Visitor asks:

On my second molar a composite filling placed near the gum has fallen out three times within six months. Each new placement requires additional drilling of the tooth. Is it possible to place a different (non-amalgam) filling that would adhere better to the tooth?
Best regards.

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:

Dear Sir/Madam!

The alternatives to a composite filling are as follows:
-use of parapulpal pins, which additionally stabilise the filling
-fabrication of a composite inlay or onlay

Have a nice day!
