When tooth decay occurs, different treatments are needed according to the degree of tooth decay, and generally fillings, root canals, crowns and other treatments can be carried out to restore the shape and function of the teeth.
1. Filling: clinically, tooth decay can be divided into shallow, medium and deep caries, in which shallow and medium caries can be directly removed by using a turbine handpiece to remove the decayed tooth tissues, and then the cavity can be directly repaired by using resin and other materials; if the tooth decay reaches deep caries and pain from hot and cold stimulation has occurred, it is necessary to indirectly cover the pulp of the tooth and then fill the tooth.
2. Root canal treatment: If tooth decay is not treated in time, it may lead to pulpitis, periapical inflammation and other problems, in which case you need to go to the hospital stomatology department for root canal treatment before filling the tooth.
3. Crown restoration: If the degree of tooth decay is serious, and the bottom of the pulp chamber and the root bifurcation have been involved, it is necessary to extract the decayed tooth and then carry out crown and bridge or dental implant restoration to restore the appearance of the missing tooth and chewing function.
