Aesthetic Anterior Fillings
Composite fillings in the front teeth
Highly aesthetic composite fillings in the front teeth are a dental challenge. Front teeth are usually filled with only one or perhaps two composite materials. In these cases, however, the results are only moderate to poor.
Composite fillings in the front teeth
If you look very closely at the complex structure of a front tooth in the light, you may understand why a lifelike reconstruction of a front tooth requires several composite materials to achieve a beautiful result.
At our practice, we use the highly aesthetic material Enamel Plus HRi. This composite, developed by the Italian Dr. Lorenzo Vanini, is currently regarded as the best material in the world for aesthetic anterior fillings. HRi Universal Enamel is currently the first and only composite material that has the same light refraction effect as natural tooth enamel. Composite restorations of this kind can no longer be distinguished from natural tooth enamel. HRi therefore has the same properties as natural tooth enamel. Applying this type of filling therapy is not easy and should also have been learned directly from Dr. Vanini himself. Working with magnifying loupes is absolutely essential here.
Composite fillings in the front teeth — Continued
The tooth to be reconstructed is built up with its anatomical structures alternately from the outside in and from the inside out. At least four different composite materials are used even for small defects. Larger fillings require more than seven different composite materials. The experience, dexterity and sense of colour of the dentist, together with this aesthetic material, make it possible to create naturally beautiful and flawless teeth.
You can roughly imagine how time-consuming this filling technique is. For the front teeth, if the indication calls for it, it makes sense to treat several teeth in one session. The result is impressive and in any case worth the effort.
Advantages of this anterior filling
The material is also very well suited for aesthetic corrections of colour and shape of malformed teeth or teeth damaged, for example, in accidents. Here, the composite serves not only as a filling material but also offers the possibility of completely remodelling the shape of the tooth. In this way, the original shape of the tooth can be restored after accidents. It is also possible to carry out minor corrections of tooth position and to close gaps.
However, the limits of the material become apparent with larger corrections of colour and shape. Veneers – all-ceramic facings – cover this range of indications and achieve astonishing results here.
