Today, the once popular amalgam fillings are a thing of the past due to the extensive tooth preparation they required as well as the numerous negative characteristics of the material itself (the amount of mercury, allergic and toxic reactions etc.). New materials such as composite fillings with their countless color shades and minimal required tooth preparation allow shaping of the filling in a morphologically and aesthetically perfect way.
Tooth devitalization doesn’t have to be a painful experience. With modern technology that enables the detection of the root canal length (digital RVG, apex locator), and instruments that enable filling of the said (endodontic machine, irradiated obturator), tooth treatment and conservative dental fillings can be done in a single visit.
