AESTHETIC PHOTOPOLYMER DENTAL FILLINGS
In modern dentistry, health, sustainability and beauty go hand in hand. Quality photopolymer materials and precise execution by the dentist are the formula for creating time-resistant, aesthetic photopolymer fillings. They are used to restore the lost anatomy, function and shape of damaged teeth.
Tooth decay is a common dental problem. Unfortunately, once the enamel is damaged, it does not repair itself and the infection worsens, most commonly causing pulpitis when neglected.

More about the procedure
Causes of tooth decay:
– Poor oral hygiene
– Irregular brushing
– Irregular flossing
– Irregular brushing and not using mouthwash.
Dental plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on your teeth, no matter what you eat or drink. If it is left on the teeth, the bacteria in it produce acids that attack tooth enamel. This is what causes tooth decay and tooth destruction.
Bacteria that accumulate in the oral cavity are the primary source for the development of cavities on the teeth and interdental space.
Age:
Like the rest of our body, teeth also age naturally and deteriorate over time. In addition, if we have not maintained early dental prevention with regular checkups, our teeth decay more easily as we age.
Cracks in the enamel:
Breaking down the enamel causes deep cracks on the teeth and interdental space. These cracks are breeding grounds for bacteria. Because food particles also get stuck in our teeth, bacteria grow quickly. These cracks need to be sealed with obturation.
Dry mouth:
Saliva provides many benefits to the mouth, one of which is inhibiting plaque growth. A decrease in saliva production for any reason leaves the mouth dry and susceptible to bacterial growth.
Teeth grinding:
A common symptom of stress is teeth grinding, which is an almost unconscious action. Most people grind their teeth when they sleep, but it can happen even when they are awake, during periods of stress. The constant “grinding” removes the outer layer of tooth enamel, which leads to tooth destruction.
Genetics:
Tooth decay is also a genetic problem that you can inherit from your family. If you have a family history of dental problems, you need to be especially careful and vigilant with your teeth to keep them healthy for longer.
Nutrition:
Foods high in sugar, carbohydrates and acids cause tooth decay. Consuming large amounts of such foods and not cleaning afterwards will quickly weaken teeth. Sugar is a favorite of the bacteria in your mouth and helps them produce the acid that breaks down tooth enamel. Similarly, acidic foods like soda, citrus fruits, etc can directly cause tooth decay without the bacteria needed to do so.
