English translation:permanent filling material or materials for permanent fillings
Explanation:
"Temporary vs. Permanent
As the names imply, a temporary filling is meant to last for a short period of time, while the permanent one should not be removed. Temporary tooth fillings are made of soft, often soothing materials and are placed inside a deep cavity that requires a root canal or crown. They are used when time is needed to craft the crown in a dental lab for a patient. These temporary models can only be kept in place for six to eight weeks before they need replacement.

A permanent filing is applied in a single visit and is meant to permanently seal a tooth once a cavity has been located. Unlike temporary options, permanent fillings come in different materials that affect the overall appearance of the tooth."
