About the service

Causes of pathology

Caries is the destruction of hard tooth tissues, which is accompanied by the formation of a cavity defect. Translated from Latin, the term means “rotting.”

In the mechanism of development of the carious process, pathological changes in the body are important. The following factors contribute to the occurrence of the disease:

  • Insufficient oral hygiene
  • Heredity
  • Poor nutrition, deficiency of vitamins, calcium, microelements
  • Eating large amounts of carbohydrates
  • Diseases of the digestive system
  • Metabolic disorder
  • Decreased immunity
  • Bad habits
  • Immunodeficiency conditions

Due to the negative impact on the enamel, plaque is formed, which causes caries. Local reasons include changes in the composition and quantity of saliva, the condition of the pulp, etc.

Unfavorable environmental conditions and poor quality of drinking water reduce the body's resistance and create conditions for the occurrence of a pathological process.

The initial stage of caries is demineralization of the enamel, i.e. tissue loss of minerals. The activity of microorganisms depends on the state of the immune system and the individual characteristics of the organism.

General information about caries treatment

Diagnostics of caries

The patient’s complaints and subjective feelings help determine the depth of the existing disorders.

Diagnostic measures include:

  • Visual examination of the oral cavity
  • Percussion, i.e. Tapping on the surface of the tooth makes it possible to assess the localization and nature of pain, irradiation, and identify the presence of seals
  • Probing
  • Thermal test - the most accessible and informative method
  • Sighted radiography, etc.

Early diagnosis contributes to timely initiation of therapy and a favorable outcome of the disease.

Treatment of dental caries in dentistry

Modern caries treatment includes non-invasive and invasive methods.

The first are used at the initial stage of the disease without visible defects and involve restoring the disturbed balance of minerals (remineralization). For this purpose, fluoride, calcium and other products containing minerals are prescribed. The method of application can be different: administration of drugs through electrophoresis, applications, use of fluoride-containing gel, etc.

Invasive treatment of caries

The therapy is based on the elimination of necrotic tissue and subsequent restoration of the damaged tooth. In order to remove caries, the classic method is most often used - filling.

Manipulation stages:

  • Pain relief
  • Cleaning the tooth surface from plaque
  • Opening and expanding the pathological cavity using bur
  • Dissection - processing and removal of affected tissue
  • Sanitation and medicinal treatment of the dental cavity
  • Etching tooth enamel with acid, applying dental adhesive
  • Sealing, i.e. sealing the cavity using special materials: photopolymer, plastic, etc.
  • Grinding and polishing the installed filling, giving it an even shape (the uniformity of the outer layer reduces the likelihood of its rapid destruction)

Treatment of advanced forms of caries through filling makes it possible to restore the integrity of the tooth surface and prevent the process of destruction. The final stage is coating the filling with a special varnish.

The use of new materials with high adhesive properties allows filling to be performed without deep tissue preparation.

An alternative safe option is laser treatment for caries. This procedure is painless and allows you to prepare the cavity for filling by eliminating the affected areas with a directed laser beam.

Other effective ways to treat caries in the clinic include:

  1. Ozone therapy, which involves treating damaged surfaces with ozone
  2. Treatment with the ICON system - technology using the defect infiltration method: treatment with alcohol, acid and special resin (used for caries at the spot stage) without subsequent preparation

What type of therapy to choose in each specific case is decided by the doctor, taking into account the stage, extent of the process, and the general well-being of the patient.

Symptoms and stages of the disease

In most cases, the carious process develops gradually. The first signs are discomfort and discomfort during meals. Further progression of the pathology leads to an increase in clinical symptoms.

During the pathological process, several stages are distinguished:

1
Stain. Single spots of yellow or brown color are visible on the surface of the enamel. Recommend preventive measures
2
Superficial caries. Under the influence of microorganisms, enamel is damaged, pigmentation appears, microcracks are formed, which can be detected during a dental examination
3
Medium caries. In the process of tooth decay, a defect is formed - a cavity. Characterized by bad breath, pain when tapping on the tooth, and other symptoms
4
Deep carious process. There is damage to all tissues up to the complete destruction of the tooth and subsequent removal. Patients complain of acute pain under the influence of temperature, chemical and other irritants.

The lack of effective therapy is fraught with the development of complications. With pulpitis, the pathological process extends to the pulp, affects the neurovascular bundle and is accompanied by severe pain, especially in the evening. Damage to the bone tissues surrounding the tooth causes periodontitis, which is manifested by pronounced symptoms: swelling of the gums, sharp throbbing pain, and elevated body temperature.
