Conservative Dental Treatmet
Conservative dental treatment aims to treat teeth that can be restored in dentistry with minimally invasive methods. It enables the restoration of caries, trauma-induced fractures or congenital defects in the tooth by preserving the intact tooth tissue, using composite filling or hybrid ceramic materials. Common treatments are composite fillings, inlay-onlay ceramic restorations, and composite laminates (bonding).
Composite filling is a treatment option in cases of tooth decay, cracks and fractures. During the procedure, the decayed part of the tooth is cleaned and filled with composite filling material.
Inlay-Onley Ceramic Restorations are a preferred treatment option in cases when the remaining tooth tissue is not sufficient to fill. It is made of ceramic materials that are stronger than the filling. It is prepared in the dental laboratory with the impression taken from the mouth.
Composite laminates are a treatment method that can be applied in the treatment of fractures in the anterior teeth, in cases where the gap between the teeth (diastema) is desired to be closed, or for minimal deformation.
What is conservative dental treatment and in what cases is it applied?
conservative dental treatment is an approach that aims to repair teeth with minimally invasive methods. In the treatment of cavities, fractures due to trauma or congenital tooth defects, composite fillings or hybrid ceramic materials are used, preserving the healthy tooth tissue as much as possible.
These treatment methods include composite filling, inlay-onlay ceramic restorations and composite laminates (bonding):
Composite filling: It is applied to decayed, cracked or broken teeth. After the decay is cleaned, the tooth is restored with composite filling material.
Inlay-Onlay Ceramic Restorations: It is preferred in cases where the remaining tooth tissue is insufficient for filling. Ceramic materials that are more durable than fillings and prepared in the laboratory with the measurement taken from the mouth are used.
Composite laminates (bonding): It is a method used for front tooth fractures, closing the gaps between the teeth (diastema) or correcting minimal deformities.
Thanks to these treatment methods, aesthetic and functional restorations are provided by preserving the tooth tissue as much as possible.
