Possibilities of polyepoxy composites (highly and low-filled) for treatment, closure, and restoration of deep carious and traumatic lesions of teeth
The theoretical assumptions (on the biocompatibility of epoxy with the ecosystem of the tooth and oral cavity; on the ability to use carious masses as a hardener; on the water resistance of semi-cured epoxy composites) – are presented. Based on these hypotheses, the views on the possibility of creating self-installing epoxy dental fillings and self-restoration of affected teeth – were proposed. These assumptions are good confirmed in practice, using the example of an original, cheap, and generally available epoxy material of cold curing with polyamines such as PEPA and DETA. Examples of successful self-restorations are shown and assumptions are made about the possibility of solving up to 75% of dental problems of patients of all categories in this way.
