What materiel is used to fill tooth?

Answer 1

the 2 most common types of filling materials are amalgum, which is the metal coloured fillings that are not used as much today, although they last forever...the downside is over time they expand very slightly as they are hydrophilic and eventually cause cracks in the teeth... more common these days is composite, which is a type of plastic. these are the tooth-coloured fillings. the down side of composites is that they shrink when they polymerize which can lead to marginal micro-leakage which can cause sensitivity and sometimes further decay. the other thing with composite is that it has to be bonded onto the tooth structure and eventually all bonds fail, so it does not last as long as amalgum, however it is far more esthetically appealing

Answer 2

several different types of filling are available, the location, extent of decay to be recitfied and cost may determine what is to be used. Gold. porcelain, silver alamgam (mixed with Mercury, tin or copper) or tooth coloured plastic or glass materials called composite resin

Gold,gold-alloy,silver-platina for a crown.
