Abstract

The primary objective of a restoration is to rehabilitate the morphology, function, and occlusal role of the tooth as closely as possible to its natural state. One biomimetic technique that meets these expectations by mimicking nature closely is the stamp technique. This technique's advantage is that it allows for the rapid and easy restoration of teeth whose occlusal surfaces have not been compromised by decay. The aim of this case presentation is to share the advantages of the stamp technique in pediatric patients. Occlusal caries were detected in patients who visited our clinic. The affected teeth did not exhibit endodontic symptoms. It was decided to perform direct composite resin restorations on these teeth using the stamp technique. Under rubber dam isolation, the occlusal surface was taking an impression. The decay was removed, and the cavity was selectively etched with 37% phosphoric acid gel, followed by the application of an adhesive agent. Composite was placed in the cavity according to the layering technique and polymerized with light. The final layer of composite was shaped using the taken impression and light-cured, followed by polishing and finishing procedures. The stamp technique facilitates the reformation of occlusal morphology in posterior composite restorations. In pediatric patients, the reduced procedure time is valuable for increasing patient motivation. Additionally, by easily replicating occlusal contacts, the continuity of chewing and joint functions is maintained.

Özet

Bir restorasyonun temel amacı dişin morfolojisini, işlevini ve oklüzyondaki görevini doğala en yakın şekilde rehabilite edebilmesidir. Bu beklentileri, doğala en yakın şekilde taklit ederek karşılayabilen biomimetik tekniklerden biri de stamp tekniğidir. Bu tekniğin avantajı oklüzal yüzeyin çürük sebebiyle bozulmadığı dişlerin hızlı ve kolayca restore edilebilmesidir. Bu olgu sunumunun amacı çocuk hastalarda stamp tekniğinin avantajlarını paylaşmaktır. Kliniğimize başvuran hastalarda oklüzal çürükler tespit edilmiştir. İlgili dişlerde endodontik semptomlar bulunmamaktadır. Dişlere stamp tekniği kullanılarak direkt kompozit rezin restorasyon yapılmasına karar verilmiştir. Rubber dam izolasyonu altında okluzal yüzeyin ölçüsü alınmıştır. Çürük temizlenip kavite %37’lik fosforik asit jeli ile selektif olarak asitlenip adeziv ajan uygulanmıştır. Kaviteye tabakalama tekniğine uygun şekilde kompozit yerleştirilmiş ve ışıkla polimerize edilmiştir. Son tabaka kompozit de alınan ölçüyle şekillendirilip ışıkla polimerize edilmiş, cila ve bitim işlemleri uygulanmıştır. Stamp tekniği posterior kompozit restorasyonlarda oklüzal morfolojinin yeniden oluşturulmasında kolaylık sağlamaktadır. Özellikle çocuk hastalarda işlem süresinin kısalması hasta motivasyonunun artması açısından değerlidir. Ayrıca oklüzal temasların kolayca taklit edilmesiyle çiğneme ve eklem fonksiyonlarının devamlılığı sağlanır.
