With what material a supragingival caries is restored?
The caries is in a second inferior molar.My dentist says you cannot restore it with resine(because of the moisture of the surrounding tissue?)and he would do a veneer.Y dont want to lose my dental piece,Y would like just to restore it.Y would be very thankful if a dentist answered me…
It is true that resins are very moisture sensitive and if it impossible to isolate the tooth, and pack the gums properly, the resin may shortly fail. Also because of the location of the tooth it makes it even more difficult. However it can be done properly as I know from experience. Also to bond a veneer you need good moisture control. Maybe the dentist wants to strengthen the tooth but if so a crown would be a better option. Some questions you may want answered Susan. Good luck
