DEEP CAVITY - MANAGEMENT AT WEST MAMBALAM, ASHOK NAGAR CHENNAI Managing Deep Caries: Preserving Teeth through Advanced Care Deep caries, when untreated, can extend into the innermost layer of the tooth, affecting the dentin and even reaching the pulp. Early intervention is critical to avoid pain, infection, and tooth loss. The management of deep caries focuses on removing the decayed portion while preserving as much of the healthy tooth structure as possible. The first step in treating deep caries is thorough clinical and radiographic examination to assess the extent of decay. Based on the results, a dentist may decide to proceed with either indirect pulp capping or a root canal treatment, depending on the proximity of the decay to the pulp. Indirect Pulp Capping: In cases where the pulp isn’t exposed, the decayed portion is partially removed, and a protective medicated layer is applied to promote healing and remineralization. This approach helps maintain the tooth's vitality. Root Canal Treatment: If the pulp is infected, a root canal is the best option. This procedure involves removing the damaged pulp tissue, disinfecting the area, and filling it with a biocompatible material to seal the tooth. After the treatment, restorative materials such as composite fillings or crowns are placed to strengthen the tooth and protect it from further decay. Regular dental check-ups and proper oral hygiene are essential for maintaining the results of the treatment and preventing future caries. Effective management of deep caries can save a tooth from extraction, preserving its function and appearance.
