Resin fillings

Resin filling is a very common oral treatment technique. It is an ideal choice for small and shallow teeth. Doctors usually make the hole into a small mouth and large bottom shape when treating caries, so it will not fall out after the resin solidifies unless there are other problems. However, for teeth with large areas of severe caries, the tooth body is often not strong enough to resist damage after restoration, which can lead to tooth fracture during chewing. Therefore, it is best to confirm the size of the gap before filling the tooth and then choose an appropriate method.

How to use ultraviolet light to cure resin fillings

Ultraviolet light is located outside of violet light in the spectrum and is invisible light. Sunlight is rich in ultraviolet light. When appropriate ultraviolet light irradiates the human body, it can promote the synthesis of vitamin D in the human body and prevent rickets. It is a fact that children often bask in the sun. Ultraviolet light also has a bactericidal effect. Hospital wards are disinfected with ultraviolet light. However, too strong ultraviolet light can cause harm to the human body, so we must take good protection. The oxygen in the atmosphere and the ozone layer in the high altitude have a strong absorption effect on ultraviolet light, which can absorb most of the ultraviolet light in the sun, so it can protect the creatures on the earth from ultraviolet light.

The curing lamp for dental fillings is an ultraviolet lamp that can cure the dental filling material as soon as possible. In the process of dental fillings, composite resin materials are generally required, and filling is required in the gaps between teeth. After the filling, a curing lamp is required. The ultraviolet light emitted by the curing lamp irradiates the part of the dental filling, so that the dental filling material fits the tooth highly and is not easy to fall off. This curing lamp will not affect the oral tissue or irritate the skin tissue, and is relatively safe.

Light-curing resin is a resin material. Normally, the photosensitizer can initiate polymerization under ultraviolet light to cure the resin. Currently, photosensitive resins are commonly used for tooth filling.

The ultraviolet light used for tooth filling is a photocurable resin material. The resin material is in the form of an ointment before use and needs to be cured after ultraviolet light exposure. The resin material has good aesthetics and a hardness close to that of real teeth, so the effect after filling is natural and realistic. After filling a tooth with resin, be careful not to brush your teeth on the same day to prevent the filling material from falling off, and do not eat too hard food. During the curing process, the energy of the ultraviolet light must be moderate, that is, neither excessive nor insufficient, which will hinder complete curing.
