They are what is colloquially known as fillings, today they are made with composite materials in white tones (composites) and have completely replaced metal (amalgams). It is the treatment that is carried out when there is leakage in the piece, that is, cavities. It is very important to carry out a minimum of 2 reviews per year. When a change in color, sensitivity or a small fracture is detected in a piece, you must go to the dentist as soon as possible, since dental caries advances without us realizing it, in its early stages it does not cause discomfort (the tooth enamel lacks nerve endings), but the destruction continues until it reaches the nerve, that is when the dreaded dental discomfort appears..
Endodontics, also known as root canal treatment, is performed when the decay has advanced to the canals that have the teeth inside. In the canals, along with small capillaries, is the dental nerve. This technique is performed when there is irreversible pulpitis (strong discomfort) or when pulp necrosis has disappeared. Technically it is summarized in removing the nerve, cleaning, disinfecting and plugging the ducts with a rubber band (Gutta-percha). After this treatment, a crown or inlay must always be placed, otherwise the piece will fracture over time, and you may lose it..
