Treatment of Deep Caries
Cost of treatment
What is a deep cavity?
Deep caries cause maximum damage to all the enamel and dentin layers of the crown or root of the tooth. Its prevalence in the adult population is more than 70%.
Treatment of deep cavity
Stages of tooth decay treatment:
- local anaesthesia;
- isolation of the tooth from the oral fluid by a system of cofferdam (rubber-dam);
- isolation, therapeutic pad if necessary, covering the projection of the pulp;
- restoration of all tooth surfaces according to individual anatomy;
- introduction of the filling in optimal occlusal contact;
- polishing, grinding.
Causes and course of deep cavity
There are acute and chronic course of deep tooth decay.
Acute caries is accompanied by extensive, rapid softening of enamel and dentin (maximum demineralization), large cavities, and a reaction to food intake. It is more common in the deciduous and replacement dentition, in adolescents, and during and after pregnancy. The patient is concerned about food constantly sticking to the tooth, a reaction to sweet, cold, and hot foods, and significant defects in the tooth’s crown.
The chronic process of deep tooth decay may be invisible to the patient, painless; there is stuck food. The affected tissues are quite dense when probing, and the volume of the tooth does not change noticeably. Deep tooth decay is subject to treatment, which saves the tooth from the possible complications of nerve infection. Asymptomatic dynamics after treatment of deep tooth decay is considered a successful solution and guarantees a favorable prognosis.
