Treatment of tiny cavities C1 (~ C2) |
Resin filling treatment (plastic filling) |
If the cavities of the front and back teeth are small and the pulp (nerves and blood vessels) in the teeth is healthy, put resin (plastic) in the place where the cavities were removed. It is a method of packing.
Most of the time, it only takes one treatment.

0.Small cavities
Caries with only enamel on the surface of the tooth is called C1, and cavities that have progressed to the dentin inside are called C2. (The photo on the left is C2)
Be careful in the case of C1, but you may not be treated.
For C2 of the front teeth, stuff it with plastic. |
1.Cavity formation
Remove infected dentin (cavities).
Because it has shallow cavities, it may not require anesthesia.
The shape of the hole is smoothed so that the plastic can be packed tightly, and the inside is cleaned, disinfected, and moisture-proof. |
2.Applying plastic adhesive
Apply to the entire wall surface of the hole using a small piece of sponge. (Processing for 20 seconds) |
3.Dry
Dry firmly with a strong air gun so that it can be stretched thinly. (5 seconds or more) |
4.Filling with plastic and irradiating with light
Take an appropriate amount of paste-like plastic element, fill it in the hole, and then irradiate it with blue light for several tens of seconds to harden it. |
5.Light irradiation / finishing
When it hardened, remove excess plastic, shape it, shape the surface while checking the occlusion with the facing teeth, polish the surface and finish.
