Composite reconstructions
Aesthetic restorations of dental elements can be made of composite, the final result depends on the size of the fracture, the larger its size the more difficult it is to solve the problem.
Composite is a material that provides a high level of moldability, is available in various colors, fits and then radiates with a light LED which is intended to harden it. It is a material that has a limited life span and may require a second intervention by the dentist.
To ensure good durability of composite restorations, it is necessary to follow rules for satisfactory oral hygiene, and it is also important not to underestimate checkups at the dentist's office, which should be performed on an annual basis.
Composite restorations are suitable for situations that are not particularly severe; if the patient has many damaged teeth, fixed or removable restorations will most likely be opted for.
Temporary prostheses will be placed first and then fixed prostheses, the ultimate goal being to give the patient a satisfactory and natural appearance.
