Toothtown is the best dental clinic to provide high quality, high strength, filling exactly mimicking the tooth. Biomimetic Restorations are in the trend now, saving the tooth structure as well as avoiding root canal treatment in most situations. It is Restoring the Lost portion of teeth with a suitable biocompatible material to make it Mimic the Nature. It can be done directly on the teeth or done indirectly at laboratory and fixed onto the teeth.
- Direct Composite Restoration (Filling) : It is a tooth coloured bonded restoration done when a tooth cavity is small.
- Indirect Restorations ( Inlays and Onlays) : In case of bigger cavities i.e., more than 1/3 of the tooth are lost due to dental caries, Indirect restoration is a better and comfortable choice. It is made up of Full Ceramic, Composite or Metal (nickel chromium or gold), according to the Esthetic and the Functional demands.
Common indirect restorations include inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges and veneers.
- INLAY- fits inside the tooth.
- ONLAY- covers the entire biting surface.
- OVERLAY – for Root canal treated teeth.
- CROWNS- encircles the tooth or an implant.
- BRIDGES- replaces the missing tooth taking support of the adjacent tooth .
- VENEERS- a thin layer of material bonded over tooth to improve smile and protect tooth surface from damage.
Indirect Restorations are better durable and gap free with a best fit
PROCESS OF INDIRECT RESTORATION
For an Indirect Restoration the Dental Caries is removed, the rest of the tooth is shaped to receive a Restoration that is to be fabricated outside the mouth. So, after shaping the tooth a measurement is taken (like for a Crown) and send to the Dental lab. The Indirect piece Restoration is Fabricated with ease outside the mouth. It is made up of Full Ceramic, composite or Metal (nickel chromium or gold), according to the Esthetic and the Functional demands. As the Indirect restoration has come from the Dental Lab, the Dentist checks the fit and then fix the piece of Restoration in the already prepared cavity. Like in making crown the Indirect restoration also needs a Temporary Restoration in the time where the Indirect Restoration is made in the lab.
Indirect Restorations, ie., the Inlays and Onlays are better durable and gap free with a best fit. If a deeper cavity has got pain it goes for Root Canal Treatment (RCT) and Crown rather than Indirect Restorations
So, Indirect Restorations are a choice between Direct Fillings and RCT, where the Dentist has to decide according to the available tooth structure after removing the Dental Caries or the Defective/ Diseased tooth structure.
