TLDRThe video script outlines the process of dental restoration using modern and aesthetic materials as an alternative to amalgam fillings. Initially, local anesthesia is administered for comfort during the removal of old amalgam. A dental bur is used to carefully remove the metal, revealing the healthy tooth structure. Post-removal, potential issues such as residual caries, pigmentations, and leakages are assessed. Any remaining caries are removed with a specialized bur. The script highlights that amalgam can leave pigmentations on the cavity walls, which are not to be mistaken for caries to avoid weakening the tooth further. A 37% phosphoric acid is then used to etch the dental enamel, creating micropores for better material adhesion. A base is placed after caries removal, and the cavity is shaped for a composite resin inlay. An impression is taken and sent to a lab for the creation of a white restoration. Upon receiving the finished restoration, the dentist prepares both surfaces for optimal adhesion and applies the cement. The restoration is seated accurately, excess cement is removed, and the cement is hardened with a photocuring lamp. Finally, the bite is adjusted, and the restoration edges are polished to prevent leakages or color changes in the future.

Takeaways
  • 🔍 **Local Anesthesia**: In most cases, local anesthesia is required for comfort during the removal of old amalgam restorations.

    -After the removal of amalgam, issues such as dental caries, pigmentations, and leakages or aesthetic concerns may be observed.

  • How is residual caries removed after the amalgam is removed?

    -Residual caries is removed using a special dental bur.

  • What is the difference between dental pigmentations and caries?

    -Dental pigmentations are discolorations left by the amalgam and should not be confused with caries, as caries would significantly weaken the tooth structure.

  • What role does 37% phosphoric acid play in the restoration process?

    -37% phosphoric acid is used to etch the dental enamel, creating micropores that allow for the chemical adhesion of the restorative materials to the tooth.

  • What is placed after the removal of dental caries to prepare for the restoration?

    -A base is placed after the removal of dental caries to prepare the cavity for the chosen type of restoration.

  • What type of restoration is chosen in the script?

    -In the script, a composite resin inlay is chosen for the restoration.

  • How should the cavity be shaped for a composite resin inlay?

    -The cavity should be shaped with wide access and smooth walls to allow the restoration to be placed along a single axis.

  • What is done with the impression taken by the dentist?

    -The impression is sent to the dental laboratory to fabricate the white inlay or restoration.

  • How does the dentist ensure a good fit and adhesion of the restoration?

    -The dentist prepares both the tooth surface and the restoration surface, then mixes the cement and places it into the cavity, ensuring a precise fit before curing it with a photocuring lamp.

  • What final steps are taken to complete the restoration process?

    -The dentist adjusts the bite and polishes the edges of the restoration to prevent leakages or color changes in the future.

🦷 Proceso de Eliminación de Amalgama y Renovación Dental

Este párrafo describe el proceso de eliminación de restauraciones de amalgama y la renovación con materiales más modernos y estéticos. Se menciona la necesidad de anestesia local para la comodidad del paciente. El dentista utiliza una fresa para eliminar gradualmente el metal de la amalgama hasta exponer el diente sano. Al retirar la amalgama, se pueden observar caries dentales, pigmentaciones, filtraciones o necesidades estéticas. Se destaca la presencia de caries remanente, la cual se elimina con una fresa especial. Además, se aborda la importancia de diferenciar las pigmentaciones de la amalgama, que no son caries, para no debilitar aún más la pieza dental. El uso del ácido fosfórico al 37% es fundamental, ya que desmineraliza el esmalte y crea microporos para una mejor adhesión de los materiales de restauración.

🏥 Preparación y Colocación de una Restauración con Resina Compuesta

Una vez eliminada la caries dental, se procede a colocar una base y a moldear la cavidad según el tipo de restauración elegida, en este caso, una incrustación de resina compuesta. La conformación de la cavidad debe ser amplia y con paredes lisas para facilitar la entrada de la restauración en un solo eje. El dentista toma una impresión de la muela y la envía al laboratorio para fabricar la restauración. Al recibir el modelo de trabajo del laboratorio, el dentista prepara las superficies del diente y de la incrustación para asegurar una buena adhesión. El cemento se mezcla y se coloca en la cavidad, donde la restauración se ajusta perfectamente. Se eliminan los excesos y el cemento se endurece con una lámpara de fotocurado. Finalmente, se ajusta la mordida y se pulen las terminaciones de la restauración para prevenir futuras filtraciones o cambios de color.

Keywords
💡Amalgam Restoration
Amalgam restoration refers to dental fillings made from an amalgam of metals, commonly used for its durability in restoring decayed teeth. In the video, it is the old restoration material that is being replaced with a more modern and aesthetic alternative.
💡Local Anesthesia
Local anesthesia is a type of anesthesia that numbs a specific area of the body, such as a tooth, to prevent pain during dental procedures. It is mentioned in the script as a method to ensure patient comfort during the removal of the old amalgam restoration.
💡Dental Bur
A dental bur is a rotary instrument used by dentists for cutting and shaping hard dental tissues or for the removal of dental restorations. In the script, it is used to gradually remove the metal amalgam to reveal the healthy tooth structure.
💡Caries Dental
Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay or cavities, is the breakdown of teeth due to acids made by bacteria. In the video, the presence of residual caries is checked for after the removal of the amalgam, highlighting the importance of complete decay removal for a healthy tooth.
💡Pigmentation
Pigmentation refers to the discoloration that can occur on the tooth structure after the removal of dental amalgam. It is not to be confused with caries and is important to distinguish as it affects the tooth's appearance but not its structural integrity.
💡Phosphoric Acid
Phosphoric acid at a concentration of 37% is used in dentistry to etch the dental enamel, creating micropores that facilitate the adhesion of restorative materials to the tooth. It plays a crucial role in ensuring a strong bond between the tooth and the new restorative material.
💡Dental Base
A dental base is a material placed under a restorative material to protect the tooth and to provide a suitable foundation for the restoration. In the context of the video, a base is placed after decay removal to prepare the tooth for the composite resin inlay.
💡Composite Resin Inlay
A composite resin inlay is a type of indirect dental restoration made of a tooth-colored material that is used to replace missing tooth structure. It is chosen in the video for its aesthetic appeal and durability, offering a better alternative to amalgam.
💡Impression
Taking an impression in dentistry involves creating a replica of the teeth and surrounding structures using a dental impression material. The script mentions that an impression is taken after preparing the tooth, which is then sent to the lab to fabricate the white restoration.
💡Cement
Dental cement is a type of adhesive used to secure dental restorations like crowns, inlays, or onlays to the tooth. In the video, cement is mixed and applied to the tooth and restoration to ensure a precise fit before hardening with a curing light.
💡Photocurable Lamp
A photocurable lamp, or curing light, is used in dentistry to harden the cement or certain types of dental materials by exposing them to specific wavelengths of light. It is used in the script to solidify the cement after the restoration is placed.
💡Occlusion Adjustment
Occlusion adjustment is the process of modifying the biting surfaces of teeth to ensure a proper bite. In the video, the dentist adjusts the bite after the restoration is cemented to prevent any discomfort or potential issues like leakage or color change over time.
