Composite Restorations

The first half of the semester, we've been doing composite preps (AKA drilling the hole for white-colored fillings), but as of two weeks ago, we started restoring (filling the hole) and it is so much fun! I totally love it.  Way more fun and prettier than amalgam (metal fillings).

This is before:

Prep (drilled) on the two middle extracted teeth (class II).
Notice the caries on the 3rd tooth (black rotten spot)

This is after:

Composite Restorations (tooth-colored fillings) - Lingual view

Occlusal view

And here's one more tooth:

Before: Note the decalcification on the middle tooth (white lines)

During: Cut it down to imitate a fracture (class IV)

After: Then built it back up - no more white lines!
(My mesial contact is too narrow.)

Isn't dentistry so cool?
I'm so blessed to be studying and doing what I love.
God, you da best.
