Preservative stomatology with endodontics is the branch of dentistry devoted to prevention of dental caries and treatment of present cavities.
There are many different fillings used in modern dentistry.
Composite filling
This kind of filling is the most recommended, if another prosthetic solution is not required (e.g. crowns, bridges, etc.)
Modern composite fillings are blend of syntetic and ceramic materials. They are applied to the surface of teeth in layers without affecting healthy tissue.
This kind of filling guarantees both: excellent aesthetic effects and long-term filling (between 5 to 10 years).
These fillings do not change colour if appropriate oral hygiene is maintained. In some cases such as drinking tea, coffee, wine and smoking the colour of fillings may change, but they can be polished and the proper colour is restored.
