Composite

What is dental composite?
The search for an ideal material to restore teeth has led to significant advances in cosmetic dentistry techniques. Composite and acid etching technique are two major advances in dentistry for tooth restoration.

Composite is an adhesive material that creates a strong bond with tooth enamel and dentin, thus making tooth restoration easier. Composite fillings are a mixture of plastic and glass materials plus resin that can be easily painted to resemble natural teeth. Because of its natural appearance and more affordable price, composite is quickly replacing silver amalgam for tooth restoration.

There are different types of composite compounds that are used for tooth restoration and beauty. The final composition of the composite is a paste-like composition that easily enters the cavities and irregularities of the tooth and fills it. These compounds are completely the same color as natural teeth and do not contain any metal compounds.

Dental composite applications
The main application of composite is tooth restoration. Cavities are one of the most common dental problems. They are small cavities that are created on the dental surfaces due to tooth decay for various reasons and make the appearance of the teeth ugly and messy. These dental caries are caused by the production of acid by plaques and bacteria in the mouth and erodes the tooth enamel. One of the uses of dental composite is to fill these dental cavities. Composite materials can easily enter these cavities and fill them well.

Another application of composite is to beautify the smile and improve the appearance of the teeth. Composite brings beauty to the teeth. Composites are used to repair broken teeth or teeth whose dentin has been worn. In addition, composites are also used to repair broken teeth, spaced teeth, and misaligned teeth.

Broken tooth composite or spaced tooth composite is not only for cosmetic purposes. This technique is a part of the treatment methods and they are used to treat toothache and solve mouth and jaw problems. Another important use of composite is to maintain the durability and health of the teeth to prevent future caries.

Another restorative application of composite technique is crooked tooth composite and other tooth deformities. In this way, the teeth will be smooth and uniform. In some people, teeth grinding causes tooth breakage.

Composite is also used for teeth whitening. It is also used to correct irregular teeth. Dental composite techniques can be used to cover all teeth or use these compounds only for some teeth. Canine tooth composite, rabbit tooth composite, and front tooth composite are among the most widely used.

What is the effect of composite on the health and beauty of teeth?
Dental composites in any form will have a great impact on people's appearance. They increase people's self-confidence and double the beauty of their smile. To better understand the effect of composite teeth on a person's face, it is better to compare a photo before composite with a photo after composite teeth to understand the effect of this method on the beauty of people's faces.

Types of dental composites
Different techniques and materials have led us to have a variety of dental composites, each of which has a special application and is not suitable for every tooth. The dentist chooses the best type of dental composite for people based on the type of teeth, individual conditions and the number of teeth that need composite veneers.

Types of dental composites include the following:

Ceramic or porcelain veneers
Composite resin, which includes the following:
Macrophiles
microfils
Hybrids include:
Nano hybrids
Micro hybrids
Common hybrids
ips composite.
Another classification is the classification of composites based on the place of use and their type. All types of posterior composites, anterior composites, liquid composite veneers, etc. are included in this category. In addition, they are also categorized based on the manufacturer's brand. Sarmaco is the most well-known composite brand, which is a Swiss product.

All these composites are used for different purposes. Finally, all of them are considered to beautify teeth with composite and solve various problems. In the following, we will further examine some of these types of dental composites.
