In healthy teeth, Enamel protects the underlying layer of dentin which is softer than enamel. But some peoples may determines tooth sensitivity by brushing. The tooth roots are protected by gums, but the enamel is worn down therefore, it results in sensitive teeth.

Supplements for dental materials are selected for placement:

Amalgam and silver filling have been used to filling cavities. Dental amalgam is the safest and the most common type of dental filling, it is long, durable and less expensive. While silver filling are popular because the color matches with your teeth.

Answer 2

Choosing what type of material used for placement will alleviate or hopefully avoid postoperative tooth sensitivity. This will eliminate future endodontic treatment when the sensitivity persists. Placement of resin-based amalgams is still the harmless procedure. It requires placing a thin layer of resin, let it adjust for a few seconds then curing it. Clinical researchers have noticed a neglect in using curing lights. If the light is curing inefficiently, postoperative tooth sensitivity complaints increases.
