Applying composite luting agent ultrasonically: a successful alternative

Article Abstract:

Ultrasonic and sonic vibration appears to be more effective than manual force in thinning composite inlay luting agents. Composite luting agents hold dental fillings in place. Researchers compared ultrasonic and sonic vibration with manual force in reducing the thickness of composite inlay luting agents. Clinicians used significantly greater force when manually placing a composite inlay than when placing it with an ultrasonic or sonic instrument. Constant manual force applied over a prolonged period was comparable to ultrasonic vibration in thinning the composite luting agent. Ultrasonic vibration applied perpendicular to the tooth surface produced thinner composite material than vibrations applied parallel to the tooth surface. Dentists thin the composite luting agent to minimizes the gap between a tooth and an inlay, which reduces wear.

Postoperative pulpal and repair responses

Article Abstract:

When filling cavities, dentists should try to minimize cutting dentin in patients to avoid a reaction to the filling. Damage to teeth stimulates a natural repair process. This repair process can be stimulated by a filling. Researchers placed a filling in the first or second premolar of 27 children between the ages of 9 and 17. The teeth were scheduled to be removed for orthodontic reasons. Analysis of the extracted teeth showed that the nature of the repair process depended on the patient's age and the size of the filling.

Restorative pulpal and repair responses

Article Abstract:

Resin-modified glass ionomers should be used to fill cavities and the floor of the cavity should be lined with calcium hydroxide. In a study of 272 fillings using various materials, this combination was associated with the least amount of leakage and the least amount of pulp inflammation.
