What are the dangers of restoring front teeth with resin?

Using resin materials to repair front teeth is actually a very common method, and it is also a common means of repairing teeth. There are actually some minor problems when using resin to repair teeth. For example, a few years after the repair, the teeth may experience resin aging and edge leakage. These are normal and require further repair in a timely manner.

Precautions after dental resin restoration

Routine use of antibiotics after dental restorations

For simple implant surgeries (small number of implants, short surgery time, and good patient recovery), oral antibiotics are given after tooth restoration. Complex implant surgeries require intravenous antibiotics to prevent infection.

Postoperative reaction

Due to different patient constitutions and surgical procedures, there may be varying degrees of surgical reactions. Some patients will have mild reactions or no reactions or discomfort, while others will experience local edema and bruising, which usually lasts about 3-5 days.

Oral hygiene

Do not brush your teeth or use clean water within 24 hours after tooth repair, because frequent rinsing of the mouth may cause bleeding. However, you can rinse your mouth with mouthwash after meals to prevent food residues from remaining in the mouth. You can eat and drink in moderation 2 hours after tooth repair, and do not overheat the food.

Regular inspection

During the regular check-up every six months, the dentist will carefully examine the condition of the dental implant and use special tools to clean the implant and surrounding tissue according to the specific situation. Good maintenance is very beneficial to the service life of dental implants, and patients should develop good oral hygiene habits.

Preventing infection

Stitches are routinely removed 7-10 days after surgery; timely removal can prevent local infection.

Eating habits

Do not smoke during the recovery period of tooth restoration, and avoid chewing hard candies, dried fruits, bones and other foods that require excessive force with dental implants.

Generally speaking, teeth filled with resin are not permanent and need to be rechecked after 3-5 years of use. Usually, the following situations will occur after several years of use: 1. Resin aging, slight leakage at the edge, bacteria hiding in the gap between the resin and the tooth and gradually fermenting food to produce acidic substances that corrode the tooth, which then stimulates caries. 2. Chipping, due to aging or being hit by hard objects, leakage will gradually occur and cause caries. 3. Hidden cracks: cracks appear due to pressure, and then looseness occurs. This situation is particularly likely to continue to cause secondary caries. Since the resin will definitely age and the above problems will definitely occur in long-term use, it is necessary to repair it again when problems are found during inspection. Don't take chances and cause more serious caries.
