Treatments

  • Restoring Teeth With Carious Lesions

    Caused by bacteria, dental caries is the disease that most often affects the oral cavity, developing especially in the fissures of the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth, between the teeth or near the gum line. If left untreated, caries lesions can become a complex problem, destroying dental tissues.


    Treatment consists of removal of the affected area and reconstruction of the original tooth anatomy using composite resins. At MALO CLINIC we use the most advanced restorative materials, which allow us to achieve excellent aesthetic results since they mimic the natural tooth.

  • Fractures, Shape Changes and Closing Diastemas

    Composite resins with high mechanical and aesthetic performance are also used in the reconstruction of fractured teeth, with shape changes (eg conoid teeth) and diastema closure. Coneid teeth are a problem that mainly affects the lateral incisors and is characterized by teeth that are smaller than normal and conical in shape. In the case of diastemas ("spaces between teeth"), the physician should evaluate the best treatment option to close it.


    The treatments of the aforementioned situations can pass through direct restorations in composite resin or indirect restorations in ceramics (facets). In some cases, Orthodontic intervention may also be required. The multidisciplinary cases are evaluated by the departments involved and a specific treatment plan is defined for each situation.

  • Stain Removal

    The so-called intrinsic stains can take on various aspects and are caused by various factors. Ingestion of excess fluoride or certain antibiotics during the period of tooth formation may condition the appearance of blemishes. In non-vital teeth it is frequent to acquire a brownish, gray or black coloration. In some cases, the process of aging of the dentition can also translate into dental dimming.


    To solve any of these situations it is often necessary to resort to aesthetic facets in ceramic or composite resin. For facet rehabilitation, the doctor makes a first consultation in which he causes a wear of the dental surface and then makes a mold; In this consultation the patient is placed with the provisional facets. Subsequently the mold made is sent to the laboratory where the facets are made.


    The facets are then placed in a posterior consultation, after verification of all aesthetic and functional parameters.

  • Bleaching of Vital and Non-Vital Teeth

    Although the natural color of teeth is different from person to person, certain factors, such as tobacco, coffee, wine, pigmented foods, carbonated drinks or tartar, may contribute to changes in tooth color. Dental whitening aims to make teeth clearer and can be performed in the office or at home after clinical and radiological evaluation of the dental and periodontal condition.


    Currently, the home treatment performed by the patient under the supervision of the doctor is the most common. From the molds are executed the trays, which the patient fills with bleaching gel before placing them daily for the period of time indicated by the doctor; this procedure should be done on average for 2 weeks. The treatment time can vary and depends on some factors, among which is the original color (darker colors tend to take more days to bleach). One important information that has to be known to the patient before is that tooth whitening only works on natural teeth, which means that existing restorations, crowns and / or bridges do not bleach and may have to be replaced after tooth whitening.


    In the case of non-vital teeth, ie "devitalized" teeth, internal bleaching must necessarily be performed by the physician, since it is necessary to introduce the bleaching agent into the tooth and then to place a temporary restoration during the period that the gel bleach is working.


    In some cases, tooth whitening may not have the desired results for the patient. In these cases it is necessary to resort to other aesthetic rehabilitation techniques such as dental veneers.
