Elimination of defects in hard tissues of teeth by structures made of composite materials
The problem of restoration of hard tissues of teeth with extensive defects is still one of the central problems in dentistry. Currently, science has far advanced in the field of restorative dentistry. However, the question of restoration of the destroyed teeth is still open and relevant.The aim of research. Is to compare the results of restoration of hard tissues of endodontically treated teeth with indirect composite restorations (reinforced and non-reinforced).Materials and methods. Only 19 teeth restorations of the chewing group were made, including 8 indirect non-reinforced composite restorations and 11 indirect reinforced composite restorations. The microhardness of the composite materials was calculated using the Brinell method and the economic efficiency of indirect composite restorations was also estimated.Results and discussion. A higher level of quality of indirect composite restorations reinforced with fiberglass tape was determined. Laboratory confirmed the increase in microhardness due to the use of reinforcing elements. The economic efficiency of the restorations proposed during the study was proved.
