Tooth decay often begins in the root portion of the tooth can move up to the crown part and untreated. Tooth decay is a serious problem and can lead to tooth loss if left untreated roots. Hanging tooth decay bacteria reaching the deeper layers of the tooth enamel occurs. The root portion of the tooth normally are protected by the gums, such as gum recession, but the roots of external circumstances makes it vulnerable. Well, to fill a decayed tooth root, is it possible? In this paper, the applicability of Root caries in the filling process and alternative treatment methods will be discussed.
What Is The Root Of The Tooth Is Decayed?
The root portion of the tooth root caries in the dentin tissue were attacked by bacteria, finally. Under normal conditions, the tooth roots are covered with gum, but when the tooth is pulled, it frees the root portion and is more prone to the formation of cavities. The tissue in the root portion of the tooth, the enamel is softer than the crown portion of the tooth, therefore root decay can progress faster.
Typically, root caries and gum disease, aging, or occurs due to poor oral hygiene. If it is diagnosed at an early stage of Root caries, caries may remain limited and can be applied to the treatment of the filler. However, how to root rot, a filler is the most important factor in determining whether treatment is applicable.
Is it possible to fill the tooth root caries?
Root cavities, it is possible to fill, but this depends on how dry rot treatment has progressed. Detected in Root caries in the early stages, can be treated with filler cleaned the decayed tissue. This filling process and filling in the blanks on the root surface cavities prevent further progression of the root portion of the tooth and strengthens.
Root caries in the early stage of the filling process in the implementation includes the following steps:
- Cleaning Of The Caries: Dental caries and decayed tissues removes and cleans the area. This process prevents further damage to the root.
- The Implementation Of The Filling Material: After the decay is removed, the root portion of the tooth is placed in a suitable filler. Items such as glass ionomer or composite resin filler material typically consists of. Filler, non-protects against external factors and prevents damage to the root.
- The Strengthening Of The Tooth: Fillings, stops the progression of Root caries and strengthens the tooth structure. Also, fillings, root access this area by covering the portion prevents the bacteria again.
Filler Treatment Can Not Be Applied To Situations Of The Tooth Root Caries
Root decay is reached the advanced level of the filler treatment may not be sufficient. When the root portion of the tooth is severely damaged, nerves and other structural tissues also increases the risk of becoming infected. In such cases, more extensive treatment may be required. Insufficient filler treatment include the following:
- Advanced Caries: If tooth decay is advanced to the root of the tooth and the nerve is reached, the filler instead of treating root canal treatment may be necessary. Interior of the tooth is cleaned the infected root canal treatment and the root canals are filled.
- The Structural Damage Of The Tooth: A large portion of the tooth and root caries has been damaged due to the part if it is damaged in the crown of the tooth, the treatment of the filler instead of crowns (SEK) can be done. Coating it completely off by wrapping both aesthetic and functional solution.
- Infection and abscess: Root caries led to the infection, and if it is due to an abscess in the gums, filler treatment will not be enough. In this case, the first infection to be treated, and then the necessary treatment requires the implementation of the methods.
Alternative Treatment Methods For Dental Caries Root
If the decay is too advanced to be treated with a root filling if to save the tooth, can be applied to other methods of treatment. Here's the alternative treatment methods for Root caries:
- Root Canal Treatment: If you have reached your nerves and rotten root canal, root canal treatment may be the most effective solution. During this process, the nerves and tissues of the infected tooth is cleaned, and then channels are filled with a special filling material. Filming a tooth root canal therapy is a method that is used to avoid completely.
- SEK (Swedish Krona): If tooth decay is not affected if a large portion of the filler instead of the external coating may be preferred. The coating protects against the pressure of chewing is placed on the teeth and the teeth. This enhances the durability of the tooth that is long-lasting solution.
- Tooth Extraction: If recovery is not possible and completely rotted roots of the tooth, the tooth may need to be extracted. Afterwards implants to replace the teeth, solutions such as dentures or bridges can be used.
Results
Root cavities can be made to fill, but this treatment if detected in the early stages of tooth decay depends on. The early detection of Root cavities can be treated with a filling, root canal treatment or tooth root caries and advanced stage in the coating, such as more extensive treatment may be needed. To prevent root decay and maintain oral health, regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene routine is essential.
