Tooth filling in children is performed in cases of a specific degree of damage.
The process of filling mainly depends on the degree to which the tooth is damaged by caries.
Filling primary teeth consists of several stages:
- Removal of the carious lesion at the spot stage
- Removal of the affected tissues and filling the formed cavity with filling material
- Cleaning and filling of the root canals when the infection has penetrated the pulp
Indications for filling teeth and/or root canals
- Caries
- Pulpitis
- Tooth fracture
- Enamel crack
Contraindications for filling
- Thin tooth enamel (solution: dental crown placement)
- Allergic reaction to anesthesia (solution: general anesthesia)
