry, clean, and sterile operating field. It improves visibility, protects patients from swallowing instruments, and prevents contamination, leading to more durable, high quality and long-lasting dental restoration.
- Selective caries removal: Final cavity preparation by removing any deep caries selectively.
- Cavity disinfection: using chlorhexidine 2%
- Selective etching of tooth and washing
- Drying of cavity
- Bonding agent application, air drying, wicking, and light curing
- Matrix system placement in class II cavities
- Placement of liner in deep cavities
- Restoration of cavity using layering technique
- Occlusal adjustments: Checking of the high points and correcting the occlusion
- Finishing and polishing of the restoration
- IOPA: X ray is done to check pulp relation to restoration and proper contacts and contour established.
At Katna dental clinic, we follow BIOMIMETIC APPROACH in restorations. It is tooth conserving approach that reconstructs damaged teeth by mimicking the natural structural, mechanical, and esthetic properties of enamel and dentin.
Key principles are:
- Maximum Tooth Preservation
- Immediate Dentin Sealing to enhance bond strength
- Stress Reducing Protocol using fiber reinforced materials and creating bio-base
- Biomimetic Layering
- Crack Analysis to prevent propagation
We have advanced technology dental materials including Composites, Bioactive restorative materials for teeth that need extra care, high tensile strength restorative materials like Activa Pronto suitable specifically for cervical abrasions , Fiber reinforced high performance composite (Fibrafill, Ribbond)system designed specifically to replace dentin in large restorations offering high fracture toughness and stress distribution.
Thus, restore your teeth with the best restorative technique and high quality restorative materials at katna dental clinic.
