Composite filling (permanent tooth) II stage of caries
Caries is one of the most common diseases of the human oral cavity. The development of caries occurs in several stages, which indicate the degree of destruction of the teeth. At the II stage of caries, all layers of tooth enamel are destroyed, caries crosses the enamel-dentine border and the surface layer of dentine. The disease causes a lot of inconvenience, because deep dental tissue has been affected.

How is caries treated?
Treatment of caries at the II stage involves preparation of the tooth, since there has been not only a change in the color of the enamel and dentin in the carious center, but also the destruction of tissues that must be removed. After that, a seal is placed. During the session, the dentist carefully prepares the affected carious cavity, washes it with a disinfectant solution, and then fills the prepared area with a composite filling material.

What is a composite seal?
A composite filling is a filling that is made of polymer resin with the inclusion of quartz powder, which gives the filling additional strength and is necessary to isolate the sensitive tissues of the tooth and prevent microbes from entering the cavity. Such fillings are universal due to their good aesthetic qualities, they are installed both on frontal and lateral teeth. Composite material is used both for filling and for tooth restoration in aesthetic dentistry. The service life of a composite seal is 7 years.

There are the following types of composite seals:
- light-cured (cured under the influence of the light of a special lamp);
- acrylic-containing (especially strong and resistant to abrasion);
- contain epoxy resin (especially resistant to abrasion, but may darken over time).
If the dentist applies a light-curing filling, then each layer of the composite needs ultraviolet light to harden. When sealing with chemically hardened materials, a lamp is not needed, the seal hardens on its own. After that, the doctor grinds the seal, fitting it to the bite, forming physiological humps (fissures) on the surface of the teeth.
