Cavity detect hone ke baad sabse common sawaal – “Kaunsa filling material better hai?” Aajkal options mainly silver-coloured (amalgam) aur tooth-coloured (composite/others) hote hain, each with pros–cons.
Silver amalgam fillings purane, tested aur kaafi durable hote hain, especially large back teeth restorations me. They’re usually cheaper and can handle heavy chewing forces. Downside ye hai ki colour dark hota hai, jo smile me visible ho to log cosmetic reasons se avoid karte hain.
Tooth-coloured composite fillings natural enamel ke shade se match kiye ja sakte hain, isliye front teeth, ya visible areas me popular choice hain. They chemically bond to tooth, jisse kabhi-kabhi less drilling required hoti hai. Lekin technique sensitive hote hain – dry, clean field bohot important hai; kuch situations me long-term durability amalgam se thodi kam ho sakti hai.
Ceramic/inlay/onlay type restorations bhi hote hain larger damage ke cases me, jo lab-made, tooth-coloured aur strong hote hain, but cost aur multiple visits required ho sakte hain.
Dentist decision me cavity ka size, tooth ka location, biting force, budget, aur cosmetic preference sab factor bante hain. Ek honest discussion se tum samajh sakte ho ke specific tooth ke liye kaun sa option realistically best trade-off deta hai.
