TOOTH COLORED FILLINGS

Don’t let a damaged tooth compromise the integrity and health of your smile. Tooth-colored fillings are a simple solution to restoring dental health.

A filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. If you have a tooth that requires a filling, the dentist will first remove the decayed tooth material, clean the affected area, and then fill the cleaned out cavity with a filling material. A filling also helps prevent further decay by closing off any cracks or spaces where bacteria can enter.

There are a variety of filling materials available including gold, silver, plastic and porcelain. The dentist will work with you to determine which material is best for you, depending on the extent of repair, where in your mouth the filling is needed, and cost. Each of the filling materials is briefly explained below:

Gold fillings are custom made in a laboratory and then cemented into place. While gold fillings are often the most expensive choice, many consider it the best filling material. Gold inlays are well-tolerated by gum tissues and may last more than 20 years.
Amalgam (silver) fillings are a more inexpensive choice and are tolerant to wear. However, due to their dark color they are more noticeable than porcelain or composite restorations and are not recommended for fillings in very visible areas such as front teeth

Composite (plastic) resins are custom made to the exact color of your natural teeth, creating a more natural appearance. While white fillings may be less noticeable than other materials, they usually only last between 3 and 10 years. They may not be ideal for large fillings as they may chip or wear over time. They can also become stained from coffee, tea or tobacco.
Porcelain fillings are called inlays or onlays and are custom created in a lab and then bonded to the tooth. They can be matched to the color of the tooth, resist staining, and are about the same cost as gold fillings. A porcelain restoration generally covers most of the tooth, making the filling nearly undetectable.

Mandibular fracture

Mandibular fractures are relatively common especially among young men. Although traditionally the mandible and base of skull are thought to form a complete bony ring, interrupted only by the TMJs. This should mean that the mandible should fracture in two places (akin to the bony pelvis) making single fractures uncommon, but this in fact not the case, with ~40% of fractures being unifocal.

Epidemiology

Aetiology and demographics will vary significantly depending on the population demographics and with where patients present. In the setting of a trauma centre in America, 90% of patients are male, with 64% between the ages of 15 and 29 2:

assault: 50%
motor vehicle accident (MVA): 10%
fall: 15%
sport: 15%
other: 10%

Clinical presentation.

Presenting complaints will include:

pain
chin paresthesia (damage to the mental nerve, a terminal branch of the inferior alveolar nerve)
malocclusion
trismus
dental damage
abnormal mobility
laceration of the skin of the external acoustic meatus

Pathology

Location

angle: 20-33% 1-3
body: 15-25%
condyle or neck: 15-36% (see: TMJ trauma)
parasymphyseal: 14-15%
ramus: 5%
coronoid process: 1-3%
alveolar ridge: 2%

Unifocal fractures are common, accounting for approximately 40% of all mandibular fractures 1:

multifocal: 60% 1
unifocal: 40%
simple: 25%
comminuted: 10%
associated with condylar subluxation: 5%

Parent's Guide to milk teeth · Dental eruption at the age of 3, children should have 20 teeth in total; The first of these should erupt around 6 months of age, however, during this process the gums are irritated. What you can do to lessen the discomfort and act as a painkiller is: a) massaging your gum with your finger clean and wet in cold water.

b) Give it a cold silicone teether.

c) massage with a cold silicone thimble

d) Place a damp cloth on the gum.

· Importance of milk teeth

Usually many people believe that as the first teeth are temporary and will fall, they do not deserve daily care. It should be noted that the teeth will not only help the child to chew food, but there are other functions that are important:

A) The milk teeth Keep the space and guide the eruption of the permanent teeth. Premature loss of a milk tooth can cause the closure of that space and cause a future bad position of the permanent teeth.

b) have an important role in the formation of the child, because to learn to speak correctly the words must be pronounced well.

C. When pronouncing a word or sentence correctly there should be a support and coordination of the tongue with the faces of the teeth. Otherwise the child will have trouble talking, and it may be necessary to go to language therapies.

· Correct brushing prevents tooth decay

Before the baby has teeth, there are already bacteria in the mouth that wait for the moment of eruption of the first tooth to adhere to the enamel and attack it; Therefore, oral hygiene is essential since the birth of the baby:

A) Start washing your baby's mouth during the first few days of birth.

B. Clean the gums with a wet gauze after feeding with a bottle or breast.

c) Brush your teeth 3 times a day.

D) Dental brushing at night is important as it prevents bacteria from accumulating.

· Avoid infecting your child

When a baby is born, care should always be taken to make sure that relatives or acquaintances who see them are not ill, protecting from any bacteria that may make them sick.

Likewise, we will be able to have the same care so that the baby does not spread tooth decay. For this reason, these are some daily activities you should avoid to maintain good oral health:

A) do not kiss the children on the lips. It is very common for parents to greet or dismiss the baby with a kiss on the lips, when performing this action they transmit to the child a large amount of bacteria that the adults have.

B) Do not share cutlery. You should not share spoons, forks, napkins, toothbrushes or any other utensils with your child.

C) Do not take the baby's bottle or glass. Place in a spoon or on the hand a little bit of the contents to test it or check that it is not too hot.

D) do not blow on children's food to cool it. Let the food cool down by itself.
