Different types of dental materials are needed at a dental clinic. These materials are used when providing restorative, endodontic and periodontal treatments to patients. From obtaining an impression to performing cosmetic whitening and placing crown, specialized materials are used by the dentists to complete various dental treatment tasks. Using the right material is the key to a successful dental procedure. New materials in this industry are launched regularly. It is important for the dentists and dental services providers to keep knowledge of all such developments.
These materials are placed in the mouth or used in the dental lab. Some materials are used temporarily while others are placed permanently in the mouth. Materials used in the lab are used to make things like crown, braces and dentures. It all depends on the type of teeth problem being treated, the protocol being followed, and the type of material preferred by the patient.
