The restorative technique of gold hammer filling (synonyms: Gold plug filling; direct gold filling; filling with plastic gold) is a very time-consuming and cost-intensive way of restoring small cavities (dental defects) with very margin-tight, biocompatible (biologically well tolerated) and particularly durable fillings. Despite excellent results, this comparatively old technique is hardly used today; however, there … Gold Hammer Filling
Insert systems are prefabricated ceramic inlays (mega-fillers) used to provide the patient with direct (made in the mouth) fillings that are matched in shape and size to special oscillating preparation instruments (sound-activated instruments used to work on the tooth defect). A ceramic insert is adhesively bonded to the tooth with composite (by micro-serration with resin), … Insert Systems
Caries infiltration (icon therapy) is a comparatively new technique that can be used to arrest early-detected, not yet advanced, carious lesions. No cavity needs to be prepared (no hole drilled) to make the initial (incipient) caries accessible to therapy. The treatment is completed painlessly in one treatment session. Caries infiltration is a so-called microinvasive procedure … Caries Infiltration
A ceramic inlay (synonyms: ceramic inlay; ceramic inlay;) is a tooth-colored dental filling produced indirectly (outside the mouth), for which the tooth to be restored is prepared (ground) using a specific technique and adhesively bonded (by clamping in microscopic pores) with special materials matched to the ceramic material and the tooth hard substances. In rare … Ceramic Inlay for Teeth
Resin inlays are dental fillings that are preferably manufactured indirectly (outside the mouth) and inserted into the tooth that has been previously prepared (ground) using a specific technique with special luting materials adapted to the resin material. The spatial extent of the preparation in the case of the inlay is limited occlusally (on the occlusal … Plastic Inlay
Plastic fillings (composite fillings) are used for tooth-colored restoration of carious defects in both the anterior and posterior regions. They are placed in the cavity (hole) in a plastic state and harden there by polymerization (chemical setting). In the process, they form a micromechanical bond with the tooth substance when the dentine adhesive technique is … Synthetic Filling (Composite Filling)
EQUIA is a tooth-colored filling material based on a modern glass ionomer cement (GIZ) that, within its range of indications, represents a time-saving and cost-effective alternative to costly tooth-colored resin fillings or aesthetically unsatisfactory amalgam fillings. Due to its long durability and comparatively simple application, amalgam is still the standard material for basic posterior restorations. … Glass Ionomer Cements (EQUIA)
Onlays are dental fillings that are usually fabricated indirectly (outside the mouth) and placed in the tooth that has been previously prepared (ground) using special luting materials matched to the onlay material. The spatial limits of the preparation are on the cusp tips of the tooth. In terms of preparation technique, the onlay thus occupies … Onlay Technology
Glass-ceramic composites are a group of materials in the field of dental technology. Due to their material properties, they are suitable for the indirect fabrication (fabrication in the dental laboratory after taking an impression) of framework-free restorations (restorations) such as esthetic-looking tooth-colored inlays (inlay fillings), onlays (inlay fillings incorporating the cusps of the tooth) and … Glass Ceramic Composite
Modern dentistry has a wide range of options and materials for restoring (reconstructing) teeth that have been affected by trauma (a dental accident) or caries. The tried-and-tested materials of gold and amalgam are constantly being supplemented by new or further developments, the advantages of which lie not only in their esthetics but also in their … Filling Therapy
A galvano inlay is a ceramic filling produced in a dental laboratory, in which the surfaces facing the tooth structure and a delicate margin extending beyond the ceramic are made of a thin layer of fine gold. Thus, the electroformed inlay occupies an intermediate position between gold and all-ceramic inlays. The technique aims to combine … Galvanoinlay
Gold inlays (synonyms: gold cast inlays, gold cast fillings) are dental fillings made indirectly (outside the mouth) in the dental laboratory and inserted with luting cement into the tooth previously prepared (ground) using a specific technique. A gold inlay is used to treat cavities (holes) in the posterior teeth and extends spatially over the fissures … Gold Inlay for Teeth
