Preserving Dental Integrity: Biomimetic Excellence in Cracked Molar Repairs
In this compelling case, Dr. Nima Shayesteh, a CERTIFIED Biomimetic Dentist, navigates the intricate challenges posed by a molar housing a substantial silver filling. The tooth's integrity is compromised not merely by visible cracks but, more critically, by deep dentinal cracks concealed beneath the surface. These cracks, often lurking beneath large silver fillings, carry the potential for nerve damage and eventual tooth splitting.
Biomimetic Dentistry, under Dr. Shayesteh's expertise, introduces a crucial dimension – the ability to identify and meticulously address these deep dental cracks. Utilizing high magnification, such as a Dental microscope, a specialized crack dissection protocol is executed. This protocol prevents the progression of cracks, averting nerve damage and mitigating the risk of tooth loss—a fundamental attribute of Biomimetic dentistry.
As tensile forces from the large silver filling contributed to the cracks, Biomimetic dentistry preparation designs come into play. These designs strategically convert harmful tensile forces into compressive forces, promoting tooth integrity. The biodome overlay design, a hallmark of Biomimetic restorations, further fortifies the tooth by maintaining a bonded structure.
Dr. Shayesteh's commitment to excellence extends to the meticulous steps taken in adhesive reconstructive cases. Unlike traditional dentistry, where these steps may not be standard, Dr. Shayesteh incorporates at least 14 additional steps. In this case, immediate dentinal sealing was implemented to prevent sensitivity and bacterial ingress, simultaneously bolstering bond strength by up to 400%. Furthermore, the tooth's floor was reinforced with a weaved polyethylene fiber reinforcement Ribbond fibers, exemplifying the depth of care in the Biomimetic protocol.
