A 23 year old female
came with fractured front teeth. A build up with composite was performed for
her by Dr. Parth, a student of clinical course in endodontics. Composite resins are tooth-colored materials that can
actually be applied to the remaining surfaces of teeth to replace lost tooth
structure in such a way as to actually make them one, blending and exactly
matching the physical characteristics and color of natural teeth, and actually
strengthening them in the process. Most importantly, modern composites
physically adhere by actually bonding to the two elements that teeth are
composed of, dentin and enamel. Major advances have resulted from the study and
understanding of how the crowns of teeth actually flex or give under biting
force and how restorative materials can be used to the greatest effect in the
way they interact. And, best yet, composites can be used to restore teeth
directly — they are applied directly to the teeth in the dental office in a
single appointment. That means no temporaries and no outsourcing to dental labs
for fabrication, which also means less cost and time.
