What is Omnichroma?

OMNICHROMA is a universal, radiopaque, one-shade, resin-based composite. It incorporates Smart Chromatic Technology, a unique technology based on fillers that generate red-to-yellow structural color. As a result, the cured composite blends with the surrounding tooth structure of almost any patient.

Are all flowable composite similar?

However, not all flowables are alike. Newer materials have higher filler contents than their predecessors, which improve some of the well-known disadvantages. These improved materials can be used for more than in the past and with similar results to more viscous composites.

What is universal composite?

At first glance, the meaning of a universal composite restorative material is easy to describe: Use anywhere on the tooth, anywhere in the mouth and perform equally well in both anterior and posterior applications.

What is blocker in dentistry?

A dental block is a colloquial term for anesthetizing (numbing) the area of the mouth before a dental procedure. Also called regional anesthesia or a nerve block because many blocks numb the alveolar nerve. Blocking sensation in the alveolar nerve will numb the teeth, jaw, or lips.

What is packable composite?

Packable: Packable composites were developed to be used in posterior situations. Unlike flowable composite, they exhibit a higher viscosity thereby necessitating greater force upon application to ‘pack’ the material into the prepared cavity.

Why is flowable composite used?

Flowable composites are often utilized as a liner under composite restorations. The purpose is to seal the margin, which helps prevent postoperative sensitivity and secondary caries.

What is dental composite material made of?

The Material of Composite Fillings Composite resin fillings are a popular alternative to silver fillings. They are made of a plastic substance called acrylic resin that is reinforced with powdered glass quartz, silica, or other ceramic particles.

What is mandibular nerve block?

A mandibular nerve block is a procedure to numb the lower jaw (mandible) and a part of the mouth and tongue. An anesthetic solution is injected adjacent to the mandibular nerve to block the transmission of pain signals from the mandible to the brain.

What cranial nerve do dentists numb?

The most commonly anesthetized nerves in dentistry are branches or nerve trunks associated with the maxillary and mandibular divisions of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V).

Is composite good for teeth?

Pros and Cons of Composite Resin Fillings Composite resin offers an aesthetically-pleasing restoration. It also requires less enamel removal and tooth preparation, allowing you to maintain as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. The cons to composite fillings are cost and longevity.

What is flowable composite used for in dentistry?

Which nerves are used for dental anesthesia?

The caudal maxillary alveolar nerve (innervates the maxillary molar teeth, the associated buccal gingiva, and buccal mucosa), the middle maxillary alveolar nerve (innervates the pre-molar teeth and the associated buccal mucosa), the rostral maxillary alveolar nerve (innervates the canine and incisor teeth, and the …
