Dental Caries

​

A lesion that appears brown and shiny suggests dental caries.As the enamel (outermost layer) and dentin ( second layer) are destroyed, the cavity becomes more noticeable.

As far as the lesion is restricted to the enamel and dentine conservative procedures like tooth filling ( restorations can be carried out). Tooth colored restorations like composite are becoming more popular because of the aesthetic advantage.

​



​



























Once the decay passes through enamel, the dentinal tubules, which have passages to the nerve of the tooth, become exposed, resulting in a toothache. This is technically known as pulpitis. The tooth becomes sensitive to hot, cold, sweets etc. 

At times as a result of pulp necrosis ( which can happen either as a result of chronic pulp infection or trauma to the tooth) periapical abscess ( tooth abscess)  develops. This leads to continuous severe pain. In such teeth cold and hot sensation do not exist. 

The treatment for the above is Root Canal Treatment.

This invoves removal of necrotic tissue from root canals. disinfection of the canals followed by filling of canals and restoring the lost structure of crown.
