Лазерная стоматология: лазерное пломбирование зубов

Carious cavities that form in the teeth as a result of caries damage cause a lot of inconvenience when eating, and are also the cause of toothache, which is one of the most unpleasant phenomena for any person.

Therefore, many people struggle with the choice of going to the dentist and being tortured with drills and other horrific dental instruments, or continuing to endure excruciating toothache. However, thanks to the properties and capabilities of lasers, dental filling is reaching a new level. the so-called laser filling, which is installed as a result of laser tooth filling, has a number of advantages, which Estet-portal will talk about in this article. 

When is laser tooth filling used

Firstly, if the area of ​​the cavity/damaged tooth is small and not close to the nerve, a typical pain medication injection may not be needed. Why? Because the laser used to remove cavities does not produce vibration or excessive heat that could cause discomfort or pain.

Another advantage of using such a laser is that it decontaminates the treatment area much better and more effectively than any chemical.

This procedure uses a special dental laser with a controlled, measurable light beam that can be directed with extreme precision only to the carious or damaged part of the tooth, without affecting the nearby healthy tooth structure. Even the smallest cavities that traditional dental methods would bypass can be treated with a laser until they grow large enough to be drilled and filled in the traditional way.

Which filling is used for laser filling 

After removing caries, thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the area of ​​the tooth, a biocompatible (biologically suitable for the body) glass-composite filling is inserted into it, matching the color of the tooth. Next, another laser is used to harden and bind this material to the structure of the tooth, after which the filling becomes part of it. Thus, the tooth is restored, acquires its original beauty, the usual processes of chewing and biting will not damage or weaken it.  

The biocompatible substance that bonds to the tooth will not loosen or discolor over time, nor will it crack or leak as is common with other fillings. This is because a “laser filling” is made up of strong, tooth-like materials, and because of the strong laser connections that hold it in place. The tooth itself is not damaged or weakened, as is the case with traditional drilling and filling.

Don't forget that the substance for the laser filling and the way it is implanted into the tooth helps to preserve the natural structure of the tooth for biting and chewing. 

What are the advantages of laser tooth filling 

Because the use of a drill is not required with this technology, the procedure is more pleasant and less intimidating for patients. Plus, the very low chance of such a filling falling out (many times lower than with any other filling method known today) means that subsequent treatment of a laser-filled tooth may never be necessary! As a rule, cracks, leaks and fractures associated with conventional filling technologies are not observed with laser tooth filling.   

Another advantage of laser dental filling is its biocompatibility and the way it protects and preserves the immune system of the oral cavity and the body as a whole. Preventing future dental infections, avoiding the possible toxic effects of mercury amalgam or petroleum-based substances, and reducing the stress associated with routine dental procedures will help maintain the patient's psychological and physical well-being.  

From a cosmetic point of view, laser dental fillings do not discolor or shrink over time. Moreover, they restore the original aesthetic appearance of the tooth, while maintaining the structural features and functionality of the tooth.
