Old Fillings And Decay Near A Crack (Class II Resin Filling Replacement)

In this video we replace an old resin filling with a new one. We also explore a crack inside the tooth, which has led to decay. We go through the full process of filling removal and decay removal, to then placing a new filling, including: micro etch, etch, priming, bond, light cure, incremental resin placement, finishing and polishing protocols. It is a useful video for patients to see what happens, but also for those who want to learn to place a resin filling, the right way.
