Micro-nano-filled biocompatible polyepoxides for outclinical self-restoration of large dental carious and traumatic damages

Abstract

For the first time, a theoretical thesis for the need to introduce preventative and self-restorative methods in dentistry has been provided at the level of a popular scientific experimental publication, thanks to the use of compositions with nano-silica, nano-alumina and micro-sized mineral plant fillers. The thesis about possibilities of preventive and self-restorative methods in dentistry - has been experimentally prove on standard polyepoxy filled materials. The effect is achieved, thanks to the use of compositions with nano-silica and micro-sized biocompatible mineral fillers. 

Our hypotheses were confirmed in the obtained results of observations in the well-being of volunteer patients by visual information (photo, x-ray image) of the treated groups of affected teeth.

The experimental part was based on the results of preclinical studies and was conducted on volunteers, with the involvement of consultants from dental clinics. All these assumptions and hypotheses were confirmed by the obtained results of observations of the patients' well-being and visual information (photos, X-rays) of the treated groups of affected teeth.

The physical, mechanical and resistance parameters of these epoxy compositions during curing in dry and wet (or underwater) conditions are indicated. Practical examples of fillings and restorations of real teeth are presented. It has been shown that the use of these compositions (subject to curing technology) provides highly effective dental fillings, with a minimal percentage of unsuccessful cases and the absence of post-effects. The results confirm the possibility of effective prevention and self-healing of dental systems through non-operative dental exposure of epoxy owerlays.  The proposed method of using ordinary, commonly available epoxy resins allows us to open a new direction in dentistry - self-dental methods. This is very important for the majority of the world's population.
