Fillings
Fillings serve, after removing the caries and if necessary the supply tooth nerves, the catch of tooth defects. The sensitive ranges of the tooth are protected by it and the chewing function as well as aesthetics are restored. According to the situation of the tooth in the jaw, as well as the size and situation of the defect at the tooth there is a number of different filling materials.

Caries

The dental caries (dental putrefaction) is an illness of the dental hard tissue dental glaze and dentin. As a caries preliminary stage form first demineralisations. These are recognizable macroscopic as white spots (Macula alba). By storages of colour pigments from the food these spots are often getting dark.
Then an initial caries has in addition to discolorations a mechanical defect on the dental surface which is pressable with the probe. If the caries is not treated in the initial stage immediately, as long as only the dental glaze is struck, then she penetrates into the dentin (dental leg). Because dentin is substantially more softy than dental glaze, the caries spreads out in the dentin, in addition, still in the width.

Below the glaze dentin border the caries spreads out fast in the width. Then this undermined dental glaze in the edges of the caries defect breaks after some weeks during masticating suddenly away. At this moment the caries is often only perceived, although it already exists since weeks. The dentin caries causes toothaches.

Suitable methods of the primary prevention of caries
  • fluoridisation measures (drinking water, toothpaste)
  • treatment of the teeth with phosphate fluorid gel, fluorid varnish –
  • sealing of F sharp suras
  • exchange of fermentable sugar candies with dental careful chewing gum
  • healthy food.
Amalgam fillings
The harmful aspects of the amalgam fillings were confirmed by research groups. In addition, the amalgam filling fulfils the aesthetic wishes of the person of 21. Cent. no more. A filling becomes electro-chemical, mechanical taken up every day: with the masticating a pressure of 70 bars can originate.

Instead of the traditional lead seal more and more people can be treated with dental-coloured aesthetic fillings (on ultraviolet light hardening), or inlays or onlays. The visible part of the tooth, the crown, will strike -according to size- by caries. The restoration of the injured surface happens with fillings. While striking the inside of the tooth (Pulpakammer) a root filling is inevitable. Aesthetic fillings (e.g., from the materials which harden themselves on ultraviolet light) can be made by the dentist, but also by the lab. The latter need an impression and one calls you, according to size, inlays or onlays. They can be made of plastic, ceramics or gold. A combination of gold and ceramics is also possible. (see chapter inlays / onlays) this combination owns a special aesthetic effect and combines ideally the advantages of both materials.

The motto: Is older and cultivated - which preserve beauty and health! Substitute yourselves your old, worn, not more to well closing amalgam fillings by the most modern, ultraviolet light hardening, aesthetic materials! SWISSDENT owns the best west-European materials in Sopron and the practise is equipped with the world-best UV lamp with exponential light strengthening.

Esthetic Dentistry
In our practise are, by request of the patient, the amalgam fillings new substituted with aesthetic fillings. In addition we use the German ESPE ELIPAR TRILIGHT, a Polymerisation apparatus to the more sparing age-hardening of light-hardening materials with several function modes and calibration possibilities.


Plastic fillings

The plastic  filling is one, from your dentist directly in the mouth made, dental-coloured filling. She hardens herself on UV - rays. Besides, the lamp, called also Polymerisations apparatus is important. Plastic - fillings are recommended, above all, in the frontal teeth area as well as for smaller fillings in the molar area.

Advantages and disadvantages
adequate aesthetics, discoloration possibly
not so long-lasting as an inlay made in the dental lab
unsettled side effects
danger of the edge gap form

Glasionomere/Compomere
An other kind - to not-metallic filling materials are the Glasionomercementes. They unite the advantages of a chemical liability in the dental substance with qualities friendly to tissue. The disadvantage is a lower mechanical loading capacity. The application: where a long durability is not necessary, how with milkteeth or fillings in the neck of a tooth.

Glasionomere
are activated in the chair of treatment by the shuffle of two components, are introduced in soft state in the cavity and harden there. The Compomere are a mixture of Composite - fillers and  Glasionomer cementes. Indeed, they point to a higher quality compared with the Glasionomer cementes, nevertheless, are more difficult to process, because they are very sensitive to humidity. To the plastics they are qualitative put under, so that all together also her application to the milkteeth and long time interim solutions is limited.

Ormocere
A new kind of the plastic filling materials is the Ormocer (= organically modified Ceramik). This exists of a compound  of inorganic and organic molecules and the interest of the plastic so slightly as possible is held. A very homogeneous mass with very good hardness originates from it. To raise the hardness are also still added here the smallest quartz or glass particle. The complexity  of the processing and the appearance corresponds to the plastics (see above), however, the material is more expensive itself than a plastic.
