Definition

What Is Cavity Treatment?

A cavity is a disease that occurs when the tooth surface is eroded by bacteria, and if not detected and treated early, it can reach the nerve and cause severe pain and a larger treatment becomes necessary. Since cavities progress without pain in the early stages, regular oral checkups and prompt treatment are more important than anything else.
If you often feel sensitivity or have areas where food gets stuck, it could be a sign that cavity treatment is needed.
Treatment method

Treatment Methods for Cavities by Stage

The treatment required varies depending on the stage of cavity progression.

Enamel Caries (Early-Stage Cavity)

01 / Method

A cavity confined to the tooth's outermost layer, the enamel, that progresses quietly without pain. Because it is difficult to detect with the naked eye, regular oral examinations are very important.

  • It can be easily finished with resin filling treatment.

Dentin Caries (Moderate Cavity)

02 / Method

The cavity has progressed past the enamel into the dentin. Cold foods or you may experience sensitivity to sweet foods, but everyday pain is usually not severe.

  • The damaged area is restored with an inlay prosthetic treatment.

Pulp Caries (Nerve Caries)

03 / Method

This is the stage where decay has reached the tooth nerve (pulp), causing intense pain and sensitivity. If left untreated, the inflammation can spread and require more extensive treatment.

  • After root canal treatment, a crown prosthesis restores and preserves the tooth's function.

Root Caries

04 / Method

A severe condition in which decay has progressed to the tooth root and the surrounding gums and alveolar bone. When the inflammation spreads to the tip of the root, pus, swelling, and severe pain can occur.

  • After extraction, function and aesthetics are restored through implant treatment.
