Treatment of Complicated Caries

Treatment of complicated caries is a therapeutic procedure aimed at eliminating deep tooth lesions that affect the inner tissues — dentin and pulp. Complicated forms of caries include pulpitis and periodontitis, which are accompanied by pain, inflammation, and may lead to tooth loss if left untreated.

During the procedure, the dentist thoroughly cleans the canals, removes inflamed tissues, performs antiseptic treatment, and seals the root canals. Finally, the tooth is restored using a filling or a crown.

Timely treatment of complicated caries helps preserve the tooth and prevent more serious oral health issues.
