If the patient does not have any pain, this means that the nerve is kept, was not affected by the inflammatory process and you can safely install a permanent seal.

What if I have a tooth under a temporary filling? Pain in the tooth with pressure or nibble signals a developing pulpitis. In this case, even if the medicine is under the seal, a visit to the doctor should not be postponed. As a temporary aid, you can drink an analgesic from a toothache.

In the treatment, it sometimes becomes necessary to leave the medication in the affected area for several hours or days. Thus it is necessary to exclude the ingress of food particles and saliva into the cavity. Then the doctor applies the setting of the temporary seal, isolating the cavity.

When placing a temporary seal in cleaned canals, the doctor pre-dries them, places the necessary medicine and a filling substance for a period of 2 days to 3 weeks, most often the treatment time is 3-4 days.

Sometimes the setting of temporary material is necessary for teeth whitening, in cases where the active bleaching agent must remain in the tooth for a while.

Usable formulations

Temporary fillings consist of environmentally friendly and harmless for the human body preparations. They are plastic, have the property of quick drying, they are easy to install and distribute over the cavity. In accordance with the purpose of the seal, different formulations are used:

is the most common composition for temporary filling - artificial dentine , consists of zinc oxide, dehydrated zinc sulfate and kaolin, pastiness is achieved by mixing with water, the material is susceptible to rapid solidification - within 3 minutes;
dentine pastes have a similar composition with artificial dentin, but are kneaded on essential oils and have a somewhat longer hardening time and greater strength;
for filling the channels of the root of the tooth is used a mixture of karyosan ;

How long can you walk with it?
