Approaches to treat and prevent dental caries effectively.

Immediate treatments such as fillings or restorations for carious lesions.

Strategies used when there is extensive loss of tooth tissue, like crowns.

A system for assessing the severity of dental caries based on visual changes.

The importance of preventing caries through proper oral hygiene and lifestyle choices.

Caries that progress rapidly in children's teeth due to thin enamel and size.

Materials used to seal early-stage caries, especially in high-risk molars.

Restorative techniques employed when caries are not extensive, similar to adult methods.

Modifying fluoride doses for children compared to adults to prevent caries.

Frequent checks needed to ensure fissure sealants remain effective without failure.

Classification reflecting the severity and depth of dental caries in tooth structure.

Caries affecting the outermost layer of a tooth, such as white spot lesions.

Initial damage to enamel manifesting as white spots before further decay occurs.

When caries progress from enamel into the dentine, further compromising tooth structure.

Guidance aimed at preventing dental caries, including diet and oral hygiene tips.

Dental practice approach that aims to preserve as much tooth structure as possible during treatment.

Increasing fluoride application to strengthen teeth and prevent decay.

The sequence of procedures in restoring a tooth, including different interventions like crowns or fillings.

Irreversible caries requiring restorative treatment.

Involves caries removal and restoration to prevent progression.

Used for occlusal surfaces; involves drilling and sealing.

Methods include increased fluoride exposure to reduce caries.

Includes materials like glass ionomer and amalgam for short-term use.

Metallic restoration, phased out due to environmental concerns.

Tooth-colored filling material used in cavities.

Requires prevention and restoration; often uses composite or GIC.

Two-step caries treatment, involves provisional restoration.

Minimally invasive method using glass ionomer to seal caries.

Inactive dental caries that do not require treatment unless for aesthetic reasons.

Restoration placed over exposed pulp to promote healing.

Cycle of continued dental treatment that can arise from drilling into caries.

Process to remove infected pulp and fill tooth chamber.

Surgical removal when too much tooth structure is lost.

Caries can progress through outer to inner dentine layers.

A preventive treatment to enhance tooth enamel protection against caries.

Clinician builds filling directly into the tooth to treat caries.

Restoration is made by a dental technician and cemented by the clinician.

A type of indirect restoration fitted into the tooth's cavity.

An indirect restoration that covers a larger portion of the tooth than inlays.

A restoration that encases the entire tooth for strength.

Reshaping the tooth to create space for a crown.

Occurs when extensive caries weaken the tooth.

Creates molds and restorations such as inlays and crowns.
