Researchers now have found a pain-free alternative to the agonizing tooth filling. Scientists have found a method to fill the cavities without having the need to drill.
The treatment called resin infiltration, involves the dentists sliding a perforated sheet between the teeth with the cavities. This method does not require any numbing and drilling of the teeth.
The procedure is being trialed at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Dr. Augusto Robles of the university says that the regular procedure damages the healthy tooth structure. This new method requires no drilling and helps preserve the tooth structure.
The process of Resin Infiltration:
Resin infiltration involves cleaning the cavity by pushing the gel via a perforated sheet. The tooth is then filled with a liquid resin via the perforated sheet. Finally, a dental curing light is applied to cure the resin. This an easy and painless therapy which will be very much accepted by the patients. And since no teeth will be removed, it is a more conservative method.

Resin infiltration is possible when there is a cavity between the teeth or on smooth surfaces. If the cavities are on the teeth and if they are large, the method is not suitable.
