What is composite and what is it made of?
Composites are composite materials consisting of a matrix, which in turn consists of organic plastics. This material is mainly composed of tiny particles of glass, ceramic and quartz (about 80 percent), combined with a proportion of plastic (about 20 percent). For this reason, it is often referred to as a plastic filling.
What are the advantages of composite?
One outstanding feature of a composite dental filling is its first-class esthetics. Unlike amalgam, the color of the material can be matched to the natural tooth color, making the filling almost indistinguishable from the real teeth. This is a considerable advantage, especially in the case of damage to the front or side teeth. Another positive aspect of composite is that the dentist can use special instruments to place very small fillings, which means that less tooth enamel has to be removed. In addition, no side effects have been reported to date that could occur with composite fillings.
How long does a composite dental filling last?
Thanks to its nature, the composite material can withstand high mechanical stress. Longevity is influenced by both the size of the filling and the quality of the processing procedure. On average, fillings last at least five to seven years, which is shorter than inlays and amalgam fillings. To ensure a long service life, it is crucial that proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups are performed.
