He currently practices as a general and cosmetic dentist in San Diego, California. Today, I want to talk about my step by step technique for repairing broken teeth! Restoring broken teeth with composite resin is by far one of my favorite procedure to perform in office but can also be one of the most technically challenging to do right. (Photos of before/after images). Last year, I made a video giving a visual of this procedure but failed to describe the reason behind the technique. In this video, I want to go into more detail about the sequence of repairing anterior teeth & share a few tips/tricks I use to achieve an awesome result. So let’s break it down The first concept we need to talk about involves bonding. Bond strength of composite resin to the patients natural teeth is critical for the long - lasting prognosis of these teeth. Unfortunately, fractured teeth doesn’t give the the dentist much retentive features to lock the filling in place. So we need to do everything in our power to increase the bond strength with our physical & chemical preparation design. To start off, I roughen the enamel surface of the tooth up with a medium grit diamond bur in a star shaped pattern. This 2-3 mm patterned bevel microscopically increases surface area of the tooth which allows for greater adhesion. I gradually fade out the preparation to the periphery because it helps establish a seamless transition from natural tooth to the filling. If this bevel is too short or doesn’t fade out appropriatel ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLKMhH8eCw8
