Permanent fillings serve as the final treatment, providing long-term protection for the tooth. Durability and Stability: Temporary fillings are less durable and may wear out or fall off over time, while permanent fillings are securely bonded to the tooth and can withstand pressure and chewing for extended periods.
Temporary fillings are made from less durable materials, such as eugenol or other temporary, easily eroded fillings, allowing for easy removal. Permanent fillings, on the other hand, are made from more durable materials like composite, amalgam, or ceramic, ensuring strength and longevity.
