1. Protect the medicine inside the tooth

For pulpitis or periodontitis, the doctor places medicinal pastes (for example, with an antiseptic or calcium hydroxide) into the root canals. The temporary filling hermetically seals the drug, preventing it from being washed out by saliva, and provides the necessary time of exposure.

2. For an accurate diagnosis

Sometimes it is difficult to determine whether the nerve is affected. The doctor places a temporary filling and observes the reaction. If pain occurs, then pulpitis and deep endodontic treatment are necessary. This is a safe way to check the diagnosis without unnecessary interventions.

Once the doctor has cleaned and expanded the canals, they need to be closed from the external environment until the next visit. The temporary filling ensures complete tightness and prevents re-infection.

Before installing a temporary filling, we always conduct a 3D CT scan and analysis through Diagnocat. This allows the doctor to accurately see the anatomy of the canals, the depth of the lesion and the condition of the root. Then, under a microscope, we thoroughly clean the cavity, treat it with antiseptics, and only after that proceed to filling.

What materials do we use:

• Zinc-oxide-eugenol cement - a classic sealant, soft, does not irritate the pulp.
• Glass ionomer cement - releases fluoride, which reduces the risk of secondary caries, and adheres well to tissues. tooth.
• Artificial dentin - water-based, hardens quickly, non-toxic.

All materials are safe for adults and children, do not cause allergies. The doctor selects the composition depending on the clinical problem and the period for which the temporary filling is needed.

The procedure takes 15–30 minutes. First, anesthesia (if required), then installation of a rubber dam to isolate from saliva, and only then layer-by-layer application and exposure of the material. No pain, just calm, precise work.
