Adhesive System (Bonding)
The adhesive system is a frequently used practice in dentistry. This method is applied to restore the aesthetics and functionality of the teeth. It protects the natural structure of the tooth, allowing damaged or decayed teeth to be repaired. It is also used for cosmetic purposes, such as shaping teeth, changing their size, or closing gaps between them.
How is the Adhesive System Applied?
The adhesive system is usually applied by the dentist in the clinic and does not require anesthesia. The procedure involves the following steps:
- Cleaning and Preparation: The tooth surface is first cleaned and prepared with a special solution.
- Application of Adhesive Resin: An adhesive resin material is applied to the tooth surface.
- Hardening: The resin is hardened with the help of ultraviolet light.
- Shaping and Polishing: Finally, the dentist shapes, sizes, and polishes the material to match the natural structure of the tooth.
Advantages of the Adhesive System
- Durability: The adhesive system is more durable compared to fillers.
- Natural Appearance: It provides a more natural look as it is more compatible with the natural structure of the teeth.
- Minimally Invasive: This method is less invasive due to the application of a smaller amount of material to the teeth.
Limitations of the Adhesive System
However, the adhesive system operation may not be appropriate in some cases:
- If a very large area of the tooth is damaged or broken, a more extensive treatment such as veneers or crowns may be needed.
- Regular dental care and hygiene practices are required in the teeth treated with the adhesive system, as in the case of normal teeth.
As a result, the adhesive system is a safe and effective method of repairing teeth that are aesthetically and functionally damaged. However, it is important for the dentist to assess the condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment method. Dt.
