What is Eugenate dental filling material? Is Eugenate Dental Filling Good?

What is Eugenate dental filling material? What is Eugenate dental filling material? Since the early twentieth century, Eugenate has been found and widely used in dentistry. With mild antiseptic properties, soothes pain and swelling, has little thermal conductivity and especially can stimulate secondary dentin regeneration.

Therefore, Eugenate is used as a temporary dental filling, follow-up filling or used to isolate the bottom of a filling hole. In some cases, Eugenate is also used in root canal fillings.

Eugenate dental fillings have a curing time of about 20 minutes. Besides, if the dentist needs to speed up the hardening speed of Eugenate, he can mix a few drops of Zn Acetate or Acetic Acid to help the hardening time much faster.

In terms of properties, Eugenate can adhere much better than Cement or Amalgam. Besides, Eugenate has low surface tension so it can prevent water from penetrating inside. However, Eugenate’s compressive strength is not highly appreciated.

In addition, Eugenate also contains a slightly alkaline salt with free Phenol radicals. Therefore, there are some cases where the resin will melt, irritate and increase the risk of pulp death when performing fillings.

Why is Eugenate material only used for temporary fillings?

Dental fillings are a method of aesthetically restoring defects and damage to teeth. For example, gaps in teeth, cavities, chipped or cracked teeth, etc. All customers want cosmetic methods to bring long-term results, not a short-term effect. Meanwhile, Eugenate does not meet certain standards for a long-term dental filling material and is only suitable as a temporary dental filling. Specifically:

Poor strength and compression resistance

Eugenate has much lower compressive strength than Cement Phosphate Zn. Usually after h, Eugenate Zn is 12 M.Pa, while phosphate Zn is 118 M.Pa. If used for long-term fillings, Eugenate will not ensure stable chewing function. Just a little carelessness can cause the Eugenate filling to peel off or even break in half. Therefore, Eugenate cannot be used to make long-term filling materials such as composite or ceramic Inlay Onlay.

Has cytotoxicity

Eugenate is a slightly alkaline salt and has free Phenol radicals. Therefore, this substance can melt the resin or kill the pulp when used as a permanent filling. Besides, when Eugenate comes into contact with pulp tissue, it has the ability to cause pulp necrosis due to Eugenate’s toxicity to the cells that react.

Can Eugenate temporarily replace tooth decay?

Can Eugenate temporarily replace tooth decay? Tooth decay is a common disease today. With mild to moderate decay, other cavity filling techniques can effectively fix the problem, bringing high aesthetics. However, in cases where tooth decay damages the pulp, a temporary filling is necessary to treat the cavity actively.

Therefore, temporary fillings can be applied to decayed teeth. Temporary Eugenate dental fillings can even provide benefits such as:

• Temporarily restore the tooth to ensure aesthetics.
• Supports to ensure normal chewing function.
• Limit acid erosion.
• Avoid jamming food into cavities.
• Prevent oral bacteria from attacking.
• Limit tooth sensitivity due to exposed dentin after scraping tooth decay.
• Prevent the risk of bad breath.

In what cases should Eugenate tooth filling be performed?

Eugenate is only a temporary dental filling material and is not permanent. However, in some cases, the dentist is required to perform Eugenate tooth filling. Below are some practical cases where Eugenate has been used to fill teeth:

Use Eugenate in follow-up fillings

For cases of large cavities, S3 cavities, the doctor will prescribe the use of Cement Eugenate Zn to fill and monitor the pulp’s response. It is known that Cement Eugenate heals scars extremely well and heals dentin and pulp scars indirectly by creating secondary dentin. Therefore, Eugenate works extremely well in this case.

Note, for large posterior sinuses with thin dentin layers, indirect pulp capping technique with Calcium Hydroxide should be used to avoid pulp death. After that, when the situation is stable, the primer will be filled with GIC and finished with Composite – Sandwich filling technique. In addition, you should not use Eugenate to attach temporary crowns to vital tooth pulps because there is a risk of causing irritation or death of the pulp.

Use Eugenate for lining

For large cavities, the dentist will prescribe the use of Eugenate to line the bottom of the sinuses. Next is the finishing filling with composite materials or GIC, Amalgam.

Note: Because Eugenate can increase the risk of pulp death if placed in a thin layer of dentin, close to the pulp. Therefore, lining with Sandwich filling technique with Calcium Hydroxide and GIC, composite will bring safer results.

