Tooth preservation & root canals
Resin build-up
Suitability and methods depend on your condition. This is general medical information, not a diagnosis. Confirm actual clinic services and your plan during consultation. This translation needs review by a clinician and a native-language reviewer.
Understanding the treatment
Composite resin restores tooth tissue lost to decay or fracture using the remaining tooth as a foundation.
What do we examine?
We assess the amount and location of remaining tissue, cracks and fractures, pulp, moisture control, bonding and bite.
Examination and treatment steps
- Identify tooth damage
- Assess remaining tissue
- Evaluate restorability
- Composite build-up
- Check form and bite
- Final restoration and follow-up
Steps may change or additional care may be needed after examination.
When can it be considered?
Depending on damage and bonding conditions, build-up may serve as a restoration or prepare the shape before prosthetic treatment.
- Extensive loss of tooth tissue
- A fractured part of a tooth
- A lost existing restoration
- Need to restore tooth shape
- Need to restore shape before prosthetic treatment
It is not suitable for every tooth
Deep fractures, root damage, too little tissue or difficulty controlling moisture may require other treatment. A crown or onlay may be considered after build-up.
Care after treatment
Avoid cracking very hard foods with the tooth. Check restoration margins, fractures and bite.
Points to consider
Detachment, wear or fracture can occur. Pulp condition may separately require VPT or root canal treatment.
