Cavities underneath large teeth can be filled with resin or restored with inlays, and root canal treatment is needed if they cause pulpitis.
1. Resin filling: If the decayed area of a large tooth is relatively small, resin filling can be performed. The decayed material inside the cavity will be cleaned up with instruments, and the resin that is the same color as the tooth will be chosen to fill the cavity, and then it will be adjusted and polished after the cavity is filled.
2. Inlay restoration: If the cavity is large, you can choose to have inlay restoration; inlay is a kind of intracoronal restoration embedded in the tooth tissue to restore the shape and function of the defective tooth; after the cavity is cleaned up, the cavity will be prepared for the cavity, and then the bite model will be made, and then finally, the test fitting and bonding can be carried out.
3. Root canal treatment: If the cavity penetrates through the pulp and leads to pulpitis, root canal treatment is needed to clean the pulp thoroughly and fill it tightly for complete cure.
It is recommended to go to the stomatology department for an early checkup for a reasonable restoration plan according to the carious condition of the tooth; usually keep good oral hygiene and regular checkups.
