Let's demystify: Gray and white plumbing and CEREC restoration
When a cavity occurs, filling (also called filling) is necessary to prevent possible deterioration of the tooth. A gray filling (amalgam), white filling (composite) or other filling material may then be required. Certain materials may better meet the patient's needs.
The choice depends on the extent of the cavity to be filled and where the decay is located. Where there is a higher chewing force, a stronger material is generally required. Each of these types of filling has advantages and disadvantages. The choice of gray or white fillings should be limited to small dental repairs, because each time they have to be redone, the teeth become more fragile.
A filling serves to prevent the progression of decay by preventing bacteria from penetrating deep into the tooth.
Plombage | Avantages | Pourquoi utiliser ce type de restauration? | Différences entre les types de restaurations |
|---|---|---|---|
Gray lead | Strong and durable, it resists chewing pressure. | Ideal for simple fillings. | Alloy of different metals (silver, copper, tin and sometimes zinc) combined with mercury in order to obtain malleability for installation. |
White lead | Natural appearance, tooth color and several shades available (the aesthetic properties of the tooth are preserved).
| ideal for simple fillings. | Plastic material in the form of a ready-to-use paste, containing photosensitive substances which harden under the action of light. The adhesion to the tooth is chemical and there is therefore less healthy dental substance to be removed, compared to gray fillings. |
CEREC ceramic restoration (inlay)
| Ideal treatment that allows the restoration of a tooth with a crown or partial coverage in a single visit.
Good durability. | Ideal when the tooth is cracked, broken or has a large filling. | A computer-assisted restoration method that uses a ceramic block to sculpt the missing tooth shape. |
