Common conclusions

Undergoing teeth root canal treatment may require temporary filling of your tooth. Your dentist may cover the area with an antibacterial paste, which hardens in 10-20 minutes and keep the hermetic tightness in your mouth for up to 14 days. However, such a temporary paste will be typically removed by your dentist after couple of days, when it will be switched to a permanent composite filling.

You may require a temporary filling. Once your tooth cavity is prepared, it is necessary to cover the cavity with an antibacterial temporary material to reduce sensitivity. The material hardens in 10-20 minutes and can provide hermetic tightness for up to 14 days until your dioxide or ceramic inlay is ready to be placed.

You may require a temporary filling in order to suppress a possible infection process. The filling typically remains in your mouth for 10-14 days.

Based on your answers, it is difficult to determine whether you will require a temporary filling. Consult your dentist for more information.
