SAPTeeth Dental filling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
SAPTeethTM<\/sup> are highly specialised polymers, specially made to protect the bone, implant, or natural tooth. Research shows that ceramic, porcelain, Ni-Cr, and Zirconia teeth exert about 24 to 149 times more stress on bone as compared to SAPTeethTM<\/sup><\/a>. However, this difference is due to the shock absorbing capability of these polymers. Therefore, in patients with weak bone or low calcium, SAPTeethTM<\/sup> recommended over conventional materials. The best part about these materials customised to perfectly re-create your smile. And, that too in a matter of few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n Furthermore, in the last few decades concerns over potential toxicity of silver amalgam dentist to opt for other options. Newer materials like composites, polymers<\/a> and ceramics are gaining popularity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dental amalgam fillings may release small amounts of mercury in the form of a vapor (gas), depending on the number and age of existing fillings, and actions such as tooth grinding and gum chewing. When a new amalgam filling or an old filling, patients may experience a temporary increase in exposure to mercury vapor. While there are no known health risks associated with ingestion of small particles of amalgam, mercury vapours harmful in certain patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In general, people with multiple dental amalgam fillings may have slightly higher mercury levels in their blood or urine, however, they usually remain at a level considered safe. Studies on people with dental amalgam<\/a> do not show conclusive evidence that dental amalgam causes harmful health effects in the general population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mercury in amalgam is a highly toxic material. It releases low levels of mercury in the form of vapours. Prolonged mercury vapour inhalation cause various respiratory problems. In addition, it is harmful for the nervous system, digestive system, immune system .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moreover, the old amalgam fillings <\/em>when dislodged from the tooth, metal particles enters the body through inhalation or ingestion.<\/em> <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Over a period of time amalgams fillings show wear causing secondary microleakage. In other words, when a decay surrounding the filling \/ the filling becomes slightly dislodged from the walls of the tooth. Bacteria enters in and reaches the root leading to infection of teeth, which requires a root canal treatment.<\/a> Teeth sensitivity clear indication that the amalgam filling replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n In addition, amalgam fillings made of metal expand and contract due to hot or cold food respectively. This may lead to fracture of teeth or cracking of teeth and loosening of the filling creating gaps for the bacteria to get in. After that, amalgam filling also requires preparation of cavity that involves more loss of tooth structure in contrast to the tooth coloured restoration (composite<\/a>) that are with very conservative cavity preparation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"..\/ORAL-HEALTH-Amalgam.jpg\"](\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-25.png\" "\\"\\"")
