There are four basic types of filling materials used
- Traditional silver amalgam.
- Glass Ionomer cements and its various modified forms
- Light cure composite resin
- Gold foil
Traditional silver amalgam: They are effective, but contain mercury, a toxic element. Because of mercury toxicity use of amalgam filling are abolished in many countries. Though the Indian government has not yet banned amalgam filling, we have reduced significantly its use in our practice. Glass Ionomer cements and its various modified forms: They are tooth colored filling material being used for deciduous teeth. It is also used in Atraumatic restorative technique. Metal filled Glass Ionomer cement are grey colored. This material is having better strength. Resin filled Glass Ionomer cement is also available. Now a days light cure Glass Ionomer cements are also being used. Light cure composite resin: They are tooth colored filling material, strong, durable and with no risk on health like amalgam filling. It is used as tooth binding procedure; enhance strength and appearance of tooth. |
