What is CAVITY? (dentak caries)

It is a multifactorial disease of the hard substance of the tooth, which when untreated increasingly destroys the structure and function of the teeth.

The structure of a tooth




 
Stages of dental caries


Stage 1: enamel
   
Stage 2: enamel & dentine



 
                                                                                                                  The symptoms are dependent on the stage of the caries. Initial caries and enamel caries are basically without any symptoms.

Stage 3: enamel, dentine & pulp         
 
Stage 4: Periapical disease






















blackish & cavitated

In advanced caries, besides the visible structural defects, the following troubles may occur:

  • Sensitivity to heat and cold
  • Intermittent pain
  •  Continuous pain 
  •   Pulling pain while consuming certain food
  •  Halitosis (fetid breath)
  •  Loosening of fillings
