How does tooth wedge shape defect do?

summary

Wedge shaped defect is easily neglected by Chinese people. Because the location of the occurrence is generally more hidden, occurs in the tooth neck, usually not sensitive or pain, it is difficult to be found. Wedge shaped defect may be broken once it is sensitive or painful. Let's share my experience with you.

How does tooth wedge shape defect do?

Filling method is a common method to deal with wedge-shaped defect in China. When filling teeth, there will be an operation of molars, which will also damage normal teeth. In addition, tooth decay or tooth discoloration is easy to occur after tooth filling. So it's not recommended to do the filling. Of course, filling teeth also has advantages: for example, it's economical, generally about 200 yuan can complete a treatment.

The recommended treatment for wedge-shaped defect is inlay repair. The biggest advantage of wedge-shaped defect inlay repair is not molars, increase the stress intensity of tooth bite force. In addition, there are many types of inlays, which are wider than the choice of filling materials. Inlays are usually metal inlays with various colors, which can be made according to the color of teeth. Another new inlay is porcelain inlay, which is more natural and lifelike. Porcelain inlay is the first choice in the restoration of incisors.

There are many reasons for wedge-shaped defects. I feel that the traditional explanation in China is blank and weak, even wrong. Brush teeth to brush out wedge-shaped defect? It's incredible. So my explanation is: it's caused by the disorder of bite force, especially the stress of teeth. Why should this point be emphasized? Because if it is caused by brushing, then the possibility of wedge-shaped defect fracture is very small, and if it is caused by occlusal stress, then once the wedge-shaped defect appears, it may fracture within 2-3 years.

Inlay repair to take the mold, not on the spot can do, need two visits. Wedge shaped defect should not be careless, and should not be delayed without treatment. In case of fracture, it will cost more. According to the special constitution of patients, general diet also need to pay attention to, must maintain a light diet, reduce the intake of stimulating food, it is recommended to porridge, not only can protect the stomach, but also can reduce the pain of patients.
