Item 1: Preparation of dental filling materials
In Wuhan Eye Hospital, the first step before dental filling is to prepare the materials needed for dental filling. The doctor will select appropriate materials, such as resin, ceramic or metal, according to the specific situation of the patient. This process usually takes 10 to 15 minutes. The doctor will carefully check the patient's oral condition and communicate with the patient about the expected effect of tooth filling.
Next, the doctor will take photos for the patient to ensure the safety and accuracy of dental fillings. This process usually takes 5 to 10 minutes. The doctor will judge whether further treatment is needed according to the film results.
After completing the preparation of dental filling materials, patients need to wait for a period of time for the materials to harden. This process usually takes 15-20 minutes. During this period, doctors will prepare follow-up treatment tools for patients.
Item 2: Anesthesia and preparation
Before dental filling, the doctor will give the patient local anesthesia to ensure that the patient will not feel pain during dental filling. This process usually takes 5 to 10 minutes, and the doctor will adjust the dose of anesthetic according to the patient's pain sensitivity.
Next, the doctor will prepare the instruments and materials needed for filling teeth for patients, including all kinds of needles, tooth washers, dental forceps, etc. This process usually takes 10 to 15 minutes. The doctor will ensure that all instruments and materials are strictly sterilized and cleaned to ensure the safety of the operation.
During the time of anesthesia and preparation, patients can communicate with doctors to understand the specific process of tooth filling and answer questions. The doctor will patiently answer the patient's questions to ensure that the patient is in a good mood during the operation.
Item 3: Tooth filling operation
Tooth filling operation is the core of tooth filling treatment. Doctors will use different techniques and instruments to fill teeth according to the specific conditions of patients. The whole operation process usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of tooth filling.
The doctor will first clean the patient's decayed teeth to remove necrotic tissue and bacteria. This process usually takes 10 to 15 minutes, and the doctor will use tools such as a dental drill and a tooth washer to clean.
After that, the doctor will select appropriate filling materials to fill cavities according to the patient's teeth. The selection of filling materials depends on the needs and budget of patients, and doctors will recommend suitable materials to patients. This process usually takes 20 to 30 minutes.
After completing the filling, the doctor will trim and polish it to ensure high fusion between the filling and the surrounding teeth and beautiful shape. This process usually takes 10 to 15 minutes.
Item 4: Precautions after filling
After the dental treatment, the doctor will remind the patient of some precautions. Patients need to pay attention to diet and avoid hard and sticky food, so as not to affect the service life of dental fillings. In addition, patients need to maintain oral hygiene, brush and rinse their teeth regularly, and have regular follow-up visits to ensure the effect of tooth filling.
Tooth filling treatment generally does not cause pain, but some patients may have allergic reactions or postoperative discomfort. The doctor will tell the patient some ways to relieve discomfort and provide telephone consultation services. If there is any abnormality, the patient should contact the doctor in time.
In general, the duration of dental fillings mainly depends on the specific conditions of patients and the complexity of dental fillings. Generally speaking, the process of tooth filling includes material preparation, anesthesia and preparation, surgery and follow-up precautions. The whole process usually takes about 1 to 2 hours. However, the patient should be reminded that the above time is only for reference, and the specific situation needs to be further communicated and confirmed with the doctor.
summary
In Wuhan Eye Hospital, the time of dental treatment is related to each specific project. The dental filling operation needs to go through material preparation, anesthesia and preparation, operation process and subsequent precautions. The whole process usually takes about 1 to 2 hours. Before dental treatment, patients are advised to communicate with doctors in detail to understand the duration of specific projects, as well as the risks and precautions of dental treatment.
