The significance of restoring the front teeth's contact point

Abstract

Introduction. The contact point is a small area where the proximal surfaces of two neighboring teeth meet. It protects the interdental papilla and helps maintain the stability and correct position of the teeth in the dental arch, preventing the build-up of bacterial plaque, which can lead to the development of initial caries. The contact point contributes to the natural and harmonious contour of the teeth and their aesthetic appearance. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a highly aesthetic composite material and apply it according to the contemporary approach and the selected treatment method. Aim of study. To evaluate the methods of restoring the contact point of the front teeth, considering the morpho-functional particularities of the front teeth and the aesthetic criterion, which is indispensable for the front teeth. Methods and materials. A group of 12 patients, 7 women and 5 men aged between 30 and 50 years, were examined clinically and paraclinically. The restoration of the interdental point of the front teeth was performed with the injectable composite material Beautifil Flow Plus and the supranano filled composite materials Estelite Equick A3 and OA3. Results. The clinical study determined that the light-curing composite materials contributed to restorations with unique aesthetic features, which helped achieve an efficient and durable contact point. Conclusion. The contact point plays an essential role in direct restorations of the anterior teeth. The restoration of the functional, morphological, and aesthetic integrity of the interdental point can be achieved due to the higher restorative characteristics of the composite materials used, as well as the treatment method selected according to each clinical case. teeth meet.