Use Eugenate for temporary filling

Eugenate is used quite commonly in endodontic treatment: temporary filling when applying medicine, placing Arsenic or after just filling the root canal. Because in case there is a large cavity and the bottom of the dentin is soft near the pulp, causing pain, it is necessary to perform a temporary filling with Eugenate.

Eugenate in temporary fillings helps protect the dental pulp system against the attack of pulp-invading bacteria throughout the treatment process. At the same time, it helps the treatment process of oral diseases become gentler, more effective, and less painful.

Is Eugenate temporary filling durable?

Whether Eugenate temporary fillings are durable or not is always a question of many customers. Because everyone wants teeth defects to be completely and permanently fixed, with fewer visits to the dentist, which is the best thing.

However, even the name of the temporary filling can partly indicate Eugenate’s durability. Eugenate’s durability is not highly rated. Dentists often prescribe it to temporarily treat tooth damage and then focus on treating other more serious dental diseases such as root canal treatment.

Performing a temporary filling will help prevent infection and at the same time protect the tooth pulp completely. Besides, the temporary filling layer can also be easily removed and replaced with a new, better, more durable filling, so Eugenate is still widely used in dentistry even though Eugenate’s durability is not high. It hardens for a long time, about 1 hour.

How much does Eugenate tooth filling cost?

The cost of Eugenate dental fillings is also an issue that many people are concerned about. It is known that the current market cost for a tooth needing Eugenate filling will range around 5 USD. Depending on each dental facility, this price will vary.

However, to ensure safety and avoid any unfortunate complications, you should still go to reputable dental facilities to have it done. In addition, please ask clearly about the cost of tooth filling with Eugenate material before proceeding to avoid unexpected price increases.

Procedure for performing Eugenate temporary tooth filling technique according to technical standards

The Eugenate temporary filling technique is quite simple but still requires the doctor performing it to have good expertise to avoid serious consequences. Because unlike some other filling materials, Eugenate needs to know how to find the right location to place so that it does not affect the pulp. Specifically, a standard Eugenate tooth filling process will take place according to the following steps:

• Step 1: Examination and consultation

Examination before performing dental fillings is an important step that cannot be overlooked. Each person’s oral condition is different, so a general examination and assessment is extremely important. Meanwhile, not all dental fillings require a temporary Eugenate filling first.

Therefore, the doctor will do a general examination and order dental X-rays, a necessary test for an accurate assessment. If it is necessary to perform fillings to treat complex cavities or root canal treatment, the doctor will explain it clearly to the customer.

• Step 2: Oral hygiene

Any dental technique performed must ensure that the mouth is clean to avoid infection. Therefore, in the case of Eugenate dental fillings, the doctor will also thoroughly clean the teeth.

• Step 3: Prepare the filling and cavity

The doctor needs to prepare a sanding mirror and a mixing trowel. Then, mix Eugenate with the correct ratio and technique.

Next, the doctor will isolate, disinfect and dry the cavity. Because Eugenate comes into contact with water, some reactions will occur and cause the hardening speed to decrease.

• Step 4: Proceed with Eugenate tooth filling

When filling teeth, the doctor will use Eugenate extraction and compression stick. First, the doctor will use a stick to get enough Eugenate to put into the sinuses. Then, use a squeegee or squeegee tip to tightly smother the Eugenate layer to the bottom and walls of the filling hole.

To ensure a beautiful filling, the doctor will use a stick to remove excess Eugenate from the placenta and sides. Only when the fillings look beautiful will the doctor let them harden naturally. If you need to speed up the hardening time, you can use some other substances.

• Step 5: Complete Eugenate tooth filling

After the Eugenate temporary filling has hardened, the doctor will use cotton soaked in water to wipe the surface. Usually Eugenate fillings are only temporary or to treat other dental diseases, so the doctor will advise more carefully depending on each person’s condition.

Note:

• Eugenate is often used to fill deep cavities close to the pulp or as temporary fillings and bandages.
• When you want to line your sinuses with Eugenate, your doctor will temporarily fill the cavity with Eugenate for 1 week. Next time, a drill or curette will be used to remove 2/3 of the sinus depth. The remaining 1/3 of the Eugenate filling layer will be used as a primer and a permanent filling applied on top.
• Eugenate has the ability to burn the tongue, mucous membranes, etc., so it requires a doctor to be skilled, highly qualified and professional so as not to affect the lips, tongue, and gums. If you are a child performing a temporary filling with Eugenate, you can let your child bite the cotton tightly for 5 – 10 minutes.
