Fillings can help
save your teeth! Although some might dread the experience of a
dentist repairing the decay caused by a cavity,
fillings are a modern marvel. Without dental fillings,
we would be left to live through the pain of a dieing tooth as
well as the eventual extraction of that tooth. Cavities begin
with the decay of the hard-mineralized outer layer of the tooth
(enamel). Cavities progress as the decay reaches the more sensitive
areas of the tooth (first the cementum then the dentin and finally
the dental pulp). After the cavity has decayed to the dental pulp
the tooth can and will eventually die, leading to root canal treatment.
How fortunate we are to have a modern marvel in fillings, which
will stop the ugly and painful progression of a cavity, among
others by tooth-colored fillings.
It is hard to find a person not shuddering
at the thought of going to a dentist, particularly for cavity
fillings. The sound of drill is no music anyway, more particularly
to children. But not anymore! Thanks to the drill-less technology,
the attractive tooth coloured fillings can be provided faster
and easier than ever before.
New technology has created AIR ABRASION, an exciting devise that enables
the teeth to be treated for decay often without the use of the dental
hand piece. Most cavities that are detected early can be treated immediately,
without a drill and without a needle. Abrasion is a gentle “drill-less”
technology that can frequently be used in place of or in conjunction
with the drill to make procedure more comfortable, often without the
need for anesthetic. Air abrasion is perfect for children.
Microabrasion is a method that can be used to remove the stain and surface discoloration from your teeth. It uses a pressurised stream of a non-toxic aluminium oxide powder to rapidly remove the surface marks. This method does not require a local anaesthetic.
One of the conditions we see among children is discoloration. A number of conditions can cause discoloration of permanent teeth. For example, trauma to a baby tooth, an infection around a baby tooth, and high fevers or prolonged chronic illnesses during childhood can cause discolorations. Fluoride can also cause some white or brown discolorations of teeth when a child receives a high dose over a period of time.
Microabrasion has proven very successful at removing many of these discolorations. In microabrasion, dentists carefully rub a compound on the teeth to remove superficial stains and discoloration. Some teeth have a deeper, irreversible stain or discoloration, the result of trauma, root canal therapy or medications such as tetracycline. These deep stains are not improved by microabrasion.
It is best described as a mini sandblaster. The unit sprays a
fine stream of tiny Aluminum Oxide, 27 to 50 microns in diameter
particles that remove decay. The fine particles are mixed with
compressed air and directed in a stream at the tooth, removing
the decay. The dentist remains in control by adjusting the amount
and pressure of the powder stream. The tooth is then restored
with natural looking materials to strengthen and protect the remaining
tooth structure.
By removing as little tooth structure
as possible, more of the healthy tooth structure remains. Air
abrasion is best suited for small to medium cavities that will
be filled with tooth colored restorations. Air Abrasion is not
ideal for large cavities or removing silver-mercury fillings.
Larger fillings and crown preparations are not good candidates
for air abrasion. Air abrasion is perfect for cavities that are
small or easily accessible.
In
the drill-less dentistry, some of our panel dental specialists use
another proprietary called Kinetic Cavity Preparation system, which
is another exciting new advancement in microdentistry. While no treatment
is truly painless, the KCP system greatly reduces heat and vibration,
two major sources of discomfort traditionally associated with fillings.
While the process is on, you may be asked to wear special glasses
to protect your eyes from irritation. As an added precaution, the
parts of your mouth that aren’t being treated will be shield
off. Besides tooth-colored fillings, the KCP is very useful in a number
of cosmetic procedures such as veneers, inlays and onlays. It also
allows applying preventative sealants in a matter of seconds.
The advantages are: Only the diseased part of the tooth is removed.
Novocain is eliminated; noise of the dental drill is eliminated.
Children and adult patients with dental anxiety find it less intimidating.
It enables the dentist to perform multiple fillings, and the result
is a natural and conservative fillings
