When it is necessary to fill a tooth?

Tooth filling helps stop the progression of cavities since this procedure consists in removing affected tooth tissues and restoring the tooth by means of filling materials. As a rule, tooth filling is not required in the early stages of tooth decay (stains). However, if the caries has affected the middle and deep layers of the tooth, a filling becomes indispensable. 

Which components (materials) are used to perform tooth filling?

Filling material gets selected on the basis of how much the tooth is damaged, and where the affected area is localized. The dentist comes up with the best solution individually for each patient. 

Permanent tooth fillings in contemporary dentistry can be made of the following materials:

• Amalgam. Nowadays the use of various amalgams (alloys of metals with the quicksilver) is close to zero since such filling materials require much time and high qualification of the dentist. Besides, aesthetic properties of amalgams are far from being ideal — a polished filling is rather visible in the mouth. Such fillings are typically installed on grinding teeth. On the other hand, amalgams serve for up to several decades and can be placed in the wet tooth cavity.
• Cement-based fillings. There are mineral (phosphate) and polymeric (glass ionomer) cements. Such fillings have low adhesion properties and serve for no more than two years. The main advantage of cement fillings is their low price.
• Porcelain fillings are also called “inlays”; they get produced in dental laboratories and then fixed on the tooth. Porcelain fillings are resistant to colour staining and can be selected to mimic the natural shade of the teeth. Porcelain tooth restoration is normally performed on the major part of the tooth surface. The price of such fillings is similar to that of gold fillings.
• Composite material. Such materials are a great alternative to cement fillings. They usually contain porcelain. There are several types of composites: 
• Acrylic composites. A strong and reliable material. One of its disadvantages is high porosity which eventually leads to nerve inflammation and increases the risk of repetitive caries.
• Composites based on epoxy resins. This material is more resistant to attrition but has insufficient strength properties and visibly darkens with time.
• Light-cured composites. Such material consists of a filling agent and a polymeric substance that grows hard in the presence of the UV rays. Light-cured fillings are highly durable and have good aesthetic properties (the dentist can select a shade that corresponds to the natural colour of the teeth). The disadvantages of such fillings include low adhesion on the edge and shrinkage. Light-cured fillings serve for about 7-8 years.
