Dental Restoratives: Composites, Matrices and Wedges, Resin Cements & more

Dental Restoratives are indispensable materials utilized to repair or replace decayed or missing teeth, playing a vital role in maintaining oral health and function. Whether addressing decay, trauma, or other dental issues, these materials are designed to restore the function, aesthetics, and structural integrity of teeth, thereby promoting overall dental well-being.

Benefits of Using Quality Dental Restorative Materials

Quality restorative materials offer a multitude of advantages that are essential for successful dental treatments. 

1. Firstly, they boast durability, ensuring that the restorations can withstand the rigors of daily use in the oral cavity. This durability translates to long-lasting results, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimizing inconvenience for patients.
2. Moreover, quality restorative materials provide natural aesthetics, seamlessly blending with the surrounding dentition to create a natural smile curve. The ability to mimic the appearance of natural teeth is particularly crucial for restorations in visible areas of the mouth, where aesthetics are paramount. Patients can enjoy restored teeth that look and feel natural, enhancing their confidence and self-esteem.
3. Biocompatibility is another critical aspect of quality restorative materials. These materials are designed to be compatible with the oral environment, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions or complications. Biocompatible materials promote tissue healing and integration, ensuring optimal outcomes for patients while reducing the likelihood of post-operative discomfort or inflammation.
4. Furthermore, quality restorative materials are characterized by their minimally invasive nature, which helps preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible during dental procedures. This preservation of healthy tooth structure is essential for maintaining the strength and integrity of the dentition, reducing the risk of future dental problems and promoting long-term oral health.

Types of Dental Restorative Materials

Composites & Accessories

Composites are tooth filling materials composed of a resin matrix and filler particles. These materials offer excellent versatility, allowing dentists to achieve precise and esthetic results. Composites bond well to tooth structure, providing a reliable and durable restoration. Bonding agents and curing lights are essential accessories used in conjunction with composite dental fillings to ensure proper adhesion and polymerization. They are of 6 types and possess different characteristics.

For best results, it is recommended to use the best composites, such as SDI Luna, SDI Wave, Avue T Crown, Avue Core Nano Dual etc for completely relisable and esthetic results.

GIC/RMGIC/Amalgam

Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) and Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Cement (RMGIC) are fluoride-releasing dental materials commonly used for small restorations and cavity liners. These materials have the advantage of releasing fluoride ions, which help prevent secondary decay and promote remineralization of adjacent tooth structure. Amalgam, a durable metallic restorative material, is primarily used for posterior teeth due to its strength and longevity.

Some of the best GIC are SDI Riva Luting, SDI Riva Light Cure, SDI Riva Self Cure, SDI Riva Cem and Amalgams include the SDI GS-80. 

Post & Core

Post and core build up materials are employed to rebuild extensively damaged or root canal-treated teeth. The post provides internal support within the root canal, while the core rebuilds the tooth structure to support a crown or other prosthetic restoration. This type of restoration is essential for restoring the form and function of compromised teeth, enabling the placement of a durable and esthetic final restoration.

Try using the best Post and Core Products by Dental Avenue, such as Avue Core Nano Dual and Luxacore Z Dual for a superior build-up of teeth. 

Luting Cements & Liners

Luting cements are adhesive materials used to bond restorations such as crowns, bridges, or inlays/onlays to the tooth structure. These cements provide a secure and durable bond, ensuring the longevity of the restoration. Liners are placed on the tooth surface to provide additional protection or insulation before placing restorations such as composites and thus minimizing the sensitivity and enhancing the seal between the restoration and the tooth.

Dental Avenue offers a wide range of Luting cements and Liners like Avue Cal LC, Avue Liner LC, DMG Ionosit and more. 

Temporary Material

Temporary filling for tooth provides interim solutions while permanent restorations are being fabricated or during transitional phases of treatment. These materials offer provisional aesthetics and functionality, allowing patients to maintain normal oral function and appearance until permanent solutions can be implemented.

Avue Temp is one of the most recommended products by Dentists in providing comfortable interim teeth solutions.

Wedges & Matrix

Wedges and matrices are essential tools used during restorative procedures to ensure precise placement and shaping of restorative materials. Wedges create separation between teeth, facilitating the proper placement of restorations and preventing overhangs or voids. Matrices are thin, flexible strips used to create a temporary wall for shaping restorations such as composite dental fillings, ensuring proper contour and adaptation to the tooth structure.

How Restorative Materials Improve Dental Health and Patient Comfort?

Restorative materials play a crucial role in improving dental health and enhancing patient comfort in several ways. Firstly, these materials restore damaged teeth, preventing further decay or deterioration and preserving the structural integrity of the dentition. By addressing dental issues promptly, restorative materials help maintain oral health and prevent the progression of dental problems.

Additionally, restorative materials improve chewing ability, speech clarity, and aesthetics, thereby enhancing overall oral function and quality of life for patients. Restored teeth function more efficiently, allowing patients to eat a varied diet and maintain proper nutrition. Speech clarity is also improved when missing or damaged teeth are replaced, enabling patients to communicate more effectively.

Furthermore, restorative materials contribute to patient comfort by restoring confidence and self-esteem. Aesthetic restorations blend seamlessly with natural teeth, allowing patients to smile and interact with others without feeling self-conscious about their dental appearance. This improvement in self-confidence can have a positive impact on mental well-being and overall quality of life.
