1. Classification of filling materials
Depending to which group the tooth belongs,
filling materials are distinguished:
 For front group of teeth
 For molars and premolars
According to the material from which restorative
materials are produced, they are divided into:
Metals : amalgam, alloys, pure metals (gold);
Non metals: cements, plastic,
composite materials.
According to the purpose
Filling materials are divided for:
Permanent
Temporary
Light-curing composite filling material
Therapeutic linings
Calcium
hydroxide
cements
Zinc
oxide/eugenol
cements
Objectives of pulp protection are as
follows: .
■ Therapeutic:
Stimulate odontoblasts to lay down
reparative dentine.
Encourage remineralisation of dentine.
Act against any remaining bacteria.
■ Protect from chemicals. These
may come from the oral cavity,
bacteria or from the restorative
material.
■ Protect from temperature. Metal
restorative materials, such as amalgam
and gold, will transmit changes in
temperature from the oral cavity and, in
the absence of a suitable layer of
dentine in deep cavities, additional
protection must be provided.
■ Seal the dentinal tubules. This will
prevent fluids containing bacteria,
molecules and ions entering the dentinal
tubules, and as a result prevent pain and
possible further caries.

It must be

however, that they
are less translucent

therefore their
appearance is less
acceptable.

Dental amalgam
Useage of silver amalgam:
а – amalgam is taken out from the capsule;
б, в, г – filling of I, II and V classes respectively
Amalgam without gamma-2 phase Sybraloy (Kerr)

Conditioning of dentine
Dentine conditioning and adhesion. (a) Freshly cut dentine
surface. (b) Conditioned dentine. (c) With bonding agent
applied.
