Deep Carious Lesions
About the procedure
Severe tooth decay that extends into the dentin and possibly reaches the pulp can cause pain, sensitivity, and risk of infection if left untreated. Dental restoration removes decay and restores the tooth’s function and structure.
Care before the procedure
- Remove decayed tooth material to prevent further damage.
- Relieve pain and sensitivity.
- Protect the tooth from infection or abscess formation.
- Restore proper chewing function and appearance.
Care during the procedure
- Local anaesthesia is applied to numb the affected tooth.
- Decayed tissue is carefully removed.
- The cavity is cleaned and disinfected.
- The tooth is restored with a filling, inlay, or crown, depending on the severity.
Care after the procedure
- Mild discomfort or sensitivity may occur for a few days.
- Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated tooth initially.
- Maintain good oral hygiene with brushing and flossing.
- Regular dental check-ups help monitor tooth health.
