Let's demystify: Gray and white plumbing and CEREC restoration
When a cavity occurs, filling (also called filling) is necessary to prevent possible deterioration of the tooth. A gray filling (amalgam), white filling (composite) or other filling material may then be required. Certain materials may better meet the patient's needs.
The choice depends on the extent of the cavity to be filled and where the decay is located. Where there is a higher chewing force, a stronger material is generally required. Each of these types of filling has advantages and disadvantages. The choice of gray or white fillings should be limited to small dental repairs, because each time they have to be redone, the teeth become more fragile.
A filling serves to prevent the progression of decay by preventing bacteria from penetrating deep into the tooth.
Plombage | Avantages | Pourquoi utiliser ce type de restauration? | Différences entre les types de restaurations |
---|---|---|---|
Plombage gris | Solide et durable, il résiste à la pression masticatoire. | Idéal pour de simples obturations. | Alliage de différents métaux (argent, cuivre, étain et parfois zinc) combinés à du mercure afin d’obtenir une malléabilité pour la mise en place. |
Plombage blanc | Aspect naturel, de la couleur des dents et plusieurs teintes disponibles (les propriétés esthétiques de la dent sont conservées).
| déal pour de simples obturations. | Matériel plastique sous forme de pâte prête à l’emploi, contenant des substances photosensibles qui durcissent sous l’action de la lumière. L’adhérence à la dent est chimique et il y a donc moins de substance dentaire saine à retirer, comparativement au plombage gris. |
Restauration céramique CEREC (incrustation)
| Traitement idéal qui permet la restauration d’une dent par une couronne ou un recouvrement partiel en une seule visite.
Bonne durabilité . | Idéal lorsque la dent est fissurée, cassée ou présente une obturation volumineuse. | Méthode de restauration assistée par ordinateur qui utilise un bloc de céramique pour sculpter la forme manquante de la dent. |
